Stamping Nail Art Instructions

How to use Stamping Nail Art

1. If desired, use a base coat or paint nails with a regular nail polish.

2. Cover the desired image on the image plate with Special Stamping Polish.

3. Scrape off the excess paint with the scraper.

4. Quickly but lightly press the stamper down onto the image.  For good results, use a side to side rolling motion.

5. The image will transfer to the stamper surface.  Use the same rolling motion to apply image to the nail.

6. Cover design with Top Coat (see instructions below).

How to use Konad Top Coat

To prevent smearing, do not dab or layer - just use a thin coat, applied only once!

 How to Clean Image Disks and Stamper/Scraper

Use regular nail polish remover to clean your equipment. 

Be careful NOT to use nail polish remover with added moisturizers,

 as this may cause images not to adhere to the stamper surface.

Moisten cotton with nail polish remover and clean image disks after each use.

Be sure to clean scraper each time you change colors and clean both sides thoroughly before storing after use

Use Q-Tips moistened with nail polish remove to clean scraper blade

If excess polish sticks to stamper, clean with a Q-Tip moistened with

nail polish remover before transferring image to your nail. Be sure to work quickly, because polish dries quickly!

Tips and Tricks

· May be used over plain unpainted nails or over existing polish

· Do not use special stamping polish to paint nails—it is too thick and will not dry!

· Roll stamper across your nail, transferring image to your nail

· Do not press too hard or you will either smear the polish or cause the polish not to transfer to the stamper surface

· Special stamping polish dries very quickly, so you must transfer quickly

· Nail should be smooth, clean and dry before using stamping nail art

· If nails are ridged or rough—use a buffer before using nail art

· Good quality lacquer (O.P.I. or China Glaze) or base coat used first will make stamped designs nicer

· Use special stamping polish for best results—regular polish may not transfer or be as bright

· If you cannot get the image to transfer to the stamper, try scraping the stamper surface with the scraper (or emery board) or wiping it with a cotton swab soaked in nail polish remover. Do not press too hard!  Also be certain you are not using nail polish remover with added moisturizer.  The moisturizer may coat the stamper and prevent the designs from sticking.
