Use lint-free cotton pads and nail polish remover to wipe away excess polish after each use.
Can I use regular nail polish for stamping?
While possible, stamping polishes are specifically formulated for better opacity and transfer. Regular polishes may not work as well.
How do I prevent air bubbles when stamping?
Work quickly and avoid pausing when scraping and rolling. This minimizes the chance of air bubbles forming.
