FAQs
What is the best type of stamping polish to use?
Highly pigmented stamping polishes specifically designed for stamping are recommended for best results.
Can I use regular nail polish for stamping?
While possible, stamping polishes are formulated with higher pigment levels, making them ideal for crisp transfers. Regular polish may not provide the same level of detail.
How do I clean my stamping plate?
Use a lint-free cloth or cotton pad soaked in nail polish remover to wipe the plate clean after each use.
How do I prevent smudging when applying top coat?
Allow the stamped design to dry completely before applying a quick-drying top coat in a single, smooth layer.
Where can I find good stamping plates?
Many online retailers and beauty supply stores offer a wide variety of stamping plates with different designs.
My design isn't transferring from the stamper. What am I doing wrong?
Make sure you're working quickly and with a firm, rolling motion when picking up the design with the stamper. Also ensure you've removed the clear protective film from the stamping plate before use.
