Intricate Nail Art Designs With One Move
It has never been easier to create super gorgeous nail art.
From bold patterns to the most intricate designs painted across fingernails and posted all over Instagram are super easy to recreate with the right tools. If you’ve always stared enviously at those flawless nail art designs, here’s what you need to make your own.
What Tools Do I Need For Nail Stamping?
- Nail Stamping Plates
- Nail Stamping Polish
- Clear Nail Stamp
Of course, there are lots of different accessories available that can make the job a lot easier, but you can’t do a decent job without these three items.
How To Do Nail Stamping?
Once you’ve perfectly prepped your nails, and got your kit organized, apply a thin layer of stamping polish to your chosen stamp. Scrape off the excess nail polish.
Now for the tricky part – roll your stamp over the image lightly. If any extra polish is lifted with the image, clear it away gently using the scraper.
If the image on your stamp looks good, go ahead and apply it to the nail of your choice, but be quick. It’s important to apply the image to your nail before the polish dries on the stamp.
Once cured, or dry, apply several coats of topcoat, and you’re done!
How To Clean Nail Stamping Plates?
Every tool you use for nail stamping, including plates, stamper, and scrape, should be thoroughly cleaned after every application. Use acetone-based nail polish remover to wipe off any excess product. Make sure the nail polish remover you’re using is free of oils and other moisturizing additives because they can create a thin layer over your tools making them less effective.
There are many, many stamping kits on the market; here’s my review of the top five.
1) Ejiubas Double-Sided Nail Stamping Plates
What Makes It Great
These designs are simply beautiful – with so many different designs, your nails will be turned into works of art. The plates are etched really well, even on the finest bits, producing lovely, clean images, with perfectly crisp lines.
Where It Could Be Improved
The blue plastic covering is hard to remove in one go, but it’s not an issue.

What Makes It Great
