Stamping has become the nail art for 2022. Enabling the creations of all types of nail designs.
Initial thoughts are that skilled nail artist could free hand most of the stamping nail plate designs. The reality is YES you can free hand the patterns which is a more personal, professional, artistic touch but stamping is time efficient, clean, and crisp!
Watching the videos, reading the instructions, and trying it is the best route for a new technique. Learning this one is not as easy as it looks but when it comes to nails this is common. There should be a standard nail professional slogan that says, “It’s not as easy as it looks”.
In order for stamping to be successful there is technique involved.
Steps
- Firstly, clean stamping plate with nail polish remover
- Apply a few drops of nail polish to the part of the design you want
- Scrape the polish across the design with a card, just once is enough. Do not scrape over and over in an attempt to get the liquid into the groves
- IMMEDIATELY press the stamper down, firm, and precisely onto the polish covered design
- Wait for a few seconds for the polish to get slightly tacky
- Lastly, press the stamper carrying the design straight onto the nail looking through the stamper to ensure design is placed appropriately
You could now generously topcoat your beautiful design for a luxurious glossy look. How about getting wild and stamping again over the design with a second colour.
There is a technique when the design is on the stamper you apply polish to fill in the lines with different colours. You then apply the multicoloured design to the nail, let us know if you’ve had a go?
Lastly, visually stamping is awesome as nail art for 2022. The detail you can pick up from one of these plates is gorgeous. Don’t forget to check out what other art Rhi Rhi Nails It creates.
