How to use nail stamps

Nail stamps are eye-catching patterns that allow you to create beautiful decorations on your nails. Thanks to the stamps, you can quickly and easily decorate your nails and give them an original character. If you are interested in this topic and want to know a little more about them, we encourage you to read on.

Hybrid nail stamps

The beginnings of the use of nail stamps date back to ancient Egypt, where women decorated their nails with special metal stamps. However, only in recent years have hybrid nail stamps become a real phenomenon in the world of manicure. Thanks to modern technologies and materials, they are now available in various forms, such as metal, silicone or rubber, which makes them easy to use and additionally have a wide range of patterns that give spectacular effects.

One of the biggest advantages of nail stamps is their versatility. There are hundreds of different designs and motifs on the market that you can combine and mix with each other to create unique designs that match your style and mood. They can be used to create floral motifs, geometric patterns, abstract compositions, animal prints, as well as seasonal decorations, such as Christmas patterns or patterns related to the summer season.

Another advantage of the stamps is their ease of use, thus saving time. Traditional methods of drawing designs on nails by hand can be time consuming, especially when it comes to more complex designs. With nail stamps, you can achieve the same effect in less time with less effort. Thanks to this, the stamps are an ideal solution for busy people who want to enjoy a beautiful hybrid manicure and do not have much time to do it.

Another advantage of nail stamps is their reusability. Unlike other methods of nail decoration, such as stickers or hand drawing, stamps can be used repeatedly, which makes them an economical solution. After use, the stamps can be easily cleaned of varnish and prepared for re-use. Additionally, many nail stamp sets contain several different designs on one plate, giving you even more variety.

How to make nail stamps?

Nail stamps allow you to create a variety of designs in just a few moments. This process is relatively simple - there is a pattern on a special plate, on which we apply the selected nail polish or stamping gel, move the card over the plate so that the product sinks into the pattern and remove excess varnish / gel from above the pattern, and then using the stamp, we impress the pattern on it and transfer it to the prepared nail.

If you use hybrid polish to reflect, remember to do it quite efficiently, because the varnish can harden quickly and be difficult to reflect on the nail, but we have a tip for that! Try to cover the nail with an acid-free primer and then imprint the dried pattern on the stamp on the surface of the nail - the pattern should be perfectly reflected. After use, clean the pattern plate thoroughly with acetone from the remains of the stamping varnish. Stamp gel, on the other hand, will only harden in the lamp, so you don't have to hurry with it as in the case of hybrid varnish.

However, the principle of procedure is the same. We apply the stamping gel to the plate, remove the excess product with a card at an angle of 45o, transfer the pattern to the stamp with a decisive, quick movement and finally apply the stamp to the nail and cure the resulting decoration in a UV lamp. If you already imprint the pattern, clean the plate thoroughly with a cleaner to be able to make another pattern.

To make a hybrid styling with stamps, it is also worth reaching for the Art Creator gel. It is a product with a perfectly thick consistency that facilitates work when making complex decorations. Perfect for stamping or creating ombre patterns. Thanks to it, perfect designs will be created in the blink of an eye, which is why it will certainly be used by qualified stylists as well as beginner lovers of hybrid manicure. How to use it? Exactly the same way as the stamping gel. Don't forget to cure the pattern in the lamp!

The final effect made with stamps is very precise and professional, and at the same time it can be obtained at home, without the need to visit a beauty salon. Nail stamps will be an ideal solution for people who do not have manual skills to draw patterns on nails by hand. Thanks to them, you don't have to be an artist to get a beautiful and original manicure. The patterns on the plate are ready and precise, all you need to do is transfer them to the nail with a stamp, which gives a perfect effect without much effort.

Nail stamps allow you to be truly creative and express your personality. In addition, they do not require much experience, and no specialized training is necessary. A few attempts are enough to master the art of stamping to enjoy a delightful hybrid manicure.

How to make a pattern on the nails with a stamp?

To make an interesting pattern on the nails using a stamping plate, apply the stamping gel to the selected plate with the pattern, move the card so that the product fills the recesses, and then use the stamp to imprint the pattern on the nail.

Do I need a special varnish for the stamps?

To make a stylization with a nail stamp, you can choose two options: hybrid varnish or Art Creator gel.

Why is the varnish not reflected on the stamp?

One of the reasons for the varnish not reflecting on the stamp is applying too thick a layer of the product on the plate or waiting too long with stamping. If you use hybrid varnish for stamping, you have to do it quite efficiently, because the varnish can harden quickly, so the reflection may fail.
