Nail design stamps allow you to create many complex and particularly great nail patterns. The nail polish is transferred to your nails using a special stamp.

Before you start, make sure that the base polish has dried very well, otherwise it will be pushed away by pressing the nail pattern with the stamp. First you should choose a motif and apply varnish to the stamp. Scrape off the excess with a scraper. Then press the stamp onto the stencil and the pattern will be transferred to the stamp. Now just press it onto your nail and the cool nail pattern is set. Finally, we recommend that you use a protective top coat.
