A stamping stamp is a component of a neat design. When choosing a tool, pay attention to:
- Work surface material . The pad comes in rubber and silicone. The rubber stamp is harder, so it does not imprint designs on the cuticle and on the side rollers. You can use a rubber stamp for single designs that do not cover the entire nail. Silicone stamps are soft, so they can handle both single fragments and continuous patterns on the entire nail;
- Handle . The stamp should fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. The hand should not slide so as not to damage the imprint. There is no universally comfortable handle - check the stamps for your hand;
- Pad diameter . The diameter of the pad should be enough for both small and large nails, for example, in a pedicure. Ideally, have several stamps of different sizes.
- Color . Rubber stamps are always colored, while silicone stamps are transparent. Translucent stamps allow you to try on and print the pattern exactly in the place where you planned.

The working surface of the stamp has increased stickiness and a diameter of 4 cm. To protect the sticky part, the tool is equipped with a protective cover. And a nice bonus - when purchasing a stamp, the kit includes not only a scraper, but also a set of stickers for customizing your workspace.

Reviews
Anya: I had a lot of Golden Rose polishes at home, I love them so much. And as it turned out, many of them are ideal for stamping. The biggest difficulties arose with white varnish - it gives a pale design, but for some delicate designs this is just right!
Katya: I was given a set from Konad and I am delighted with it! All the elements are of very high quality, I got it right the first time and it’s very beautiful.
Alina: In the absence of special varnishes, I used my old ones, which had thickened a little. It worked, of course, but I can’t say that it was possible to achieve beautiful thin lines. Now I ordered a professional series, and everything has become much neater and simpler.

Common mistakes when applying a design using stamping technology
Design using stamping technology is becoming increasingly popular. However, unfortunately, everything does not work out the first time. Therefore, before you start creating a fashionable manicure, you need to practice and get good at it. To ensure a clear print of the design, the paint on the metal plate should fill only the recesses. It is important to carry out the entire procedure as quickly as possible, since stamping paint is not a gel polish that does not harden upon contact with air, but a very thick and quickly drying coating. It hardens in just a few seconds. When using a metal scraper rather than a plastic one, press lightly on the patterned plate, otherwise you risk getting unnecessary scratches that could ruin your fashionable stamping manicure.

Stretching color works great as a substrate, on which you can create different designs using the stamping technique; masters also offer designs in ombre style. Gold stamping patterns will add sophistication to matte nails with a gradient.
How to properly use varnish and stamping
The stamping procedure requires the presence of the following required items: varnish (the main color and for creating the design itself), a sheet with a pattern, a scraper for removing excess coating, a stamp for transferring the image.
The technology involves the following step-by-step actions:
- cover the nail with the base color;
- apply a varnish of a contrasting color to the disc with the pattern, trying not to go too far beyond the image;
- remove excess varnish with a scraper so that the paint fills only the contours of the design itself;
- attach and press the silicone stamp tightly to the plate, trying not to smudge the picture, then transfer it to the nail, also applying the stamp tightly;
- If nail polish gets on your skin, carefully remove it with nail polish remover;
- If you are completely satisfied with the result, it is recommended to coat the finished nail with a colorless fixative varnish.
Animal pattern
A bold, stylish and intriguing version of a manicure in the stamping style is implemented with animal prints in the form of separate small patterns decorating part of the nail. Since the predatory print is quite expressive, a beige base is best suited as a substrate; stripes and lines will not be out of place in this version of stamping manicure.
Are gel polishes suitable for transferring designs?
Many girls have a misconception about permanent varnishes, which have increased durability and brightness of shades. It would seem that these excellent qualities are necessary in order to use gel polish for stamping design technology. However, as practice shows, permanent coatings are absolutely not intended for these purposes . Using them to transfer designs from a disc to a nail will not give any effect, since due to their composition, gel polishes simply will not be imprinted on the stamp.
For high-quality stamping, you need acrylic varnishes that are specially designed to create colorful, voluminous and clear designs. And gel polishes and shellacs are suitable in this case for covering the nail plate as the main color.

How to replace professional stamping varnishes: acrylic paints
Nail design masters can safely be called pioneers of techniques. They love experiments, learning in practice the compatibility of materials and technologies and sometimes making useful discoveries.
A manicurist involved in design has acrylic paints in his arsenal. These are quick-drying paints with finely ground pigment. They are successfully used for painting. The advantage of using these paints for stamping is that there is no need to act quickly until the varnish has dried. You can easily draw a design onto a transfer pad, clean up the uneven lines with a brush moistened with water, dry the paint and slowly transfer it onto the nail. Such prints are covered with a varnish top coat.

If something is not printed as you would like, you can correct the design with a damp brush. Experience shows that acrylic paints are no worse than varnishes and are suitable for stamping. No matter what high-quality varnishes are, when applying a design with them, in the event of an unsuccessful print, you have to start all over again: remove the coating with liquid and acetone, repaint the substrate and print the design.
With pigments
Pigmented drawing
What is necessary:
- Black varnish paint for stamping;
- Any pigment you like – neon, rubbed in.
If you want to diversify your design, try combining several shades of pigmented powder.
Before you start decorating, apply the base and colored gel polish, drying each layer separately twice as long as usual:
- Remove stickiness;
- Fill the cavity of the pattern on the stencil with black paint and transfer it to the nail using a stamp;
- Rub the powder into the wet paint using light treading movements. If it lies outside the pattern, after drying it can be removed with a dry cloth or brush;
- Wait 30-60 seconds, make sure that the paint is completely dry and remove excess pigment with a dry cloth;
- Apply top coat and dry it in a lamp.
Dry stamping
What is necessary:
- Brush for working with ruNail pigment, Finest Kolinsky NDO No. 6;
- Finely ground pigment, for example, like CND, Additives Medium Green;
- The stamp is sticky, that is, not buffed after purchase.
Manicure brushes - types, purpose, how to choose and care
- Apply base and color. Dry each product separately;
- Without removing the sticky layer, start transferring the design - fill the embossed stencil with dry pigment, grab it with a stamp and print it on the nail;
- Wait until the pigment sets on the sticky layer and cover the design with the finish;
- Send your nails to the lamp for 30 seconds in ICE and for 120 seconds in UV.
neon gradient
Materials:
- Black gel polish and white varnish;
- Neon powder in 2-3 colors from your favorite brands like TNL or Patrisa Nail.
- Pigment brush, for example GMA No. 6 from the ruNail brand.
Rules for using brushes for manicure. Basic techniques
You can use a pigment not only with a neon effect, but also a regular colored one - it all depends on preference.
- Prepare the background with gel polish by first applying the base;
- Divide the working surface of the stamp into 2-3 parts, depending on the number of pigmented powders, and apply a different pigment to each of them;
- Blend the junction of shades with a brush to create a smooth transition;
- Fill the screen engraving with varnish paint, swipe it with a scraper to remove excess and stamp the design with a prepared stamp with neon;
- Print the design on your nail;
- Dry in the open air, apply the finish and put in the dryer.
Signs of high-quality engraved tiles for stamping
There are two types in total
stamping tiles:
- Original products of a certain brand. Such products, as a rule, have quality certificates.
- Products in the “noname” category, that is, those produced by small companies that do not even have the intention of earning a reputation among consumers.
Experts recommend giving preference to the first option. But there are several more signs by which you can “identify” high-quality plates
with engraving for stamping, not focusing on the brand:
- There must be an identification code on the plate. It can be a set of numbers or a combination of numbers and letters. This code allows you to identify a design or set of designs that are engraved on the plate.
- The plate in the package must be covered with a special protective film. It must be removed without effort and without any residue before using the accessory for the first time.
- All lines of the drawing must be clear, no image disturbances, nicks or similar defects are acceptable.
- All engraving lines on the plate must be the same depth.
- Also, before purchasing plates, pay attention to whether the size of the pattern matches the size and shape of your thumb nail. It is also important to take into account the length of the plate, because you may want to extend your nails and stamp them. It will be a shame if the length of the pattern is not enough to perform stamping on extended nails.
How to choose a suitable plate for nail stamping
The choice of such accessories in the assortment of cosmetic stores is wide enough for the buyer to get confused when trying to choose the best option for himself. Let's analyze what criteria and aspects need to be taken into account when choosing nail stamping plates
:
- The number of squares or rectangles with patterns on one plate. Naturally, it is more profitable to buy products that contain a larger number of ornaments than analogues. Even if you don't initially plan to use certain images, they may be useful to you in the future.
- Theme of patterns on records. These can be New Year's motifs, emoticons, flowers, lace, abstractions, geometric shapes and figures, flags, letters, etc. The patterns are very diverse and you need to choose the right one according to your taste.
- Material for making the stencil plate. It can be metal or plastic. It is believed that designs engraved on metal coatings are more durable and more difficult to scratch with a scraper.
