DARK Stamping Plate is a metal plate for creating designs using the 'stamping' technique. Features deep, clear engravings for comfortable use. A wide selection of designs allows you to quickly and easily create any pattern.
Features high-quality engraving for convenient work;
Allows you to create even complex designs without drawing skills;
Recommended to use together with DARK STAMPING POLISH and DARK Stamping Tool.
Instructions for use:
Do your manicure and apply base/gel or color, cure under a lamp;
If a sticky inhibition layer is present, remove it with DARK GEL CLEANSER;
Apply polish to the plate, remove the excess with a scraper, and transfer the design onto the stamper;
Transfer the design from the stamper to the nail using a rolling or straight motion;
Apply top coat (if the top coat pulls off from the design, first cover the design with a thin layer of transparent base, then apply top coat).
Why the design may not transfer to the stamp?
The polish should not be too thick; pick up enough polish on the brush to cover the design evenly;
Apply polish onto the plate in 1-2 swift moves; the longer you take, the worse it may transfer, as the polish dries in the air;
Use the scraper at about a 45-degree angle; do not press too hard to avoid pushing polish out of the design;
Use quick motions with the scraper (2-4 moves are sufficient), do not scrape across the entire plate;
Quickly put the scraper aside and pick up the stamper (remember, with stamping polishes, timing is critical);
Transfer the design onto the stamper using a soft rolling motion, do not press the stamper too hard, as the harder you press, the more polish remains on the plate.
