The advantage of stamps for nails is the savings on visiting the salon. In addition, thanks to the stamping, you can create interesting drawings. This method is easy to learn by yourself, although for a successful start it is necessary to develop a skill. It will help in the implementation of the technology of stamping a special set. As a rule, the kit contains the following items:
- Scrapers - plastic scraper, equipped with a comfortable handle, helps to remove excess paint. This tool has no sharp parts, only jagged edges.

Stencils and plates
In die technology, special stencils are used for the design of nails or discs engraved with a variety of patterns. When applied with a stamp, these patterns can be an excellent decoration. Depending on how many pictures are located on the discs, they can be produced in various variations. As a rule, stencils for painting nails have from 4 to 7 different patterns. On request, you can order rectangular large plates with an engraved design that includes at least 10 different ornaments.
Stamp The most important stamping tools are nail stamps that help to recreate different patterns: from the web to the chessboard, from flowers to asymmetrical divorces. Stamps are original( Konad, Enas, Born, etc.) and unoriginal. According to the material, they can be silicone and rubber. Rubber is tough and it is not always able to repeat the shape of the nail, so these products are difficult to apply for drawing. Silicone can easily change its appearance. Stamps can still be one-sided and two-sided.
Varnishes
For decorative stamping, ordinary decorative varnish is not suitable. Also, stamping under gel-lacquer can not always work out, becausethis product flows heavily and the picture is fuzzy.

- Density, so that when carrying a picture, it does not spread.
- Good pigmentation, high color density, so that the pattern is smooth, not transparent.
- Color. Choose bright colors that will stand out against the background of the main cover.
- It is better that the lacquer for stamping is matte, otherwise the pattern will be translucent.
