How to use a stamp for nails?

Beautiful, well-groomed nails are a business card of any woman. The beautiful floor now has an immense range of ways to care not only for hands, but also the possibility of creating an attractive and varied manicure.

The beauty industry, namely the nail service, does not stand still and is constantly evolving. Today, manicure is not just nail care, but a whole range of activities aimed at creating beautiful, well-groomed and attractive hands. In addition to the well-known and widespread classic (trimmed) manicure, there are many types and technologies that reduce the time of its execution and improve the quality of the result.

Widespread in the modern industry of nail design has received the technique of performing nail art, which is called stamping or stamping (from the English. Stemp - stamping, stamping, printing). This is a technique of drawing a picture on the prepared surface of the nail plate with the help of a rubber or silicone stamp. The resulting pattern with a nail stamp will be completely different from what can be done with a fine artistic brush, and sometimes even more carefully.

Even a beginner can cope with drawing a picture with a stamp. It is possible to study the order of execution of such a design of nails in an hour, or even earlier. The main thing is to follow the step-by-step instructions for implementation and to show maximum patience and accuracy. Then the result will surely please you. The stamping kit consists of a scraper, metal discs with engraved patterns, a stamp that looks like a print, and special inks for drawing.

A scraper is a scraper with a plastic handle and a metal plate on the edge, which removes excess paint from the discs. On metal discs cut from seven or more patterns of various shapes and sizes. They can be purchased separately from the set and select the drawings in its sole discretion. Paints for work are made on the basis of acrylic, bottled, resembling nail polishes. The consistency of these paints is much thicker than that of varnishes, so the drawing does not spread when applied and retains clear contours.

The range of kits for stemping and their components are striking in their diversity: from expensive to budget options. When choosing, you need to pay attention to the following points.

• Regardless of the manufacturer, it is important that the working surface of the stamp was made of silicone. This surface is even, has micropores, which allows you to accurately transfer the pattern. If the pad is transparent, then with a higher degree of accuracy it will be possible to transfer the pattern to the surface of the nail. Counterfeit stamps usually have an uneven surface made of hard rubber. When using such a tool, it is unlikely that it will be possible to transfer the pattern without flat spots and with an even contour. The working surface of the stamp can be round or rectangular in shape, which allows you to apply a pattern over the entire surface of a long nail.
• The original scraper always has a metal tip, its fake is made of plastic. A fake will not remove the required amount of paint from the metal plate or remove it too much. And as a result: instead of a picture you can get a blunder.
• Metal plates with pictures also differ in their quality. In fakes, the pattern will be unevenly engraved, some parts of the design are poorly cut, which will not allow to make a high-quality design. High quality discs will last a long time: scratches on its surface can not be remembered.

Well-groomed hands for a modern woman is her second face. Many women spend all day spending time on procedures that support beauty and attractiveness. But when there is no time in the stream of daily events, but there is a desire to make a bright manicure, you can use an interesting invention - the Hollywood Nails printer. Even a newbie who has no skills to work with stamping will cope with it. Just a few seconds - a graceful image will decorate marigolds. The printer is very easy to use, the technique of drawing a picture is striking in its simplicity. It is compact, works without power supply.

The principle of its work is similar to stamping. All manipulations are performed using a machine made of ordinary plastic. The device has a movable part and a base, which can be fixed on the surface with a lever. Printing and a scraper are enclosed in the mobile part of the printer. On the basis of fixed metal plate. After selecting the pattern and applying the ink, the movable part of the printer moves and prints the pattern onto the stamp. The finger is fixed nail plate at the base of the machine. The movable part moves to the nail, the stamp is lowered, and the drawing is transferred to the nail.

For the best result, before applying the image by stemping, it is necessary to prepare the nail plate: make a cut or machine manicure, give the desired shape to the nails using a nail file. The algorithm for using stemping is as follows.

• Apply a base coat of varnish on the prepared nail. If gel polishes are used, the nail plate should be degreased with a primer, apply the base, align the surface of the nail, and dry in the lamp.
• If the kit is used for the first time, it is necessary to remove the protective film from the plate.
• All tools are designed for degreasing means containing acetone.
• Choose a pattern on the disk, put paint on it.
• We carry out the scraper on the disk at an angle of 45 °, removing excess paint.
• With a punch pad, we roll the pattern onto its work surface with a rolling motion.
• In a similar technique, we carefully transfer the pattern to the surface of the nail.
• If necessary, remove the errors from the side rollers of the nail with a cotton swab.
• We cover the nail plate with a colorless varnish or top. Cover the nail with a top must be very quickly and gently to avoid blurring the picture.

If you replace something with a stamp for stamping, then you don’t have to talk about high quality design. But to the surprise of the masters of nail service, it is possible to do. Bail out can medical glove, which is made of natural latex. Carefully transfer the drawing onto the surface of the glove with your finger and then onto the nail. Also, the stamp can be replaced with a cut out circle from a regular linoleum or rubber eraser.

The use of technology stemping to create a beautiful design used in the nail industry is now very often. When choosing a color, it is necessary to focus not only on fashion trends, but also to take into account that applying a stamp requires the use of certain colors, textures, and stylistic compatibility.

In modern trends of nail art, quiet, nude tones or dark ones ranging from burgundy to black are very popular.On the nails of such shades will look bright geometric patterns, made in a contrasting color with the addition of bright accents.

Patterns in this technique can be applied over the entire area of ​​the nail plate or only on the free edge.

Applying a stamping over the base, made using the gradient technique, will make the nail art of the nails stylish and original.

Not so long ago, the reverse stepping technique was widely recognized. Its essence lies in the fact that the drawing is performed directly on the working part of printing. The process of performing reverse stemping is very laborious and requires patience, but the result will undoubtedly please. The algorithm for performing reverse stemping is simple:

• cover the print pad with clear acrylic lacquer;
• determine the pattern and apply paint to the disc (preferably, use dark tint paint to form the outline of the pattern);
• scraper remove excess paint;
• gently transfer the picture by rolling the print and dry it;
• Further, on the printing itself, we color the image with color varnishes and let it dry (if you wish, you can apply colors gradually in layers)
• at the end we cover the picture with a thick layer of transparent varnish;
• after all the layers have dried, gently separate the image from the stamp surface with tweezers;
