DARK – Stamping Plate 03

DESCRIPTION:

• High-quality engraving for easy application;
• Enables the creation of even complex designs without drawing skills;
• Recommended for use with DARK STAMPING POLISH and DARK Stamping Stamper.

HOW TO USE:

• Do a manicure and apply base/gel or color, then cure under a UV/LED lamp;
• If there is a sticky layer, remove it with DARK GEL CLEANSER;
• Apply polish to the plate, remove excess with a scraper, and transfer the design to the stamper;
• Transfer the image from the stamper to the nail using a rolling or straight movement;
• Cover with a top coat (if the top coat runs off the design, apply a thin layer of clear base before applying the top coat).

WHY THE DESIGN MAY NOT TRANSFER TO THE STAMPER:

• The polish should not be thickened; the brush should pick up enough polish to fully cover the design;
• Apply the polish to the plate in 1–2 strokes – the longer it takes, the higher the chance the polish will dry out, as stamping polish dries quickly in air;
• Use the scraper at about a 45° angle without pressing hard, to avoid removing polish from the engraving;
• Use the scraper quickly (2–4 strokes are enough), avoid wide swipes over the entire plate;
• Immediately set down the scraper and pick up the stamper – time is short when working with stamping polish;
• Transfer the design with a gentle rolling motion. DO NOT press the stamper hard onto the plate – the more pressure, the more polish remains on the plate.
