Polish Details: N.Y.C. Color in Redhead
Top Tip: Use a top coat over the Konad to make the nail art last longer. You want to be super careful applying a top coat though, because it is very easy to smear the designs. I find if you use a big blob of top coat and only stroke over each part of the nail once, the designs stay reasonably intact. My favourite top coat is Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat. You can buy it at supermarkets, pharmacies, or online here.
I have listed everything I used in the video for easy reference. You can find everything you need regarding the stamping kit at wowsocool.com. A basic starter kit would involve:
~ a stamper and scraper {which you can buy together}; make sure you get the double sided stamper kit as the smaller side can be really useful for transferring smaller designs with precision.
~ a stamping/design plate
~ a Konad polish
Other useful tools:
~ Nail polish remover
~ Cotton pads for removing nail polish
~ Paper towel, newspaper, anything that can get messy and protect the surface you are working on
I hope the tutorial explains the technique of stamping nail art clearly for you. If you have any further questions please feel free to put them as a comment or email me bonita{at}bdotdepictions.com. > ω <
