Nail stamping! One of the techniques of that super creative world of nail art. It needs a plate with designs, a special polish, a scraper and a stamper. I got this very lovely kit from MoYou Nails, which came with two plates.

The black polish is very cremy and dries in no time. It dries so fast that the process of stamping needs to be reaaaaally quick. Put polish on the plate, scrap it, pick it with the stamper, and stamp. Phew. The texture is lovely and it is very opaque (great for this kind of work, of course).

The scraper and stamper are tricky to use at first. Contrary to what I believed, there's no need to add pressure. The way of doing it is a soft, one-try shot. Since the polish dries so quickly, as I said, if you do it wrong you need to repeat the process!

The plates I picked are #21 and #82. Although I love the designs, I have a huge problem: they are small for me. I like wearing my nails long and the designs only cover around two thirds of my nails. That's why I don't recommend the kind of plates I picked for those with long nails (the ones with squared, whole-nail designs) but the ones with smaller designs, like #70, great for summer btw! However, I had one option like this on each plate, and I picked one of those for the example. Looks lovely over nude nail polish!
