Struggling with Stamping? Try These Techniques To Make It Work!

This video was born out of my struggle to learn how to stamp my nails. Along the way I learned that there are different ways to do each step in the process, so I've included every way I know of here for you.

The video is divided into 5 segments, listed below with their start time in the video in case you are only having difficulty with one of two steps and wish to skip ahead. The individual video segments are also easily accessible in my blog post: http://www.nailsofaquarius.com/2014/10/struggling-with-stamping-heres-4-tips.html

1. Priming Your Stamper (1:53) - The 1st tip will help you determine if your stamper needs to be primed and, if so, I'll be showing you how to do it with a new method that uses a Magic Eraser sponge.
2. How to Swipe / Scrape (5:01) - The 2nd tip will touch on every aspect of swiping from how much nail polish to apply to your design, how to hold the scraper and how much pressure to use for a clean design every time.
3. Picking Up an Image (8:26) - The 3rd tip will show you how to pick up an image 2 different ways using both a firm Konad stamper and an XL squishy stamper.
4. Stamping an Image (10:47) - The 4th tip will show you five different ways to stamp an image onto your fingernail. Demonstrated using multiple stamping plates and 2 different stampers.
5. Bonus! The Finishing Touches (14:12) - This final video that shows you how to clean up your nails and apply topcoat without smearing your designs.

If you have any questions or concerns about whether you have the right tools to do the job you may find my "Know THIS Before You Spend $1 on Stamping" article helpful. It covers things like choosing the right plates for your nail size, picking a stamper based on your nail type, stamping polishes and the various scraper options. http://www.nailsofaquarius.com/2014/04/know-this-before-you-spend-1-on-stamping.html
