mART stamping instructions:

• Apply paint or stamping gel paint to the plate.
• Remove excess paint with a scraper. Hold the scraper at a 45-degree angle and with a quick, steady motion, slide the scraper over the surface of the plate.
  

Important: the pressure on the scraper should be moderate. Pressing too hard will poorly distribute the paint over the selected pattern, too weak will not remove all the excess. You can use the scraper a second time, but be aware that the paint can dry, so you need to act quickly.

• Take the stamp and with a rolling motion, without strong pressure, roll the stamp over the plate.
  

Important: The rolling motion only needs to be done once!

• Now the drawing on the stamp. At this stage, you can carefully remove unnecessary details of the pattern from the stamp with a toothpick, if necessary.
  
• With a rolling motion, without strong pressure, transfer the pattern from the stamp to the nail.
  

Tip: If you don't like the result, you can remove the stamping with a sticky roller (these are sold for removing dust and hair from clothes) and try again.

• Cover the nail with a top coat.
