Trust me, I\u2019ve ruined my designs more times than I can count just trying to button my pants before finishing. Also, make sure to clean your nails with acetone before painting. This helps remove oils, allowing the polish to adhere better and reducing chipping. And don\u2019t skip the base coat unless you\u2019re okay with yellow-stained nails!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Miscellaneous<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fun fact: nails are like vampires\u2014they don\u2019t need to \u201cbreathe\u201d since they\u2019re already dead. So go ahead and paint away! If you only need to remove polish from one nail and want to keep the rest intact, grab some tweezers to hold an acetone-soaked cotton ball and gently rub it over the nail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/beautyguidedaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/\u51c6\u5907\u4fee\u6307\u7532-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1364\" srcset=\"http:\/\/beautyguidedaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/\u51c6\u5907\u4fee\u6307\u7532-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/beautyguidedaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/\u51c6\u5907\u4fee\u6307\u7532-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/beautyguidedaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/\u51c6\u5907\u4fee\u6307\u7532-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/beautyguidedaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/\u51c6\u5907\u4fee\u6307\u7532-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/beautyguidedaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/\u51c6\u5907\u4fee\u6307\u7532.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stamping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For stamping, use old gift cards as scrapers. They won\u2019t scratch your plates, and you can just toss them when they get too dirty. While many instructions suggest cleaning the plate before stamping each nail, I\u2019ve found I can often stamp several nails before needing to clean. Just be cautious if you&#8217;re a slow stamper using quick-dry polish; you might need to clean more often. I keep stamping until the design doesn\u2019t transfer well anymore, then I clean with nail polish remover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you use Seche Vite top coat (I haven&#8217;t tried others) before stamping, you can easily remove any mistakes, like off-center designs. Simply scrape it off gently (make sure the polish is completely dry) or lift the image off your nail with a piece of scotch tape. Happy stamping!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some handy tips I\u2019ve picked up on my nail art journey, and I\u2019ll share more as I think of them!
