Q: How should
I set up my work area before designing my nails?
A: Put a sheet of unprinted paper under the discs
so the scraper does not deposit Art Polish on any unprotected
surface. Glue your plates to a hard surface such as a dry erase
board.
Q: How do I clean the
stamper?
A:Upon purchase
prior to first use clean your stamper with nail polish remover that
does not contain any conditioners or minerals or any types of added
ingredient.
B: Either blot on
unprinted paper, or wipe off with a finger. If that does not work
wipe with nail polish remover.
Q: How do I clean the discs and scraper?
A: Use a non-oily, non-acetone polish
remover and cotton pads/balls.
Q: Can I use the Art Polish as a base coat?
A: No, it is too sticky and will not dry.
Q: Can I use any nail polish with the
stamper?
A: Yes, the Art Polish designed for this use
the colors are bolder and the polish is thicker, older thicker
polishes will work but are not recomended. You can experience
problems using any other type of
polishes.
Q: Can I mix my own colors?
A: Yes, just mix 2 colors together on the disc
next to the design you want. Scrape the new color across the design
and pick up with your stamper. Example: red and yellow for orange,
blue and red for purple, yellow and blue for green, black and white
for grey.
Q: Can I put the designs on bare fingernails?
A: Yes, but they will adhere and last longer if
your nails are polished with a base coat and a clear caot is
applied over the images.
Q: Why won't the designs transfer to my
fingernail?
A: Make sure you have not used lotion, or eaten
anything oily. Wash hands or wipe nails lightly with polish remover
and try again.
Q: The design doesn't transfer from the disc to
the stamper, why not?
A: If you push, rather than roll, the design may
not transfer completely. Keep experimenting. Check to make sure you
do not have any type of oil or loction on the stamper.
Q: Should I use a clear top coat over the
designs?
A: Yes, and our specially designed Clear Coat
works the best, without a doubt. However, if you use another brand,
choose the thinnest quick dry top coat available. Wait at least a
half an hour before applying and don't dab. Brush over designs
qui$ckly, or they may smudge.
Q: Can I stamp designs on other things?
A: Yes, but be careful removing the design if
applied to plastic. It's best to scratch off an unwanted design
with your fingernail, because Nail Polish Remover may adversely
affect plastic.
Q: How long will the designs last?
A: With a top coat, as long as your polish
does.
Q: How long will the discs last?
A: They are laser etched in stainless steel, so
probably longer than we will.
Q: The scraper looks like a razor blade. Is it
dangerous?
A: No! The scraper is a blunt metal edge. However
children should be supervised.
