If your pattern is on the stamper but you are not able to transfer it on the nail, it’s is usually because your nail polish is not slow drying. That’s why we recommend a special stamping polish.

Then apply the pattern on the nail with the same movement as you did on the plate. A transparent stamper helps you to see your application.
