Street Stamping Tutorial with Gel Shellac Vivid Nail Polish
Stamping is a nail art technique that allows you to reproduce precise and detailed patterns on your nails. Regular gel polishes are often too pale for stamping, but with CND's new Shellac Vivid collection, stamping reaches a new level thanks to ultra-pigmented colors and easy application. We'll guide you step-by-step to create street art style nail art using these new gel polishes.
Why choose the Shellac Vivid collection for stamping
The Shellac Vivid collection consists of seven intense and opaque shades, ideal for stamping and detailed designs. These polishes offer perfect coverage in a single coat and do not run, which is essential for crisp and precise patterns.
-
High pigmentation: vibrant and intense colors that stand out perfectly on all backgrounds.
-
Smooth application: a texture that facilitates the transfer of patterns without smudging.
-
Versatility: perfect for stamping, but also for hand-painting and colorful French manicures.
-
Durability: long-lasting wear without chipping.
