Frontpage » Guides » Nail designs Valentines day - Stamping, Step by step This beautiful stamping design is made by Karina Lutzke. The inspiration has been Valentine's Day and everything that comes with it, such as hearts, kissy lips, etc. One layer of base coat. Two layers of your preferred base color. Unfortunately, this color has been discontinued. Clean around the nail and cuticles with a brush moistened with nail polish remover (if any polish has gotten on them). One layer of Quick Dry Topcoat (to easily remove the stamping polish if you make a mistake). Liquid Latex around the nails. Stamp the large hearts with white. Stamp the outline of the large hearts with silver. Stamp the small hearts with silver, and place them between the large hearts. Topcoat again (to avoid ruining the hearts when you stamp the next layer). With the light pink: stamp the first and largest part of your chosen design. With darker pink: stamp outlines, edges, and extra parts of your design, slightly offset. Seal your stamping with a water-based topcoat to avoid smudging your design. Finish with your preferred topcoat. Clean the cuticles with a brush and nail polish remover. Always finish with nail oil and hand cream. See a video of these beautiful Valentine's nails here. Note: Similar products have been found to those originally used, so the colors of the design may vary slightly. Color Effect Collection Brand Coverage Volume Guide Ingredients Badge
