Always apply a base coat to protect your nails and improve polish adherence.
Work quickly when stamping to ensure the polish does not dry before transferring.
Practice on a piece of paper before stamping on your nails to master the technique.
For a cleaner edge, use tape or liquid latex around the nails before painting.
Consider using a matte top coat for a unique finish that contrasts with glossy designs.
