Frequently Asked Questions
Are nail stencils reusable?
Most vinyl stencils are designed for single use to ensure a clean crisp edge, while metal stamping plates are designed to be reused indefinitely.
Do I need a special polish for stencils?
While standard nail polish works, highly pigmented stamping polishes are recommended for metal stamping plates to ensure the design transfers clearly.
How do I prevent polish from bleeding under the stencil?
Ensure your base color is completely dry before applying the stencil, and press the edges down firmly to create a tight seal.
Can I use these stencils on gel nails?
Yes, they work beautifully on cured gel nails, provided you wipe away any sticky residue before applying the stencil.
