I remember how frustrating it was when I first started stamping. Next to acrylic nail extension this was the hardest nail art I've tried so far. There is definitely a learning curve. It was messy, the images were blurred, and I could never get the full image on the stamper no matter how hard I tried. I will save you the hassle and fill you in on what I learned from my many trials and errors. I will add my tips and tricks after the tutorial.

Life can get pretty busy with all this adulting going on. Someone please remind me why I was in such a hurry to grow up? If you need me I'll be in my blanket fort colouring!

You know what makes me happy? Chocolate cake! Oh, and nail art of course. To get your nails ready for your magic manis, you have to do the prep work. Keep reading for a DIY manicure tutorial.
