Hola!
I am back with another stamping tip! This one involves your stamper!
Before I used Acetone to clean my stamper, especially my Konad stampers. After I received my Squishy black and white stamper from Ebay I had to find another method. The Squishy stamper is very sticky. It attracts dust, hairs and cotton fuzz. It was a pain to clean. If I used acetone with the cotton ball or pad it created a mess. There was cotton fuzz all over the stamper. So one day I tried tape to see what would happen and... Wepa! ... it clean my stamper with ease! I have found out that many other nail stampers I know on Instagram used tape too, I guess all great minds think alike!
Using tape is much more easier than using acetone. You will save money on acetone and cotton balls or pads using this method. I find that any tape will do the job, so it doesn't have to be expensive. I found this pink zebra tape roll on clearance for $1 at Walgreens and it works great!

Steps on how to clean your stamper:
1. Take a piece of tape. Any tape will do the job. I usually tape it to my desk and leave a long piece so I can gently lift and press my stamper on it without touching it too much with my hands. I don't want to mess up my mani. For the pictures I didn't do that but you can also do the following just be careful you don't mess up your nails. There are many ways you can do this just look for the method that is right for you!
2. Press the tape on the stamper. Making sure it is sticking on all the surface of the stamper.
3. Then just pull the tape away from the stamper. Sometimes the rubber piece of the stamper comes out, but no worries just put it back in. Now you have a clean stamper! Have fun stamping!
I hope you guys enjoyed this stamping tip on how to clean your stamper without the fuss of cotton fuzz sticking on it!
Hasta luego amigos!!
Hola Swanette! :-)
ReplyDeleteEmpecé con el "nail art stamping" hace un poquito más que un mes, pero ya estoy más que adicta a ello. Me encanta! :-) Buscando ideas y trucos en la web he encontrado tu blog y la verdad es que me encanta! Es uno de los más bonitos y de los más completos! Con mucho interés he leído tu post sobre el estampador pegajoso. Yo tengo uno de éstos pero parece que no lo he "tratado correctamente" y se me está rompiendo. En tu post he leído que tu el tuyo lo has comprado en ebay. Me podrías decir por favor de qué vendedor lo has comprado? Yo hasta ahora en ebay solamente he visto los estampadores XL no-pegajosos (o sea esos con una "almohadilla" de silicona blanca que hay que limar antes de poder usarlos).
Gracias de antemano por la información!
Besazo desde Suiza...y sigue así con tu blog! :-)
Hola! Muchas gracias por tu bonito comentario. :) Compre es stamper con: http://www.ebay.com/usr/fancyqube Recuerda piderle el suave, "squishy & soft stamper". No siempre envian el stamper bueno. La ultima vez pide y me envio uno bueno y el otro de los duros. Aunque no son pegajoso funcionan bien, tambien :) Eso es lo malo de comprar en Ebay. :( No siempre tiene el mismo producto. Suerte! Si tienes Instagram me puedes encontrar ahi tambien :) Happy Stamping!
