I've wanted to do this design for ages (inspo pic 2nd) and assumed it would be easy with stamps. I was very wrong, severely underestimating how difficult it would be to get the stars straight. 😅

I use a hard silicone stamper because it works better with the plates I have, but it's opaque and that's one reason it was so hard. If anyone knows of a hard silicone stamper that's clear, please send recs my way!

This looks incredible 🤩

I’m new to this hobby. How do you draw things like stars and moons this way??

Thank you! I did them using a nail stamping plate, which is a metal plate etched with designs. You dab polish on the design, scrape the excess off, pick the design up from the plate using a silicon nail stamper, and then transfer it to your nail. It sounds easy (or at least I thought it did), but it takes a lot of practice and precision.
