a single coat.

 and scrape excessive polish off quickly and
strongly from inside to outside

immediately, press the stamp with
 a gentle rolling motion to pick up the design

FEW TIPS:

• Clean stamp, scraper and plate with acetone based remover, it may not work if you use non-acetone based remover.
• When applying special polish to image plate, do it in one thick stroke do not apply multiple thin strokes as the polish on image plate would dried up by the time you finish.
• When scraping off excess polish from image plate hold scraper at an approximate 30 to 60 degree angle with KONAD word facing the direction you are scraping and do it in a single stroke. 
• After scraping use stamp to pick up the design from image plate by stamping on plate with a little force and in one action do not stamp multiple times. Do this immediately after scraping as the polish on image plate is very thin after scraping and will dry up very quickly.
• After picking up the image, you can now take some time to position and stamp on your nails.
• For longer lasting image, apply a base coat or nail colour before stamping any design on nails.

Hope I was successful in helping you guys. let me know if any help required.

P.S. : a lot of patience and a little practice is required to get the perfect stamping :) & yes stay tuned another nail art tutorial coming up..
