Skin off your nail stencil and viola! Now you have an adorable pattern on your boom. The stencils can be reused, simply I only would reuse them if I was using the aforementioned color again. Otherwise, I would just make a bunch and cut them out at the same time.

Apply your favorite top coat and you lot are done! These nails are sure to impress any oversupply. Have fun experimenting with designs and different shaped punches to further customize your manicure!
