These artists get super creative with nail stamping, color blending, and other techniques used for creating elaborate designs, like this ombre flower from @polishpixie92.
Though the designs look complicated to create, the nail stamping process is pretty simple. Artists swipe nail polish over a metal stamping plate etched with designs, and then use a silicone stamper to pick up the polish caught in the etched recesses of the plate. Then they use polish to color in the design on the stamper and press it onto the nail. Lots of artists combine stamping with other nail art techniques like marbling or ombré painting.

Much like ASMR videos, watching artists work with nail stamps just getsto me. I can't quite put a finger on it -- unlike typical ASMR videos, which are often satisfying because of the sounds they produce, watching the stamping process unfold is strictly visual. It's like someone scratching a part of my brain that I didn't know itched.
Plus, the finished product is always gorgeous.

There's something almost hypnotic about watching the stamper pick up the design. Would I go through all of the effort of buying these products, learning to use them, and doing this for all ten of my nails? Probably not. But will I keep watching these nail stamping videos? Absolutely.
