The video demonstrates a simple technique in nail printing that helps to reduce the size of the designs. The technique involves pushing the head of the press apart and then pushing it back in again to reduce the size of the pattern. If you only need to reduce the width, you just need to pull the sides apart. This is particularly useful for symmetrical patterns. The method can be used for flowers, polka dots or Indian patterns. The technique can also be used to adjust the length of the pattern. It is important to use suitable print heads for this method.
