8pcs Nail Stamp Plates + Nail Stamper with Scraper+ 1 Pcs storage bag Nails Art Stamping Plate Scraper Stamper Set Leaves Flowers Animal Template Image (V17-24)

This set is such an excellent value! I was about to purchase the nail plate book for $4, as I ran out of slots for each of my stamps in my current books, & I wanted to separate them out by theme anyhow. I felt $4 was already a decent value for the book (in the past I’ve paid either $5-6 per book), so I figured for just $6 more than the cost of the book, I’d just order this set instead, as the plates were different from the ones I already owned, & I can always use another stamper. The books easily fit 20 plates like these (& still close on the tighter snap), but may not fit as many if they have the plastic backing (like maniology). If you have the smaller, square stamps (mine are finger angel brand), you can fit two stamps in each pocket. For those complaining about the back of the plates being really sharp, I highly recommend using a small sanding block, piece of sand paper, buffing block (or even nail file in a pinch), & buffing off the sharp edges. I do this before removing the blue plastic film & I’ve never been cut by my plates ever. See last photo for a pic of my foam stamping block (purchased at Home Depot). Another thing many people complain about is that the stamper doesn’t pick up the designs well. I sort of accidentally primed my stamper by doing chrome stamping, & after removing the chrome my stamper was slightly foggy, but it picks up all kinds of polish now without issues. When it comes to silicone stamper care, I recommend using a lint roller to remove polish from your stamper, & to NEVER use acetone, as it’ll destroy your stamper. When stamping, gently roll your stamper over the plate, using a super light touch (it takes a bit of finesse, but once you get it, it’s so fun…I promise!), & then you can roll, or push your stamper down on the nail (slow & steady wins the race!). If you don’t stamp the nail quickly after picking up the image, you’ll want to stamp it on the inhibition layer of gel polish, on a slightly under cured gel top coat (like if you were going to apply chrome), or on a special sticky coat polish for stamping if you’re not doing gel polish - if not, the design won’t stick to the nail. To clean your plate, be sure to use 100% acetone (not regular polish remover), & most people recommend wiping your plates down with acetone before using it for the first time, as there may be an oily substance on your plates. I was able to pick up designs with these stamps with regular polish (see pics of the polish), & also did some tests with a stamping polish…a heads up, some of the designs done with the turquoise stamping polish came from stamping plates of a different brand, but most were these plates. The set of nails I did used a different set of stamps, but gives you an idea of different things you can do when stamping…I think stamping looks really cool over cateye, personally! ✨ Hope this info helps anyone stamp better or avoid an injury from a sharp plate…if it was helpful to you, please hit that “helpful” button. Thanks! 😊 UPDATE: these stamps are just so good! One of my favorite plates (if not my absolute favorite plate of all that I own) comes from this collection (see 2nd & 3rd to last pics plate & manicure created with it). The images on this plate are just so beautiful & can be used in so many ways! It’s easy to cover longer nails with it, as it’s basically a full plate design. I did the stamping on those nails with regular polish too, & it worked so beautifully! I’ve found that all the stamps I’ve used had well etched designs & I was able to get good pickup. If you know how to stamp (it took me a moment & a really well primed stamper to get into it), you’ll love these plates. 💯👍❤️

I liked how pretty the designs are .I didn't like how some of the detail didn't come off.

It is a total scam

A lot of patterns in the set, but, the pattern cavity is minimal and doesn’t make a good transferable pattern, with any kind of nail polish.

The non clear stamper will pick up the pattern but won't apply it and the clear one will only pick up some polishes, but it's a smudged mess. I know it's not me bc I bought another one and have no issues with that one. Spend the extra $$ and buy from a reputable store.

Very very hard to use.

I think these are desent stamping plates

I have 11 Maniology plates in the storage case which should hold 20 and can just barely snap the case shut. If you are purchasing this to have a "usable" case, pass this bundle by.....
