Nail Art Stamping Kit- 10 Manicure Plate Set with Polish Stamper and Scraper by Salon Designs

I started out trying to use the As Seen on TV nail stamping kit and could never get it to work. So I was a little hesitant on purchasing this item ( 30-piece nail stamping kit) but I am so happy I purchase this. it is a great product and it is the only stamping kit that I have found (other than konad which is pretty expensive) that works flawlessly. It arrived on time and the packaging was good and well-protected. The only bad things I have to say about this product are: 1.The scraper that this kit comes with does scratch the plates so I recommend using a old credit card or a card that you are no longer using to scrap the nail polish off instead of the scraper. 2.The edges of the plates themselves are very sharp. I cut myself just trying to remove the blue protective film that is on the plate. So be very careful when handling and if you are purchasing this item for a child (I purchased this for my nine-year-old niece but of course I tested them first) I would recommend purchasing a set of protective sleeves (can be found on Amazon as well) so your little ones don't hurt themselves. 3.the plates I received had scratches all over them and I was worried that the images on the plates would be affected by the scratches but after taking the blue film off I found that the scratches that were on the plates were superficial and did not affect the design at all. the Stamper itself works great the only thing I did 2 it was cleaned it off with acetone before using it. The designs are amazing. I'm not sure if each set comes with different plates in them but the plates I received have some of the following designs on them: flowers and hearts (great for Valentine's Day), snowflakes and presents (great for Christmas), yin yang, dragon's, and butterflies, just to name a few But there are so many more and each stamping plate has 6 - 7 designs on it. This product is a must-have for all nail fanatics and I still can't believe that I got 30 plates for $13. It is a great deal and I highly recommend purchasing this I promise you won't be disappointed. I myself plan on purchasing the 100-piece stamping kit ASAP.

These are great. I got 2 sets for my two girls. The first was the 10 plate and the other was the 30 plate set. I split them up so they both had 20. There were only about 8 duplicates throughout the entire 40, which worked out fine since I was splitting between two girls. I agree with other users that the scraper that comes with the kit is pretty useless. I pulled out two old credit cards from about 8 years ago (I have no idea why I still had these!) and use those instead. They're really easy to scrape with. I also put each plate in the holders that I purchased separately,recommended by another user (PUEEN Nail Stamp Plate Case Holder), and put them in their Christmas stockings. I tried them out with the girls Christmas day and we had a ball. The girls are 9 and 11 so their fingers and nails are a bit small for these size stamps. There are a few that will fit on their tiny fingernails, but mostly their for fully grown hands. I can use everyone of the stamps on my fingernails. It helps that I actually have long nails too. They don't. I'm sure they'll get more use out of them as they reach their teen years and quit biting their nails! Shipping was fast, quality is really good for the price. Watch the you tube videos to get a good technique down. I don't ever paint my fingernails and if I can do it, anyone can. You just have to watch how it's done before you decide it doesn't work. You tube is a great source for that.

This set is difficult to give a whole star rating when it's composed of three different parts. However, I am gonna give individual stars in this review. The stamper is great. I would definitely buy another one. Once I'm able to pick up the pattern, I have no problem transferring it and when I cannot pick up the pattern is almost never the stamper's fault. I think the size of the stamper is decent and normal and pretty clean. The scraper is garbage. I'm sorry but it is. It is like the sponge applicators in the drug store eye shadow palettes that you know you're not gonna use but the companies include it any way. I threw it away and use an old non working credit card instead. The stamp plates are a mixture. Some of them are worthless some of them are good so it is challenging to judge them as a whole. One thing is for sure. I would probably not buy this set. I said it is ok because some of the stamp plates are good and the designs are cute and the stamper it's great but all together is not worth it. I do not recommend it.

This was a Christmas present from my mom. She tried her hardest to buy me something good and when I opened it up i was super excited but when I tried to use it, the stamping plates were all scraped. It looked like they had been used before. I let that go in the beginning but then I tried the real thing with the nail polish, it just didn't work at all! I scraped the image like the directions said, but it scraped too much off so when I tried to stamp, no nail polish got picked up with the stamper. I tried over and over. I watched videos on the internet to try to learn, but nothing worked. This was the most disappointing item I've EVER gotten from Amazon! This product is really advertised falsely. Warning -- do not buy this!! It is very very disappointing.

So, After reading all of the reviews I took the plunge and got this set but mostly for the stamping plates. Because I did read the reviews I was not disappointed and they were exactly as I had expected. Since this is a review of this item let me first start out saying that as all the other reviews state: The Konad Stamping tool is much more superior. Softer Rubber tip so the polish glides over the nail much smoother, plus both ends of the tool are stamp pads giving you a small and a large stamp to work with. With that being said... The plates themselves: Of the 30 included: 10 of them were duplicates 5 were chipped on the edges causing cut fingers. But using an overly rough piece of sand paper I was able to get rid of the sharp parts then coated those edges with clear polish. They don’t look so pretty any more but they still work. Other than that they are what they are supposed to be. The scraping tool: Chipped and useless Again, as with other reviews, a debit/credit or gift card works much better. Stamping tool: One size stamping end Hard and stiff rubber, makes it hard to press or roll over your nail since there is no give Overall: Good price for the Design Template Plates – Even if 1/3 of them were duplicates. Making them $0.65 apiece when you take $12.99 / 20 (Less the duplicates) But if you think about it, the duplicates do make for a nice give away gift to my soon to be 13 year old niece who loves to play with mine when she comes over. The Stamping tool was useless and it is worth the extra money to buy the Konad Stamping tool. Just toss the scraping tool. So, because I did read the reviews I was not overly disappointed. I would recommend this to others as long as they knew what to expect. It does get 4 stars because I do like the Design Template Plates (That is what the 4 stars say, 3 is the item is okay but again I do like it) – Even if 1/3 of them were duplicates. Good luck and have fun with your new kit if you buy it. Have a good day. T~

I discovered these kits while searching Amazon for something else. I really did not think this would work and be that easy. But it works very well! The stamper itself did not work at all. I took the advice from another customer and bought the Konad stamper that is double sided. It works well with these plates. You should watch some videos on how to stamp prior to using these. You will see how easy it is. Do not be intimidated by this at all. Anyone with a steady hand, creativity, and some time can do this! I did not buy the expensive polish meant for stamping. I used what I have. You will learn which polishes work and which ones do not work. Practice with paper first and you will be ready to go! I am so glad I found these. My nails on the first try look like they were done professionally. I can't believe that I could make them look so great! Each plate has several designs on it. I liked this so much that I bought more for Christmas presents.

I have to say that for the price I am extremely pleased with this set. I have only found a couple, maybe 3-4, designs out of all of them that didn't transfer very well because they were not etched that deep. For such a cheap price this was a fantastic way to try stamping to see if I liked it. I do a lot with my nails and I really like the stamping. I used an old debit card for a scraper and I did find this worked perfectly. I had no issues with the stamper itself, its works fantastic. I did take it off and put a little piece of cotton in to make the rubber stick up a bit higher so I don't have to worry about the edge when rolling on my stamp. I have recommended this to several friends who were impressed with my nails and I know that one of them has bought it for their daughter to try stamping as well because the price is so reasonable. I will also be buying this as gifts for some young ladies I know that will want to try it for themselves, that way I don't have to share mine!

Yes, I took off the blue plastic. The etching on these isn't very deep, and when scraping off the excess polish half the time the card also scrapes off the polish in the etching. The scraper that came with it is useless, I used a gift card that works on other plates just fine. About one design on each wheel was well enough etched to get a good image. The rest just were no good. Save your money, buy something better quality. Two stars because SOME worked.
