I picked up this nail stamping kit when I went to Vegas a few years ago. There are different kits available but they all consist of a stamper, scraper and nail plates which have several designs on them. You apply the nail varnish onto the plate, scrape away the excess and use the stamp to pick up the design off the plate. All in all, I'm a BIG fan of KONAD and I still use it years later. Its really handy that you can always buy new plates with new designs when you get bored of the ones you have! Although I bought this in America, they have a UK website http://www.konad.co.uk and also if you search for KONAD on Amazon they usually have cheaper plates/gift sets
PROS ✓
- There are different plates with various designs to suit different styles. They have a range of small, whole nail and french tip designs too!
- It's pretty simple to use and the end result is very professional! A lot of the designs are hard to achieve when using nail brushes.
- Because the design is stamped onto your nail, it doesn't chip or fade easily and generally lasts a long time!
CONS ✘
- The set was fairly expensive - saying that I've definitely made my money's worth out of it especially as it can be used over and over! Plates are available on Amazon from around £3 which isn't too bad at all!
- Some intricate designs don't always stamp well but a good tip is to thoroughly remove the nail polish of the plate before each application.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend KONAD to everyone! I'll most likely be using it in future nail tutorials so watch this space!
