Blimey not sure how they make any money on those prices! I got told off by Konad for my prices and they are not as low as these!

I found them through a search on google and it said they had free delivery but I can't see any information on delivery on their website, I'm not sure if I should trust them

I was just looking at the site... I find it kind of worrying that their pictures of the plates seem to be from various sources. I see some from konad, some with no water mark and some off another a blog!?!?

The picture below is on this page of the site: Beauty Shop 4U

Seems the pic was taken from this blog: Polish and Powder

I would not buy from them unless I found really positive reviews or geeks spoke up for them. I think a reputable site would have their own pictures or use konad promotional pictures.

Hi Kayleigh,

These look really nice. Which plate did the design come from and did you use black polish or gel?

I have been working so hard on getting the stamp to transfer that I am now working on my placement tooOne day maybe? lol

I believe (and im sure Bry Will agree or correct me) that the demo plates are ones that are recommended for the use in salons as its less fidly than all the little plates and easier for the client to look at the designs x

There is no reason why you can't use a demo plate. As the lovely Jo points out they are more tricky to use because the images are close together; to answer your question straight yes you can stamp straight from them.

if you wanted something to show the designs the Image plate Book is the best item.

Hmmm feel like i have gone round the houses, am I talking any sense LOL :lick:

That's fab thanks! I know what I'm asking for for christmas hehe. I don't mind them being close together. The polish goes everywhere anyway, just clean it up well lol x

Just received my plates today, I must say I'm in love!!! I'm rubbish at nail art and now I look a pro, BUT..... I put the base colour on and then used konad polish on with the stamp great, left it to dry,(touch dry) and when I apply a top coat you can see it smudging, got round it on the other fingers by not applying as much pressure, am I not allowing it to dry enough?? How long do you allow to dry?

It should be quite instant. The art is floating the top coat over and not brushing it on if that makes sense?

I second that .also try not to go back over the stamp once tout have floated it over once
