 Great deal on a great product Dec 11, 2010
By Amazon Mom
"Professional Mom"
I love these! They are high quality, and the image selection is awesome. There's even a couple of images for each major holiday, which is a bonus because now I don't need any holiday plates. I would suggest ignoring the negative review on this product which says the plates are scratched and the images are not deep enough to produce a stamped picture. The plates have a fine plastic cover on them that needs to be peeled off prior to the first use. And indeed the plastic cover does make the plates look scratched up, and the plates are impossible to use without removing that cover. Once the plastic is peeled off, you'll find a mirror finish plate underneath with high quality images that work wonderfully.
Bottom line, they work just as well as the name brand plates, with much less investment. Highly recommended!

 It's A Love Hate Relationship Dec 20, 2010
By cnc7
I have a love hate relationship with these plates. I love them because they do their job perfectly. The nail stamp comes out clear and detailed on your nails. Also these plates fit nicely into the Konad plate holder, if you already have one. I must admit I was a bit worried about that. Oh and the designs are amazing. You get a wide variety of designs from French to full nail to even some holiday designs.
The reason why I hate them is because practically every time I use these I end up slicing my fingers on them. The plates are thin and sharp, so be extra careful when handling them, especially when you first take off that dreaded plastic coating that has no desire to come off nicely. Patience is needed here!
Also to note these plates where so thin and sharp they ripped the original packaging. So when they arrived they were scattered throughout the box. Luckily they were all accounted for except I ended up with a duplicate plate. Normally I wouldn't mind but this is plate #BM07 the one with the weed leaf. Clearly this design is not my cup of tea.

Tiny hands? You better have em! Dec 26, 2010
By aaea
I have been looking for Konad ever since my friend purchased them a year ago. I finally bought them from the online site and BOY did they COST ALOT. The plates are almost $7 each! Crazy? Overall, it's a great product! But there is only ONE FATAL, AND I MEAN FATAL, FLAW. Just keep in mind, SIZE MATTERS.
Pros:
-Awesome variety. Many types of designs for different occassions, seasons, holidays, ect. Whatever you need.
-Great price! Can't beat this anywhere else. (Trust me I looked).
-Designs come out crisp and clean. Haven't had an issue with the images yet. Awesome quality for the price.
-I frikkin love it!
Cons:
-OK HERE IS THE FATAL FLAW. I'm asian (not to be racist) and have VERY small hands and my fingernails are generally short. My hands are smaller then my neighbor's 8 year old son. TINY. And the plates that have the full designs (such as the stripes, stars, ect)dont completely cover my nails. Unlike the konad designs (with room for no error), dont expect the whole image to cover/fit on your nails. Once you try to compeltely cover it, it looks terrible. Just killed it for me...
-Once again with my hands, TINY. French tips are diffacult to use. Pretty small size. It's workable for me but...I expect others to struggle.
-The plates are pretty thin compared to their Konad counterparts, be careful. I actually cut myself once. The edges are sharp and thin...think razor. Take caution when you first remove the plastic covers and when in use. ESPECIALLY around children.

 dissapointed Dec 15, 2010
By nailartista
not good!!! the images are not sharp when stamped, however the edges on each disc are sharp enough to cut your finger, the protectant film on each disc is SO difficult and annoying to remove, the images which should cover a whole nail (like the zebra)are so small you can only use it on a pinky finger-not worth it people!

Very nice!!! Feb 02, 2012
By Cyooties
I ordered these before reading the reviews. After reading the reviews I was worried about the quality of these plates. I tried them out, and I'm quite pleased with them.
1) Yes, getting the protective blue film off is not the easiest thing in the world, but with patience it does come off. Don't just tear at it. Peel it up from the edge carefully. Once you have enough to get a grip on, peel it off the rest slowly. It will come off.
2) One of the other reviewers went commented about how she had tiny hands and how the whole nail designs were just too small to cover her whole finger nails. I have regular sized hands and naturally long nails. Most of the whole nail designs are plenty big to cover my nails. Only some of them are too short to cover end to end on my nails. My longest nails are about 3/4 inch long right now.
3) As some other reviewers have stated, the edges are SHARP. After comparing the SHANY plates to my Konad plates, it isn't because the SHANY plates are any thinner. The problem is that the edges of each plate were never buffed smooth after they were punched out of the sheet of metal. I think I'm going to "fix" this by putting a large label on the back and cutting around the edge of the plate. That should cover the sharp edges and prevent any slicing of fingers.
A couple other notes. I think these are a great value for the money. Lots of nice designs. I'm really liking the french manicure designs. MUCH less expensive than the Konad plates. The edges are sharp enough that without the blue film on the plates, I don't want to stack the plates as I'm afraid the sharp edges of the plate on top will scratch the surface of the plate below.
