Comments about Essence Nail Art Stampy Set:
Was cheap so bought it, just to try it out.
Heard a lot of story, good and bad.
Like it wont work, wont stick, really hard to do.
But i kinda loved it, really easy to apply.
Really easy on use.
But you really need a thick polish, best is the special stamp polish, and the once from Essence are cheap...
So why not !
Comments about Essence Nail Art Stampy Set:
OK, you need to read the reviews before you use this. It's very important that you use a thicker nail polish for your designs. Anything too thin will not work and you will be disappointed. You can even get special stamping polish but if you look around the net you can find cheaper polishes you can buy anywhere that work with the plates.
It does take a few practice rounds to do it perfectly, so practice! I agree with the other reviewers who say to use a credit card instead of their scraper, it sucks. When you scrape, make sure you don't scrape too hard or too soft, this is why you have to experiment until you get it just right. It's so fun to have these little designs once you get the hang of it!

Comments about Essence Nail Art Stampy Set:
So I see the commercial on tv, I love the way this thing looks, so I run out a few days later (when i got the time),... not worth it. First of all,when you stamp it on, it comes out soooo lightly, and barely like the design it is suppose to be, it looks lke a 2 year old drew it on with a pencil. 2nd of all, the scraper is completely useless. I try to scrape of the exess nail polish and all it does is take it and smear it on the rest of the plate, leaving barely any nail polish to fill up the design. Next I tried a credit card, didnt work either. Must be the consistancy of the nail polish. So, now I got this stupid looking, light, barely veiwable, messy, design on my finger and I decide to wear it just for a little bit, because I need to run some erins. I come back and the design completely chips off leaving the solid nail polish color under it showing. Very cheap, and, well, no wonder why it is about 3 bucks.

Comments about Essence Nail Art Stampy Set:
My sister had seen a Konad advertisement prior to purchasing this, and I was skeptical to believe it would actually work. Luckily she had found this at the local Ulta store and purchased it right away and we spent hours testing it out! It really is a great product and very easy to do once you get the hang of it. I use this probably once a week when I freshen up my nail polish and I am always referring others to purchase this.
Definitely a must-have item and I would highly recommend it to everyone. My neice has even purchased it for herself, she is only 8 years old and has no problem using it.
Best nail polishes to use for stamping would be any polish that's a little heavier/thicker. It will transfer over more smoothly and show up the true color. If you use a light/thin polish, it tends to turn out opaque with just the tint of color.

Comments about Essence Nail Art Stampy Set:
According to another reviewer, I am too stupid to use this. I tried this following the package directions, and the scrapper just scratched the plate, failed to remove excess polish. After watching a couple videos of konad nail stamping, I had the theory down... I tried a bunch of polish and eventually found one that sort of worked. The design isn't very dark. And the scrapper is useless, use a card instead. So you need to have the special polish before this works. At least it was a cheap experiment.

I followed the instructions, but no did this product work
Comments about Essence Nail Art Stampy Set:
Just bought this item, but I´ve been using a Konad kit for several weeks. You can beat the [$] price tag! The stamper and disk are great, but the scraper is junk. It didn´t take off enough polish and it scratched my disk. The image transfers great when I use an old store card (like a CC). You do have to play around with polish to figure out which formulas work best- it won´t work with anything too runny or glittery.

Comments about Essence Nail Art Stampy Set:
It doesn't work like I thought it would. The polish goes on so light that you can hardly see it. And it's too much work. I'd rather the stick-on decals.
