I've decided that I'll never get down to my original weight, and I'm OK with that--After all, 8 pounds 2 oz. is just not realistic.

OMG that would be perfect for my MIL! She's an owl lover!

I tried to stamp over my last mani and messed it up so...
Revlon Twinkled Pink (old) stamped with Milani Ms. Milani with konad m60. Ms. Milani worked really well to stamp with. I had to add a french tip because the image is too small for my thumb. This manicure tests my girly limits being both pink and lacy. It got marred a bit before it dried.

Konad plate mini review- If you want full images for nail plates you may want to get plates with large images (I forget which brand and set has this, check amazon). I have smallish fingers (ring size 5 1/2) and my nails are fairly short ATM. The konad images are wide enough for all nails but my thumb. But they aren't long enough for my thumb or some of my fingers when my nails are longer. Double stamping is more dificult to line up then it seems like it should be. In the case of my thumb it would take 4 stamps to completely cover the nail. The image I used isn't a repeat pattern, so it doesn't really work to double stamp. I've found it is best to line up the image with the cuticle and do the second stamp on the tip. If you do the first stamp lining up with the tip, the second stamp doesn't want to stamp into the cuticle area because of the angle of the stamper. (hard to explain, but trust me)
These images are a little bigger then my salon express set. The etching in the Konad is done better, the details look better, and it is easier to use then the Salon Express.

Good review for the Konad. I have big hands, 9 1/2 ring size, so I guess the small ones are out.

The Bundle Monster plates are way cheaper, and work great for me and my wide nails. I've never used Konad, but I've read the images are smaller.

They look like dupes to me. I guess great minds think alike. I wish I had RCC's ducky too.

info on stamping image size, if anyone is interested
According to beginning of this video they are the same size. The newer Bundle monster plates are wider then the old set. In the video she says they are about 1/2 inch wide. My thumb is closer to 3/4 then 1/2 inch wide. I measured in millimeters before ordering the Konad to be sure they were wide enough. Either the measurements I read online were wrong or I can't measure. *most likely it's me*

The larger ones I was thinking of were the Cheeky ones. Video compares Cheeky size to konad at the 4 minute mark.

They are about 1/2 cm longer (although the curved shape will mean not all of the extra length counts) and just under 1/2 cm wider. I don't like the idea of stamping from a huge plate. I prefer to put a circle sized plate on a napkin and scrape off the excess polish onto the napkin. The big sheet of paper sized plate seems like it would be a big ole mess.

Me too. My more high-quality polishes don't peel as easily, but the cheap stuff loves to be peeled off. I started painting my nails so I would stop biting them, but now peeling off the polish has replaced biting my nails.

Nallia, those are great! See now, I could wear those colors, just not the pinky nail pink and the yellow (other than for accents).
