I was doubtful any little kit worth £29.99 could actually do what it says on the tin as far as nail art was concerned. I was very surprised.
Prior to getting this for Chrismas, I did a little online research, watched the Youtube videos showing how it worked, and even though it looked easy, I was still doubtful it could really work as well as the videos claimed it did.
When it arrived I was shocked that the box is so tiny. It's about the size of a pencil case and contains most of the items you need to get started in creating really professional looking nail art.
You take a metal plate (there are four provided) and dab a little of the special nail polish (and it has to be their brand special polish to work) and scrape over the plate with a special little scraper. A special little rubber stamp is pushed onto the pattern you've chosen after you've scraped away the excess and you gently apply this to your nail in a rolling motion - it goes on kind of like a very intricate tiny sticker.
It's actually alot easier than even I can make this sound. After a couple of practice runs, I was stamping out patterns onto my nail that looked so professional people were asking me if I'd been to a nail salon.
One of the best parts of this kit is not only does it come with 28 different designs you can use on your nails, but also you can buy additional patterns and nail polishes, additional stampers and scrapers, a holder for the plates, and other such accessories.
Like every product, Konad has it's draw backs. One of them is you have to act very fast to get the best results (the polish dries quickly). Also, you have to clean the plate, the stamper, AND the scraper after each and every use - I don't mean after completing your hands, I mean after completing each and every fingernail.
Sadly, the kit doesn't supply any nail polish remover OR cotton, cotton buds or wipes to clean the plates, scraper and pad - if you're going to buy this, make sure you have both in good supply, because it does get messy cleaning up after each use and you need plenty to clean up with. That's really my only gripe with this kit.
If you love doing your nails alot and are interested in nail art, you really need to go for this kit, it does it all for you and will save you alot of time and effort (and be especially great for people who lack natural skill in small detail nail art themselves).
It's fun, will save you alot of money in going to nail salons!!!
