Panda Review: Konad Stamp

This is my first product review post. (yay) and no, i am not being paid/sponsored to write this. maybe in the future? XD teehee.

so anyway. 
i received a Konad set from my friend on Christmas. before i continue blabbering. maybe some of you wonder..  what's konad? is it some kind of snacks? the answer is (sadly) no.

KONAD Stamping Nail Art is a new nail-imprinting kit that lets you put designs by stamping pre-designed images on your nails in minutes.

so basically its a tool to make your nails look pretty, without visiting a nail salon that would cost a lot. it's simple and easy!

now you know what konad is, lets just continue.
i received the stamper and a S10 plate from my friend. but i haven't use it cos i don't have the special polish.
at first i thought i could only use konad special polish to transfer the picture into my nails, but turns out you can use any polish brand, as long as it's opaque enough, otherwise the image would be too sheer.
but anyway i still bought a few konad special polishes from this website called houseofkonad, just the basic color like black and white cos they can be combined with any color, and the light bronze.
i also bought these 2 image plates from the same website:

here's a tutorial how to use konad stamp. credit to OhSoPrettyFulz



and so this is the result of my experiment today. :)
i can haz pretty nails

things i use:
  • konad stamp
  • scraper. (i use cards that i dont use anymore as a scraper, credit card is perfect for this imo. cos the konad scraper scratches my plate T_T)
  • s06 Plate
  • Pokari dark purple nail polish (i use the cheap ones lol.)
  • unbranded silver polish 
  • konad light bronze special polish.

so here's what i thought:
pros:
easy to use
it looks awesome

cons:
special polishes are a little bit pricey (30k IDR/5ml)
scraper made of metal. it scratches image plate. T_T
can get a little bit messy

but overall, i love this product! :) might purchase another plate in the future.
