just as good as konador better [SEP] i got my nail plates and they are great i have a few of the name brand konad nail art plates and they are exactly the same but better they have more designs per plate and they have a lot of different designs to choose from they work just as well as the konad platesi would suggest still using the konad special polish because like the konad plates a lot of regular store polishes do not work so well with the stamper metallic nail colors of any brand work well also you can make your nail polish thicker by placing it in the fridge so that will also help with getting the image to transferif you have wide nail beds you will have to improvise on the full nail designs because they are not as wide as the konad plate versions i only have issues with my thumb and i have fixed it by just putting polish on half the stamp and doing the part that is not covered with the first stampalso the edges of the plates are kind of sharp but you could probably take a metal file or dremel and file around the discs if it bothered you or you were concerned about it they are not too bad and since i just set mine on a paper towel i do not notice except when i am putting it awaythey all come with a protective wrapping on them so make sure you remove it before trying to stamp it is plastic and i just used my nails to get it to come up off the plate for stampingthe price is amazing and the amount of stamp designs you get is awesome it is definitely worth the money
