Salon Express Nail Art Stamping Kit Unboxing & Review

[nadjabufford2010]

i had



[flirt2721]

Effie Trinket nails by the way love the video and the Effie trinket nail tutorial you have up on your channel.

[PeacedOut98]

What Store can you by konad stamping like in the video? thanks:-)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@PeacedOut98 konad is mostly available online - I go over a few of the sites in part 1 of my FAQ =)

[DatGurlNyaa]

doesnt konad cum with more stencils?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@DatGurlNyaa it depends which set you buy - & plates are also sold separately =)

[TiffanyD22713]

Just tried it n I found that using the scraper with the logo facing AWAY from you works the best however I felt like I had to layer a thick coat of polish on the plate.

[sajemoi]

No wonder. I bought this today and tried it bit it didn't work. O forgot to take off the plastic.

[allyn930]

Which one do u like better? Konad or this

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@allyn930 I prefer Konad =)

[Autumnmybaby4677]

And for the scraper, the side with the logo works a lot better!

[Autumnmybaby4677]

I got the same one at Giant Eagle, and my plates have the backing, and also when I first used it I didn't know the blue thing came off lol! :)

[BrainOfsteel]

I would love to buy SE21 and SE22 alone, but it seems that I have to buy the whole set if I want those plates... Does anyone know if someone sells their SE plates alone somewhere? I would love to know ^^ (Sorry if my english is kind of bad)

[CuteKat111]

I got this too and it was a waste of time and money. You have to apply nail polish, scrape, and try to apply to your nail more than once before it looks ok.

[candycakes9089]

GO TARGET!!!!!! My dad is the manager

[MsDaddyzgirl09]

your supposed to scrape it fast...........just saying :) and i have the konad too !!!!

[Abbie7Rae]

Why is she so miserable?

[Megs5698]

where do you keep all your nail poishes? i store mine upight in a shoebox, and i want to move them on shelves or something, and i was just wondering what you do(: thank you.

(also, i got this kit for christmas, and i think it works pretty well, i have done a few manicures with it on other people, and they were really impressed! haha)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Megs5698 I have 3 Helmer units from Ikea, as well as a few plastic shoeboxes =) there are some pics on my blog

[XoXCookieMonster18]

I just got this, and tried it, and couldn't get it to work.

I couldn't get the image to transfer to the stamper.

And YES, I DID remove the plastic!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@XoXCookieMonster18 some people recommend roughing up the stamper with a nail file, although I haven't tried it myself =)

[Myhalobaby]

Where did you buy the Konad one??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Myhalobaby at the state fair =)

[misshopiedopey]

the konad scrapper scratches :/

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@misshopiedopey any metal scraper will - that's why I mentioned the credit card option =)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@misshopiedopey I like them long - if you like short nails, keep your own short, but telling someone to cut their nails is like telling someone to cut their hair - it's personal preference & no one else's business =P so if you don't like then don't look

[darkwoman80]

thank you so much. I didn't know to remove the plastic covering. i thought it didn't work or am doing it wrong. LOL. I got mine from Bed bath and Beyond

[TropicalBeauty1]

LMAO my sister in law gave it to my daughter said it did not work, when I looked at it, she did not take the plastic off. 

[xStarKandiex]

Hmm I didnt get to check my sallys but I did find another one by Flirt. comes with 1plate but i bought the other 2. && I have to say it works. but the design doesnt get on the stamper well! I wanted to try it because there awesome haah!.

[InsaneLogicity]

can you do comparasins on bundle monster plates and konad plates to see which on is better

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@InsaneLogicity it really depends what designs you want - I have lots of pics of both on my blog =)

[stangsydney11]

I have this

[TheProudLisa]

It cratches à lot when you use scrapers my advise is use àn old creditcard IT works great and doesnt damage you image plate -3

[TheProudLisa]

IT scratshes a lot if you use schrap

[InsaneLogicity]

where did you get your konad stuff

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@InsaneLogicity at the state fair =) I go over some of the websites that sell it in part 1 of my FAQ

[jmay219]

can u do a tutorial on how your nails are in the video

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jmay219 I don't usually do tutorials for my stamped manicures, but I will be going over full nail designs in part 4 of the FAQ =)

[VMsharks]

Part 2 (: sorry my parents cant really aford konad right now... I just wanna see more comparisons and see if its worth spending my money  Thanks(: xoxo

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@VMsharks I do some more comparisons in part 2 of my FAQ & of course there a pics of manicures I've done with the different brands on my blog =)

[InsaneLogicity]

do other comparasins please



[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@InsaneLogicity I do a few others in part 2 of my FAQ =)

[beautyroxs98]

Cn u plz plz plz try thr zebra one plzzzz

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@beautyroxs98 honestly I don't know if I'll ever use this one - the konad one is much better sized for my nails & I've used it several times =) there are pics on my blog

[cutenails1920]

i did this and cut myself 4 times on the plates

[TheSunshine240]

Hello, how much was the salon express stamping kit please answer:)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@TheSunshine240 under $10 =)

[jmay219]

@TheSunshine240 there like $9.99 at my local sally's

[raiiniie]

yaaaay i found this set at ross for $6.99!!

[LPNNEWCOMB]

i love it it is so cool

[aandjdusik]

Is there any way you could show how using "any polish" works. I bought this at x-mas and have tried using regular polish without much luck. Hoping maybe you have found some regular polish that works for those of us that don't have special stamping polish. Thanks!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@aandjdusik I do some regular polish comparisons in part 2 of my FAQ =)

[aandjdusik]

@SimpleLittlePleasues oh I can't seem to find a part to for this....only the konad faq. Sorry...I'm probably not looking well enough....could you link it for me?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@aandjdusik that is the one I mean - I go over more brands than just Konad in them =)

[sheswaggaright]

i found it very hard to do i but you know what your doing

[allyn930]

So I was looking and the Konad scrapper like damaged the plate... did it? Like u can see where you scrapped.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@allyn930 yes, all metal scrapers will leave some scratches - thats why some people use a credit card =)

[CosmeticswithNautica]

lol no wonder mine did'nt work i didnt take the blue tape piece offf lol

[peacepolish]

id like to see the long nail deigns like the zebra so yea! thnx!

[904Jasmine]

I feel sooo stupid. I tried stamping with the blue rap still on the plate... Oops :)

[MegaFudge01]

Does it come with the stamper you could make nail tips?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MegaFudge01 yes, the stamper is included =)

[sassafrass279]

I am debating on wether to get this or not. If I use a old credit card or something wold that work better than the scrapper it comes with ?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@sassafrass279 I think so, but I think some of the scrapers that come with it are better than others due to poor QC =)

[magicalgal77]

@sassafrass279

the scraper is the same exact scraper you would use to take off city stickers from your car window, so you could use that. There is a competitor at there which is almost the same like this one called NAIL ART, the stamps are different and it works just the same.

[breethompson31]

where did you get your konad stamp and disk from?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@breethompson31 from the state fair =)

[breethompson31]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Gosh darn, I was hoping it was from a website somewhere. Lol. I have seen the starter kits, but it looks like the only have 2 disk in them and I want more than just two. Any advice?

Also, thanks for the quick response! : )

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@breethompson31 there are websites - check out part 1 of my konad FAQ & the blog post. I haven't tried most of the sties myself but I know a lot of other bloggers have =)

[eileenspartypainting]

I WUV CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ilovemiddleschoolyah]

@SimpleLittlePleasues and why does size matter.............

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ilovemiddleschoolyah because as I said in the vid I find the salon express one to be way too big, it's unwieldy - but that's just my personal preference. I suppose some people may like a handle the size of a paddle LOL

[ilovemiddleschoolyah]

@KrissD74 okay yah I was like $115 for 20 plates that is higher than Konad LOL but do they sell scraper and stamper and stuff? Because that is a good price but I have Salon Express and it works good for me :)

[ilovemiddleschoolyah]

@SimpleLittlePleasues you can just clean the excess off the stamper. Or try scraping faster with the scraper and you will get a better turn out, I tried it. Salon Express is not that bad. And yes I got it to work better. Not to be mean, but it is not going to get perfect just clean up around the edges and stop making generic brand seem bad. And the credit card is just as bad. Sorry but it is true.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ilovemiddleschoolyah I'm not trying to make it seem bad - that's just the way it was. the Konad scraper works better for me & I'd prefer it even if they scraped the same because of the size =)

[ilovemiddleschoolyah]

@KrissD74 that seems expensive.......

[KrissD74]

@ilovemiddleschoolyah LOL OMG I meant to say $15 dollars...lol sorry

[AliciaTags]

Great video. Wasn't that impressed with the SE stuff so I'm going with the Bundle Monster brand. Now, my question, when you order the plates, how do you know what ones you're getting, and if you made another order, how do you know they're not going to resend the same plates you have?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@AliciaTags bundle monster has 2 distinct sets - you can see all the plates that come with each & I think they are differerent amount like one is 21 & the other 25 =)

[CeliaLovesZebras]

okay, LEGIT you scraped it wrong, you do a super fast swipe, not some dinky slow thing. IT WILL WORK BETTER!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@CeliaLovesZebras it could work perfect every time & I'd still prefer the konad for the size

[FantanaMonster]

My ten yer old cousin said it didn't work...she didn't take off the blue film...haha! Not that I could afford Konad but i would so prefer it.

[melaniemadigan0]

My scrapper from Salon Express works... :P

[KrissD74]

Hi there...thanks for review. Have you tried the Red Angel plates? They are neat and fun. I got mine on Amazon and you can get them for about $115 with shipping and they ship fast. :) You get 21 plates and a half moon plate too with some fun designs :) Just type in Red Angel Nail Plates there :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@KrissD74 no, I haven't tried that brand =)

[KrissD74]

@SimpleLittlePleasues LOL OMG I just noticed i said above about $115 lol I mean $15 dollars not the other lol sorry..but yes you defantly need to try the Red Angel plates ..alot of fun designs and they work well too :)

[RikaTariee]

I went to the website for Konad, I liked what I saw. I might purchase the SE just to get a feel of it but I think I'm gonna go with Konad. Is there somewhere I can purchase Konad or is it just online?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@RikaTariee I got mine at the state fair, so I know they have booths some places but I've never seen in a regular store =)

[caramelcoated19]

cvs too!

[peaceluvbiebs123]

i tried using mine and it didn't work

[starzhere]

At one time, you mentioned doing shorter nail looks using your mom as your model. I hope you do that sometime.

~elaine

[80z90zhouzemuzicgrl]

PLEASE DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT ITS A WASTE OF MONEY it was a mess

[80z90zhouzemuzicgrl]

it is a piece of waste of money !!!!!

[lisaboo617]

what stamping plate number from konad do you have on your nails now ?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@lisaboo617 m70 =)

[gloryjose3754]

thank you its nice the video

[gabrielcantu1]

im getting this tomorrow eith my sister n plus a few more nailpolishes :D

[80z90zhouzemuzicgrl]

@gabrielcantu1 dont do it its a waste of money

[AlyssaBarrett1]

Can you do a video on Sally Hansen Sally Strips Pleasee! :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@AlyssaBarrett1 I haven't tried them =)

[AlyssaBarrett1]

How much is a Konad one and where do you buy it??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@AlyssaBarrett1 I go over that in part 1 of my FAQ - it depends where you purchase & if you buy a set or purchase things individually =)

[AliciaRocks247]

P.S. ilooooove your videos with all the water marbles can you do moree ?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@AliciaRocks247 I don't have any planned right now but there will be more eventually =)

[AliciaRocks247]

@SimpleLittlePleasures thank youu but do you know what pharmacy has it ? :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@AliciaRocks247 no, I haven't seen it at walgreens yet but I think it depends on the store, others have found it there =)

[patita9234]

i work at dd's discount and they have it for $6.99

[starburst9ification]

Sometimes infomercials crack me up. The funniest part "press on designs fall off," and the nail just pops off! so hilarious. Also when the lady was demonstrating to all the others, you can see when she scraped the excess nail polish there was still some extra polish on the plate, but she stamped it anyway. LOL!!!!

[Pinkyhotwheels]

I want one!!! I'm gonna go look @ target today!!

[lilblu3y]

please do more videos comparing all the types of stampers there are.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@lilblu3y for the most part they are not that different, but I do some comparisons in my FAQs =)

[AliciaRocks247]

Where else do they sell it because its not at target!!!!!! Some 1 plzzzzzz tell meeeeee !!!!!!!!!!!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@AliciaRocks247 I got mine from sallys =)

[MsTbaby8]

How did you do the design on your nails? Can you do a tutorial on the look?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MsTbaby8 I don't usually do stamping tutorials aside from my FAQs but the details will be in the blog post once it's up =)

[vness760]

So glad you did this video! You just saved a bunch of people $10. I'd rather invest in Konad for sure, even though it is the pricier option.

[Conversequeen27]

@vness760 haha, I'm glad you made that comment, you just saved me 18 minutes.

[kristeniihrh]

Kiss has put out their own version of this. I bought it and have used just the snowflake pattern. It did seem to work rather well. The scraper is rather cheap, it probably will break easily. But the plates are nice and it comes with a tiny bottle of polish. I bought the set for about $6 at Wal-Mart and the set of extra plates for about $3. If you can find the Kiss sets, it would be interesting to see a comparison on it as well. Thanks for the info!

[MsDemonJuggalette]

i dont have konad polish, so i tested my "any polish" on the plates and found that for me sally hanson works pretty good. for me even with reg polish and the SE scraper it still leaves excess polish around the image. :(

[indigomoon69]

l need this lol many thanks x

[vixenportia]

This is a very very useful video.Thank you so much for taking this seriously.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@SuperRandomBird I got mine from the state fair =)

[HaleysComet33]

I wonder if their scraper was ineffective because you used the stamping polish instead of regular polish. (Is the stamping polish thicker?) It might be cool to see if their claim is true with regular nail polish! Thanks for doing this--I'd love to see a part 2!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@HaleysComet33 maybe but I doubt it - plates are all pretty much the same in that regard that I've found. thicker is better & the SE even mentions thick polish in the instructions =)

[lolgirl009]

@SimpleLittlePleasues This might help. use the other side on the scraper

[mommy401971]

Thanks for this review! I had been thinking about getting this for my daughter and to start for her to learn I think this would work, but I don't think I want this for myself.

[155Bay]

do the turtle!

[k8lynroxzursoxz]

What is on your nails?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@k8lynroxzursoxz Zoya Reece =)

[EdgyBeauty101]

I'm so excited I just bought myself some Konad supplies for the first time! I have watched your FAQ on it, and after much debate, I finally got some supplies on Amazon! Haha I'm such a dork... But I'm so excited! XOXO

[Chloey39]

Where do you buy your Konad nail polish?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Chloey39 they have a booth at my state fair =)

[alikc25]

Cool i will give it a try.

[ichikiraluna]

I don't know if anyone said this yet (I don't have time to go through 377 comments) but I know why the SE scraper was not as effective as the Konad one - the Konad scraper is sharper. When you used it I could see significant scratches on the plate from it compared to the SE one.

[Lemonlimexxx27]

Also I love ur review thx for being honest!!!!!!!

[Lemonlimexxx27]

I love ur nails I believe their length looks great on you !!

[DangersGirl4Ev]

Thank you!!! So then I guess the konad is worth the money!

[racheluvshorses96]

This was really helpful!

[neso953]

thank ou so much you helped me alot i bought one today i never new there was stickers on those plats lol thank you so much

[cutiecupcake7]

TY

[hwiseman1]

Thanks for the info!!!

[MsDemonJuggalette]

i got the salon express stamper kit for christmas. other then the image plates, id have to say i wouldnt waste my money on it, glad i got it as a gift :)

[ZainaDancer]

Thanks for that review, Colette. I just picked up this kit a couple of weeks ago. I thought the scraper was crap, too. I actually filed it down a bit with a fine file & it worked great.

[hellokittyrox28]

I saw another "konad" type stamper called Bella nails or Bella nail art but something bella

[PinupPenny93]

I got mine at Bed Bath and Beyond for like 9 bucks

[PinupPenny93]

@PinupPenny93 Also be careful with the plates they can (and will) slice your fingers if youre not careful!

[Cadnyheart2]

can u do a constest

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Cadnyheart2 sorry but I don't plan on doing any contests =)

[starbabydream]

I saw it at Rite Aid for $9.99. I wasn't sure about buying it. Thank you for the review. Very helpful. :)

[glambert56]

@ilovemymiddleschoolyah do you have a problem with my comment??

[theKRMsisters]

could u reccomed a store i could get any stamper scraper and plates really cheap or can u send me your salon effects :) i dont have much money but you dont have to

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@theKRMsisters well, this set is only $10 so it's pretty cheap & available several places - although I don't care for the scraper some of the designs are cute & I don't plan on getting rid of it LOL

[dlgymnastics]

IT DIDNT TRANSFER ALL THE WAY BECAUSE YOU USED THE WRONG SCRAPER NIMROD

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@dlgymnastics um, did you somehow miss the part where the "right" scraper is a piece of crap?

[dlgymnastics]

@SimpleLittlePleasues actually no i didnt considering you said it 6 million times

[lilyandotis]

@dlgymnastics the scraper has nothing to do with how it turns out.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@lilyandotis yeah, because I'd really want that first stamp of the hearts on my nails ... you are clueless LOL

[lilyandotis]

@SimpleLittlePleasues i worded that wrong, What I ment was that the scraper that came with it doesnt have to be the one you use. So it didnt matter that you used the Konad one for the Salon express, it does the same job, but better.

I hope that makes more sence. lol

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@lilyandotis yes =) & apparently some of the scrapers that come with it are OK - but many are not. poor quality control

[lilyandotis]

@SimpleLittlePleasues I noticed that, Mine doesnt work at all, but My friend's works fine.

[RuhNerds]

Ohhh Wow it does work !!! :)

I want it! ❤

[OGSwagification]

[chiquitopompompup]

[bernarya]

Hey, I saw the Commercial today on T.V. (1/16/2012) and I have most of the ordering number i just need the three numbers in the middle. This is what I have on a piece of paper:

1-800- -1609 Salon Express . Thank you if you can help! :D

[armory365]

You should just watch Tofulolo's video on Salon Express She explains it really well and gives you a lot of detail and advice.

[sweetpixie100]

nice nails in vid how did you do them

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@sweetpixie100 with the konad plate that I show at the begining of the 2nd half =)

[sweetpixie100]

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@sweetpixie100 yes - I show the polish & the plate that I used
