Cheap NEW 2013 Gals "Princes Set" of 25 Nail Art Nailart Polish Stamp

Customer Ratings:

While these look like nice quality plates, the full nail designs are TINY, even more so than many other plates. I thought since Gals are products made by Cheeky, they'd be the size of newer CHeeky products they are not. The individual designs don't have much detail, and there aren't many of them. The nail tip designs, are oddly large considering how small the "full" nail designs are, but since I file my nails to an oval shape, they aren't much use to me unless I want to put them in the middle of my nail. So once again, I have another collection of plates that won't fit my thumbs or even moderate length nails. Each is 1/2 inch wide by 1/2 inch tall, from the center, so actually SMALLER than Konad because of the rounded base.

If you have small and short nails, then you'll probably enjoy these. If you are a professional who has to deal with many nail sizes, stick with the Cheeky XL plates or just don't taunt your customers with larger nails with these designs so they won't know about what they can't have. Or get busy coming up with a different design for thumbs. I like the ease of picking a plate and knowing it will work on all of my nails. I guess that's too much to expect again. Big waste of my money.

Like others, I was very excited about the new sets as I am a big fan of the other Cheeky plate disc sets and XL stamping plates. This set was the first one available on Amazon, so I snapped it up.

Pros: good plate design mix. There are a lot of designs you're going to find in any plate set (houndstooth, for example) for a beginner who wants the basics, but also enough all-purpose new designs to make the set worth considering if you already have a couple of sets.

Cons: Image size. The 'half moon' bottom of the full plate images shrinks what would be a reasonable size image for short-medium nails to unusable. Full plate image dimensions would have been 5/8" long x 1/2" wide, but with the half moon cutout, it shrinks to just over 1/2" long x 1/2" wide.

Who should buy this: People with very small nail beds, people with short-medium nails who like having a half-moon cutout on each nail, people with long (but not wide) nails who like french tip designs.

I'm going to give these to a small-nailed friend, because I just can't use them. I don't have long nails. I keep them trimmed to about 1/8" from the quick, and don't do french tip designs because I don't have enough 'tip' for the designs to be visible!

I just received these plates (along with the other matching setthe Fairy set). I ripped the package open and was so excited I had to try them out right away!! =0)

I have a LOT of stamping plates and other nail art stuff in general. I'm not an expert, but a very dedicated fan, lets say... ;0)

These plates have some awesome designs!!! The variety you receive is wonderfulfull nail designs, French plates, and individual images galore...!

I did notice the full nail images are not as large as the images are on the new CHEEKY plates. They were definitely large enough for my nails as they are right nowI have them fairly short at the momentsport length I'd say. It seems to me that since the line is called "Gals," it is meant for smaller fingers / shorter nails. Maybe intended more for the younger market. However, if you heave shorter length nails like me, these at going to be perfect!!! No again, an awesome value. There are way more plates I'd use than plates I won't. ;0) I can't say that about some other sets.

The etching is definitely good quality. The plates are not thin and bendy at allthey are a good thickness and strong. Each one has the blue film on the topit removes as easily as most sets I ownstart peeling from the edge and it comes off very well.

I also love the fact that the backing is blackmy other plates with a sticker on back are all whiteafter I use them, there is always polish on the back and when I try to clean it off, it will either take the printing with it or just smear around and not come clean. The black backing is much nicerlooks more finished and not at all messy when I'm donepolish cleans off it way better.

Both sets are a awesome value!! I prefer the designs onthe princess setI love love love that there is a faux bios design (wood grain!!!!!). I also love that there are complimentary designsthere are a few different sizes and orientations of similar designs so you can create a unique mani that is matching but not all the same or "matchy-matchy" if that makes any sense... =0)

The other thing I love is the packagingmost other plates come with each plate packaged in its own cello bag. Such a waste!! It takes a lot of time to open each bag and remove the plates and they always end up in the trash right away! =0(

These plates come with no bagsthe whole stack is housed neatly in a little square box. I love that!! =0)

The point isI LOVE THEM!!! if you like stamping, these sets (Princess and Fairy) are a must buy!!!

Thanks so much for your time and Happy Stamping!!! XD

even with my short nails, most of the designs are too small to fill my full nail bed. This is particularly disappointing since I had hoped they would be on the larger side based on a youtube review. Good designs but not workable even on short and small nails.
