First let me mention that Amazon did a horrible job packaging the plates. The first order of this item I placed a couple of days ago went missing according to UPS since the package tore. I contacted Amazon and they were nice enough to file a claim with UPS and have me place a new order after my initial refund was issued. I received the plates barely intact since I ordered it next day air. They sent it in a padded envelope with no support on the edges/ends so this is why the package tears. The plates are too heavy and they tear the bottom of the envelope.
So I opened my plates and was filming a video to post on Youtube about the designs and such. And come to find out that I received 2 duplicate plates and was missing a plate. So I contacted Cheeky and they were great at replying quickly and they told me that they would mail out the missing plate but since it was coming from China it would take approximately 25 days. I was alright with that. It was nice of them to tell me that I could keep the duplicate plates.
Here's my mistake, maybe I should have tested out the plates first before bothering in contacting Cheeky for my duplicate plates and missing plates because I started stamping some images (again to post on Youtube) and ALL the images on my 4 plates that I opened were way too shallow. I was so upset. I tried different polishes, different scrapers, different stampers to no avail.
I just contacted Cheeky thanking them for they're prompt and friendly customer service but I have no need for my missing plate since I will be sending this entire set back. Again, I am very disappointed in the quality.
I can only hope that the Princess set I ordered will be of better quality and the images will stamp as they should. But I wont know for another couple of weeks since they are coming from China. They are currently not available to order from Amazon.
If you are considering in purchasing these plates I would wait a while until they're quality assurance department has a second look at what they're putting out.
Perhaps the production of these plates was done too quickly to be available for the holidays?
Regardless they wont be of any use to me.
***Update: I received my Princess set from China and I am very impressed with that set. I will write a separate review for that.
I also received the plate I was missing as mentioned in my review from Cheeky even though I had already returned the set. But the quality is excellent on this replacement plate! I think I will take a chance and order the Fairy set again. I may have just received a fluke. In regards to customer service I give this company 5 stars!

I bought both Fairy Set and Princess Set and have no complaints with either; they both stamp well and have loads of cool designs. Lots of full size images which are handy to use for a quick mani. The box is handy to keep them all together for storage and travelling!Best Deals on NEW 2013 Gals "Fairy Set" of 25 Nail Art Nailart Polish Stamp
I love the designs on this set, but they're too small for me to use. I do NOT have long nails. I've never bought an image plate set where all the images were too small before.Full plate image dimensions with the half-moon are 5/8" long x 1/2" wide, but if you don't want the half-moon cutout design on your nail, the usable image size is just over 1/2" long x 1/2" wide.
If you intend to use these as full-plate designs, get out a ruler and measure your nails. If they're small enough, this is a great set of designs. And I envy you.
