I had already bought a small no-name stamp with scrapers in a kit together, I had a little edited to better work with them because of this sat too deep in the plastic, so I came with the plastic always against my nails. This was actually very satisfactory after processing, but by reviews I was recommended by Konad warmly. Later I bought a set, which unfortunately as a duplicate of this Konad turned out double-punch. At this later ...
This Konad double-stamp does what he ought to do and does what it needs to: Beautiful flexible surface on both sides, removable parts (for whatever reason) and for one or another very handy (it is for me, it rather less, probably because I was used to the small stamp, maybe I'd rather have bought the little Konad stamp ...)
He also takes the polish on as usual and also transmits it clean again.
Now for comparison: + positive * / ~ neutral -negative
First, I want to mention that I have all the scraper, except the plastic scraper, not tested since I've seen through videos etc. / read that an old customer or credit card would be better to avoid unsightly scratches on the stencil.
Whoever therefore wants to keep the stencil like long scratches and do not like, should make use of the same.
Who do not mind, can feel free to use the scraper provided, these are for some supposedly better because that really remove all superfluous paint (which I think is the plastic card also is doing ...).
1. The small stamp, with a plastic scraper to
+ Does what he should do: take to paint, stamping these again on the nail
+ Silicone is soft, flexible and has a bright, light pink surface, thus there are no problems with any paint colors
* Silicone surface removable
~ Some handy, for others not (enough for me)
- If necessary, the own necessary editing (have to remove the silicone and stuffed some cotton to increase the silicone something works great!)
2. The Konad duplicate, with supplied scraper with metal blade
+ Does what he should do: take to paint, stamping these again on the nail
+ Soft, flexible silicone, in similar colors as Konad, bright red for the large, dark green for the small area
+ Who want to spend less and will have the same model as Konad, is hereby also well served
* Silicone surface removable
~ Some handy, for others not (enough for me)
- This is the silicone colored, it might have problems with the same paint colors, in the sense that these might be more difficult to see (eg same red or green on the stamp)
- The surface of the paint takes on slightly different than its competitor
3. The original Konadstempel, with the supplied scraper with metal blade
+ Does what he should do: take to paint, stamping these again on the nail
+ Soft, flexible silicone, but harder than the previous and in the colors red and green
* Silicone surface removable
~ Some handy, for others not (enough for me)
- If necessary, the cost
- This is the silicone colored, it might have problems with the same paint colors, in the sense that these might be more difficult to see (eg same red or green on the stamp)
Conclusion: Who is willing to spend a little more at first as a beginner, has got hold this investment a very good double temple.
There are alternatives if you want to pay less.
And on the whole, it is not on the punches, if something goes wrong. As with other things also: Practice makes perfect!
I hope I could help some, in their decision :)
