I'm incredibly pleased with this starter set. The quality of the polishes, stamp, and plate are all phenomenal, and I was able to pick up stamping super quick. There's still a little but of a learning curve, but it's been a lot easier than I was anticipating! I've had no issues with the ice cube stamper after following the instructions (washing it with dish soap before first use). I will say that I wish the base and top coat came as part of the set -I bought them separately, but I think getting started without them would have been really difficult. For beginners, the mani mask and tweezers/cotton grabber are probably also great things to add on to avoid messes. All in all, a great set to start up stamping!

I love the plates and polishes. Very opaque and nice colors. But when the box arrived one of the polishes (the lilac color one) had leaked a lot. Kind of disappointed with that.

Everything worked very well. I also bought the no smudge top coat and it works amazing. It has a very strong and funny smell but is well worth it, it also dries very quick compared to others I have used in the past. The black and white polishes were very pigmented which is another up side to this brand. My stamper work the very first time no issues picked up the details well. Definitely will be buying more from Maniology!!!

I feel the stamping plates give you the perfect amount of polish every time, the images transfer perfectly and I love every image on the plates I have bought! It's like the images on the plates goes perfectly together and I am always finding some thing new about my plates that make me even happier I bought them. The only down side was that I had to buy a different stamper because the cube one that came with it was absolutely not working and I tryed a lot of difrent ways.. it was just to had to make it pic up the image. Using my other stamper I bought separate works perfectly with my plates so problem solved! I still give it 5 stars because these plates are amazing and you can't find these fine quality plates for this cheap anywhere else and plus u get 2 polishes as well and I love that!!

So excited I got this kit. I got it as free, just pay shipping, and for the first time ever I've actually figured out how to stamp! I've tried so many times before and just got frustrated and gave up. Not sure what the difference is but it's so easy and fun! It's my new hobby and I love it!
