The Essence nail art stampy set 01: Be Creative!
Today I went to the store to get myself some more Catrice nail polsih (the 50% off sale was still going on, so how could I resist?) From right to left you can see 090 Dark Lavender, 050 Nougat Praline and 070 Rose Pink. When I was looking around in the store I noticed a cute little pink box that reminded me very much of Konad and their stamping sets: The Essence nail art stampy set! I've always wanted to try Konad so I was very excited when I found the cheaper version (it was only € 2,99 which is like 4 dollars) because now I could practice the stamping and find out if it was nice or not :)Essence has two different sets: o1 Be Creative! and 02 Have fun! I got myself the 01 set and I couldn't wait to try it out. The set contains a stamper, a scraper and a very cute image plate. Some girls call it boring but I really love the floral theme and the butterfly. I was still a little worried that it would end up as a failure because it's considered to be the 'fake konad' but when I was testing it I felt really happy. It worked exactly how I wanted it to work: it was easy, fast and it stamped perfectly. I feared the nail polish wouldn't work with the stamper (I used the new Catrice ones) or that I'd get messy flowers on my nails but it went fine! I was so relieved and really happy I bought this set today, this one is perfect if you can't get your hands on Konad or want to try a cheaper version first. Or maybe you want to give someone a cute little gift (My little sister had her eyes on me
the whole time I was stamping) :POne thing you might dislike about this set: The scraper does leave scratches on the image plate. It makes your plate look a little messed up but it doesn't effect the stamping at all, which is good. I also wish Essence would offer more plates, they have a different one in each set but I'd like to buy separated ones. When my other sister heard about my Essence set, she told me she had the Konad one (and she never used it, that bad girl!) Anyway, next week we're going to compare the two :) I'm curious what the differences between them are and I also want to find out if the Konad plates work for this one. I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun with this set though! After I was done with my nails today it was a bit too dark to take decent pictures but hopefully I can show pictures of some cute & creative looking nails soon.
By the way, the Catrice polish I used to paint my nails Wednesday never chipped or anything. I had it on my nails for 4 whole days and I'm really satisfied with the quality. It's such a cheap nail polish and so easy to work with, so I'm happy it looks nice for a couple of days (with the use of a good base coat and top coat)

Oh, that's cool! I'd love to see what you've created with this stamping set. The same thoughts were going through my mind too when I first bought this Essence stamping set: If it didn't work out, never mind. :D
Omg this is just like konad's. How amazing. I hope it is going to be on sale here :))
witoxicity: I tried to create something this morning, I already made some pictures so will post more about that today :)
VaidaG: I don't regret buying this one at all, if you see it on a sale you should definitely grab one ;)
I’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your sites
really nice, keep it up! I'll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back down the road. Many thanks

Surfing around stumbleupon.com I noticed your site bookmarked as: Blogger: Beauty Vibes.
Now i'm assuming you bookmarked it yourself and wanted to ask if social bookmarking gets you a good deal of targeted traffic? I've been looking at doing some bookmarking for a few of my sites but wasn't certain if it would yield any positive results. Thanks.

Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any tips?
