Lina Nail Art Stamping Plates Review




Hi hi hi everyone! Today I have something suuuuper exciting to share with you all, my first stamping plate review. I waited until I received my coupon code for you guys to post this so that you guys can fall in love with these plates like I did! I received 4 lovely plates from Lina Nail Art Supplies to review and talk about with you guys and boy am I excited to share my experience with these plates. I am very picky about my stamping plates, I want my stamping experience to be as easy and quick as possible and I am happy to say I am NOT disappointed with these plates (spoiler)! My final opinion is at the very bottom so make sure to read all the way down :)

"Summer 01"
  The first plate I have to share some nail art action of is from the "Summer 01" plate. This was the first plate I used (I actually tested it on my brother!) and right away I knew these plates were going to be my new go-to stamping supplies. My first attempt was a joke because I did not realize the plates had a clear protective film on them, it was 100% invisible so I applied the polish, scraped, and allll of the polish scraped off, leaving me nothing to pick up on my stamper. After I realized my mistake, I face palmed for a second, removed the film and tried again! The image picked up flawlessly, and I even used just a mediocre stamper.
  I was honestly baffled by the crisp lines and how easily I did it, I almost always have trouble getting it right so quickly with new plates! I adore all of the images on this plate, it has totally encapsulated summer and is so perfect for beautiful poolside manis all season long. I give this plate a 10/10 on creativity and ease. (I actually give them all that score...) I am actually slowly counting down the minutes until summer nails are acceptable to start posting again, I need to use this plate again asap!!!

   The fourth and final plate I have to brag all about is named "In motion 02". This. plate. is. So. Cool. I have aways been a big fan of optical illusions and this plate reminds me of them so much! This plate is the kind of thing to make your mani look unlike anything you've ever seen before, I promise you that people will be in awe when they catch a glimpse of you're mani with any of these images stamped on! I love how every design is so different from the last, giving you sooooo many possibilities to be creative as possible! How fun is that?? I really enjoyed playing with this plate, I have to be careful to not make myself dizzy with it!

   So my final opinion of these plates are 8/10, pretty much as good as it gets! The only reason they are not 10/10 is because I do wish they had a sturdy base, unfortunately they are just pure metal which I am so scared to accidentally bend! These plates are 9.5 x 14.5 cm and the images are around 18 x 22 mm. They are also a bit on the pricey side at $14.99 a pop but you really do get what you pay for, these are quality products. I think these are beautifully etched, I've used brands similar to these plates and I had to return them because the etching was so poor. Luckily, I did not have this problem even once with these plates, they are wonderful and you get crisp lines every time! 

No matter what stamper I used, everything came out awesome and perfect every single time. I think the creativity on each plate is superb and so unique, you will be pleasantly surprised with the amount of fun, different designs you get on these plates :) They are a fairly new company but they have such a wide variety of different plates, you have a great selection to choose from which is always so nice. If you fell in love with these plates like I did, make sure to use my coupon code, "polishedpatient15OFF" to get 15% off your entire order!
