Mash 43 Image Plate

I always love full nail floral patterns, maybe because they're so easy to use haha :)
Circle bubbles sooo cute, I wish I had pastels that are opaque enough for this.
The stripes reminds me of bar codes, it might work ;)
Oooh reptile pattern again, maybe I could do pastels with this too. Sorry I'm still into pastels til now.
Hibiscus are always pretty, maybe next summer.

Love the flowers, here's a mani I did with it:

The triangles, I'm thinking of using it with a yellow base and black stamping then vice versa but I don't have a yellow that would be opaque enough for it to show up :/
Retro squares looks nice ^_^
I really like that the horse look like it's running, maybe a sunset background or maybe a field of grass would suit it.

What's not to like in this plate?!
Tiger print, love it!!!
I'm just so bad with color combos that I might screw that up.
One of the best dragon fly design I've seen on a plate.
It's great that the images on this plate are unique, nobody likes repetitions of images right?

Mash 40 Image Plate

Swirls and lines ^_^
Very fine diagonal lines, will try to use it some time.
Swirls will look good with a gradient base.
Vintage like floral design is very pretty
Leopard print, it's okay I think I should try this print soon. I never do leopard prints.
Rainbow clouds, looks like the clouds are too small for the rainbow don't you think?

Red Angel 113 Image Plate

Another wingless fairy but that's okay I still think she looks cute ^_^
For me this is plate is just okay, I think they grabbed the designs here from other nail stamping sets. If this is your first and only set you would be able to appreciate it I guess.
If you'll look closely my plate has a bad and deep straight scratch above the camou or cow print design, it's very apparent on my swatch... tsk tsk tsk :(
I'm hoping that this will not affect the image when I do use it since it's near the corner.

Red Angel 107 Image Plate

Pretty cool plate if you love to do water marbling ^_^
Fishbone design looks cool too
Almost perfect, they really need to tell their plate designer or arranger to line those images up perfectly. I know it's really not a big deal since all the images work but if you're used to having plates that are lined up well this could be an eyesore.

QA8 Image Plate

I think this is the only plate I own that has a full nail skull design....
must... get... more... LOL ^_^
First, the small floral prints are cute but I rarely use these kind of designs.
Next the camouflage full nail design in the middle is smaller than the others which I really don't understand, why didn't make it the same size as the others?
The leopard or cheetah print is a bit on the thick side, let's just say that there are lot of better versions out there.
The wave like design and the checkered print are okay by me. ^_^

F2 Image Plate

This plate has four full nail designs, the size is pretty decent and since most of it are animal prints you can even double stamp if you have long nails ^_^

The dog image looks so cool but I haven't had the chance to try it yet.

I'm very partial to butterflies, even if they look cool or pretty I don't use them much at all. The butterfly image in here looks nice though.

You got your Mickey and Hello Kitty, a flower and dolphin.

Really liking this plate, the slim zebra design looks so sexy ;)

Konad Q1 Dupe MLS301 ^_^

Ever since I saw a nail art pic of the Konad Q1 plate I immediately fell in love ♥♥♥ with it, so like a normal image plate addict I browsed the world wide web where I could purchase it. The results were somewhat disappointing,
first no one was selling it here in the Philippines,
second the price of the Q1 plate is quite high than the other Konad plates which I think it's because of its exclusivity to Konad UK.
 So my heart sank and dilemma, dilemma, dilemma... I don't really want to spend more than a thousand pesos for one 5cm plate even if it's an original Konad plate.
I had to hope that someday someone will make a dupe of it like the other Konad plates, but of course hoping for good quality if not great. 
My hope was lifted when someone at Adventures in Stamping saw a dupe plate on Ebay, which is the MLS301 plate. So all I had to do was patiently wait until it becomes available here.
I didn't have to wait very long, I was chatting with one of my favorite image plate seller MyOnline Shop and asked if they would ever carry the Q1 dupe plate and at that time she just said that she did have the plate on-hand but she only had a few pieces. I asked if she would sell one to me and that I would pay for it ASAP!
I was happy that I got this plate, it's clearly one of my favorites! Though it's not as perfect as the original Q1 plate, I still love it!

I couldn't make a real comparison but from what I've gathered from those who has the Q1 plate that the dupe has thicker etchings and has extra candies on the side, aside from that everything looks pretty much the same. ^_^
