Hi!
A couple of days ago, I bought 2 new imageplates from Shirley (DashicaBeautyshop) to see if they work just as fine as the other plates I have, from MagnoNails, Konad, BundleMonster etc.
I bought these 2 plates:
• Helps prevent surface staining of natural nails and enhancements.
• 3-free formula does not contain Formaldehyde,Toluene or Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP).
And now a little review:
Because I'm a bit of a cheater (I always wear acrylics on my own nails), my colleague tested this basecoat on her real nails, to see if all the above is true... With OPI polishes, she's always experiencing chipping after just a couple of days (2 or 3). So this time she put on 1 coat of CND Stickey Base Coat, 2 coats of her regular OPI polish, and 1 coat of Seche Vite fast drying top coat.
And guess what...?
Her manicures lasted for (at least) 5 days, without any chipping or tipwear!
She eventually removed her polish because she wanted a different color. But the manicure was still looking fine! That's good news, isn't it? I bought CND Stickey Base Coat 68 ml/2.3 fl. oz for $12,99 + $5,99 shipping to The Netherlands (total €13,50 incl. shipping).
I also bought a new bottle of CND Solar Oil, because of my acrylic nails...
And this oil works wonders!
I got this bottle of 15 ml/0.5 fl. oz. of Ebay and paid $5,95 + $3,50 shipping to The Netherlands (total €6,40 incl. shipping).

I bought these 2 plates:
SdP-A15, because of the 3 full images
SdP-D03, because of the full LOVE-image (okay, I like the Armani-logo too :) )
I haven't got time to try them, but I will soon...
