Winstonia Store Wedding Bliss and On The Road Nail Art Stamping Plates Review

Hiya nail art fanatics,

You may recall when I posted about Winstonia Store's release of 2 new unexpected nail art plates from their square series - Wedding Bliss and On The Road.  You can read about that here.  Today I have a review with swatches of these plates for you to take a look at.  I actually own the first 4 plates in the square series as you know and I've spent a lot of time playing with the floral plate in particular.  That's why I was so pleased when I saw these plates releasing.  So let's take a look...

The Plates

Each comes in the standard outer clear plastic wrapping (which has been removed here) and with a blue protective film.  The plates themselves measure 7 cm wide x 8 cm tall, and feature roughly 10 smaller sized images along with 6 full sized images.

Size Comparison

The images to vary a bit as you can but the full sized images for these plates measure 1.5cm x 2.0cm. I think a lot of the longer nail ladies can breathe a sigh of relief since these are about the equivalent of the most jumbo nail sets. Certainly I had no difficulties with the sizing of these images, but you can take a look at the list I compiled below for ease of comparison to some other general brands.

MoYou London Plate Pro 08 (non-XL) - 1.5 x 1.3 cm
MoYou London Plates  Explorer 10 (XL) - 2.2 x 1.6 cm
Bunny Nails HD B -  2.0  x 2.5cm
MJ Plate VIII - 1.7 x 2.2cm
Fab Ur Nails Fun 2 - 1.7x 2.2 cm
Vivid Lacquer 007 - 2.0 x 2.0 cm 
Cheeky Jumbo 2013 - 1.5 x 2.0 cm
Bundle Monster CYO - 1.7 x 1.9 cm
Cici & Sisi - 1.5 x 2.0 cm
The Images

As with all my reviews when swatching out the images I used Wet N' Wild Black Creme and my gold standard XL marshmallow stamper from Bunny Nails (3 years prior).  I only switch to Konad Special Stamping polish or Mundo de Unas in the event I am unable to pick up an image.  For these plates there was no need to switch to stamping polishes.  The etching for these was near flawless with the exception of some of the smaller font related images, i.e. the I DO and travel book.  For these I think the etching was fine, but because the font was so small on these images it was somewhat difficult to get a stamp that clearly showed the words in the image.  Otherwise everything else transferred very cleanly.

Final Impression

Overall I am very pleased with these plates.  The etching was perfect the images were cute and unique especially for the travel themed plate.  Both the size and the variety of images per plate makes each a worthwhile addition to a collection especially if you want a wedding/bridal themed plate that can double up as a Valentine's Day themed plate as well.  These plates are both available on the Winstonia Store website here and retail for $4.95 USD + shipping.  I also want to point out if you purchase 2 or more of these plates including the Soccer Mania plate and use the code "SAYIDO" you can get 10% off your total purchase.  Take advantage of their 20% off sale to wrack up even more savings and earn yourself some free shipping.  Not to bad eh?  I hope you enjoyed reading this review and stay tuned for some Wedding Bliss nail art up next...
