Reddit reviews Bliss Kiss Simply Neat Manicure Mat - Silicone Manicure Mat for Stamping and Nail Art

Thanks! :) Wall o' text incoming: I used a light pink polish to paint fingernail-sized rectangles on a silicone mat. While those dried, I used a dark red polish on my chosen designs on a stamping plate, scraped with an old plastic card, picked up the design with a stamper and stamped it onto the dried polish rectangles from before. Once the design dried completely, I painted over the rectangles with top coat (this makes it easier to peel off the decals later). Again, wait to dry (~10 mins). Once dry, get a blunt-edged object (I used the round end of my tweezers) to lift up the edges of the polish on the mat and once you have a good amount lifted, flip your tweezers over, grab the edge and carefully lift the decal horizontally off the mat. Boom, you have a homemade decal. You can then use a small pair of scissors or a nail clipper to cut the decal down to the size you need for your fingers. Then, paint your finger with base coat and, while still wet, place the decal on it, position it how you'd like it, and flatten it out with your fingers. There'll probably be some decal hanging over the edge of your nail and that's where your scissors/nail clippers come in handy (or use a nail file and carefully file away the excess). If there's extra decal on the sides of your nail, use a synthetic brush and some polish remover to remove it. Once all that is done, go over your nail and the edge of your nail with top coat. Done!

If she doesn't have a cotton claw she'd probably love it. You can use acetone/polish remover on your nails, or to clean up your mat, or clean off your stamping plate, etc, without ruining the polish on your scrubbing hand.

She might also like a silicone mat to work on, they're fairly new and popular. If you're not clear on why anyone would want one or how they are useful look up nail mat reviews on YouTube. Here are three mats made especially for nails:

Essie Gel Couture isn't a super high end polish but it's a very new line from Essie and might not be in Sweden yet. (I'm in the US and haven't seen it at my local stores but I haven't looked everywhere.) You can order it online. There's a massive review showing all 42 shades here:

I'm sure others will have more great suggestions so I'll stop here. :)

Oh my gosh, yes! I've spilled remover so many times on that thing and it's saved whatever surface I was using. It does not enjoy acrylic, though. I learned that the hard way.

The mat I have is this one from Amazon. It's on sale for $10 USD.
