Looking for options instead of Barbie Nails Digital Printer

[cathyce2]

My daughter has the Barbie Nails Digital Printer on the top of her wish list, but it costs in the $200 range, doesn't get very good reviews, and knowing her I think she would be bored with it after a few uses.

Can anyone recommend a manicure set, nail decoration set, etc that is reasonably priced, good quality and easy to find as a replacement?

Thanks!

Try looking up Konad Nail art on Amazon- cheap and good quality. Lots and lots of fun.
There is a set called bundle monster that is awesome!!

I looked those up because my daughter wants the barbie printer also, but it is way too much money.
Those Konad things look really cool! How well do they work? Can someone maybe give us an idea of the basics we need to buy to get started?

(sorry for the hijack, I love this idea!)

Thanks

they work really well! My girls like them.

You get the started pack with the stamper and the squeegee. you attach the print you want on your nail then add the polish to the stamper and squeegee off the excess then you just roll it on the nail. Make sense? Harder to explain then do!

ULTA has a set by Essence for 20 dollars ish....it is super cute and works well,but the plates have sharp edges, so you need to help change them.

Thank you all so much. These are perfect. I'll put together with a nail dryer, some cotton rounds and a bottle of acetone and she will be a happy girl

My 10 & 12 yr olds LOVE their KONAD systems. They can easily do it themselves and their friends are always coming over to get mani/pedis with it!

The monster bundle mentioned on amazon, is that by konad? Does it make a difference, meaning do all plates work the same? I want to get this for my DD and want to make sure to buy the right stuff. Also, where is the best/cheapest place to buy the stuff?

the monster bundle works the same and works with the Konad tools. Ebay or amazon are where I have gotten mine!
