Great idea! I have a plate holder but it just seems easier to use the cell holder and I have one in my car that I don't really use so now I can put it to good use thanks!! Any ideas for a polish holder that tilts?? Hard to use polish when it's getting low.

To use without a plate holder place it on a paper towel or if you have a silicone mat place on that. At the dollar store and at some stores that sell $1 items look for those car phone mats (thin rubber mats that go on the dash board to hold a cellphone). Those work as well since it keeps the plate from moving around. For those who don't want to wait Amazon Marketplace has the Konad ones (which holds the Bundle Monster and Shany plates) for under $3 with free shipping.

I guess everyone does what works for them; I do use my plate holder - the Konad one works for Pueen plates too. But I agree it does mean I end up having to clean the holder as well as the plates, which can be a pain. Honestly, I haven't often tried -not- using the holder, but I plan to give it a try again just to see. I'm so glad these threads are here - I have to give them all a thorough read! So much to still learn.

Awesome. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I totally plan on buying more. She's on vacation until the 25th though so her Etsy store isn't open. I know she was testing out some really pretty holiday plates so hopefully they'll be up next week.

Can anyone recommend them or make any suggestions?
My biggest advice to anyone starting out is to find designs you like. Most of the brands like Mash, Bundle Monster, etc are all pretty much at the same level of quality product. I also buy a ton of overseas plates from Born Pretty or Ebay and I have only had a few that were kind of meh. But what I mean by finding designs you like is if you are a super girly girl something like the Cheeky Gals sets are good. Tons of pretty images. Bundle Monster has a Holiday edition, the Bundle Monster user created set is awesome for just everyday off the wall stuff. I find myself always looking for the next plate because mine doesn't have what I want and my bf is like.. OMG don't you have enough??? Winstonia makes some cool plates. I just got some with nothing but jungle images and animals on it. I first got the Salon Express kit from a discount store and loved it. I think my Big Lots had it clearance for under 2 bucks. I then started ordering them online and haven't stopped yet!! If you buy something that had images you won't use that's exactly what you won't do. Also if you have small nails I recommend looking for ones with smaller designs so you don't get discouraged nothing fits. If you have longer nails, there are a ton of great plates out there.

Thank you! I need to look at those kit designs closer. I think if I got a jungle bundle (say it 3x fast) I would cry. Thank you for loading me up on sources and recommendations. Very dangerous, but a good kind of dangerous. And Big Lots! Really? I will have to check that out. ~crosses fingers~

I am good at being dangerous just ask anyone here. I know they sell the Salon Express kit at Sally Beauty for 9.99, I have seen it at Ross stores (I am in FL) and other discount stores too. That's the stamper I still use and I have around 6 total.
I got one plate from Konad for 5.99 or something because it was cats
and this is the Winstonia one
I got that one 4.95 on their ebay store, ordered it Friday got it in mail Monday with free shipping. As you can probably tell I like animals.
Oh and this is my other new one
I got it for Superman but it's Stan from South Park that stole my heart.

A little off topic: CMM is doing 20% off everything including subscriptions with code BLACKFRIDAY. I nabbed an annual sub for $60 - or $5.00/month.
