Stamping Plate Stress Test: Hehe Plate 013

I love nail stamping. I happen to really like Sailor Moon. When I learned that Sailor Moon stamping plates were a thing, I had to investigate!

Hehe is a new to me stamping plate manufacturer. Their plate designs take somewhat after Pueen’s Stamping Buffet series in that the different designs usually cover the entire plate. I really like this type of versatility as it makes them more accessible to people of different skill levels and nail sizes. I got my plate from Amazon for about $5. 



As is usually the case, this plate has blue film on top that needs to be removed before you can use it. I would handle it with care. There is no backing on this plate; the edges are a bit sharp.

Stamping wise, I was very happy with how it performed. I played around with stamping in different polishes, making sure I hit all the major areas on the plate. Everything picked up and transferred nicely. The real test came when I decided to try and use Sally Hansen Color Foil in Liquid Gold; the most aggravating polish I have that will stamp. It dries very quickly, and doesn’t always want to play nice with what I’m stamping on.

It worked beautifully! I got what I wanted on my nail the first try, every time, even with all the lines and details. 



Verdict: Excellent

I wasn’t sure what to expect from an unknown manufacturer using a licensed property, so I’m really happy I didn’t waste my money on this! Based on this experience, I wouldn’t mind checking out some of their other plates.

UPDATE: This plate can be found on the Born Pretty website.
