My favorite thing about Konad stamping is that it can extend the life of your manis for at least 3 or 4 days. Since I'm impatient when it comes to my nails drying, I usually do a normal mani with basecoat, two coats of color and a topcoat like this:
 |
| 2 coats OPI Cosmo-not Tonight Honey, 1 Coat OPI Hollywood Blonde |
I wore this mani for 2 days. Last night I added Konad Image plate m73 and now it looks like this:

| Cosmo-Not Tonight/Hollywood Blonde, Konad plate m73 |
Since I waited for 2 days, the polish on my nails was totally dry. This lets me scrape the image off if I make a mistake. When I stamp on slightly wet polish (even with Poshe topcoat), the image is not able to be removed without removing all the layers of polish and starting over. I like to wait at least 20 minutes to apply topcoat over my stamped images. Then you want to make sure that you have a good amount of topcoat on your brush. I like to wipe one side against the bottle so I have a large drop of it on one side. This will keep your brush from touching the image, which will reduce color dragging.
Here are some other Konad designs I've tried:

| Konad plate m63, China Glaze Sea Spray |
