i didn't really look at the bundt pan or the baking pans but the 9 inch one seemed to be a decent weight similar to ones i've bought before, i would think they'd hold up pretty well. the cupcake ones were a 6 hole and they seemed alright too.

It worked fine for me. Is it not transferring to the stamper or onto your nails?

Neither. How did you get it to work? I'm in the same boat as Caitie. :/

you have to work fast or else the nail polish kinda dries up. Dab some nail polish on the design that you want and scrape of the excess. Sometimes one side of the scraper works better than the other side. Stamp down with a little pressure on that design then stamp it to your nails. You might have rock it (not sure if that is the correct term to describe it) from one side to the other if the design is bigger. Cause you know how your nails isn't flat. There are a lot of videos on youtube that shows you how to do it.

The only difference is that some are slightly more sensitive therefore they could possibly give you a reading 2-3 days earlier (hcg doubles in the body each day once production begins so the longer yo wait the clearer the result). The ones used in the doctors office are a strip without all the silly packaging and they don't pay as much as the ones at the dollarstore per strip.

These confirmed my second and third pregnancies on the first day of mp.

Cheers,

They are actually more sensitive than most tests. One of the most sensitive you can buy. The only difference is you are more likely to get a dud test (where nothing will show up), but that happened to me on my first pg test ever and it was a $20 test! Only bought the $ store ones since and I've never had a problem with them.

Actually I figured out my problem. I didn't realize the blue film came off the plates! No wonder it wasn't working. I feel dumb. LOL :toothy9:

Thanks for your tips though!

I used the test to check some hcg spray I got from a compounding pharmacy (for the hcg diet) and it certainly detected the hormone.

Hi everyone,

I haven´t posted over the holidays so I thought now would be the time! So about the nail art stamping kits. I have two that I bought from Dollarama but am planning to give to others because I have the official kit. I previously posted a link with a list of all the nail polishes that work with the kits. Here is the link again: http://sassestampingstampede.wordpress.com/polish/ Yes, as another person posted remember to peel off the sticker that is on the plate before you use it, or it won't work. It's hard to see the sticker even as it is so well pasted on. Also, yes there are MANY tutorials on Youtube of how to use the kits properly. Since I do nail stamping a lot my recommendation is to "roll" the stamper over the design, so that it picks it up, and then roll the stamper with the design onto the nail. Here is a person who has great tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsl3UfM40Fs

Okay, someone else on here has asked if the Betty Crocker baking sheet is flimsy. I would say no. I just literally bought one. Here is the picture. It's as sturdy as all my other ones. Attachment 156654

I also came across this Quaker 10 pack variety pack of instant oatmeal. It expires in November. I double checked. Attachment 156655

Lastly I also came across some Wilton edible fondant sheets. There were 2 designs to choose from, if I remember correctly... Here is a picture for you: Attachment 156656

Other than that they had a bunch of Fisher Price containers, plates, spoons that I bought for my nieces.

I hope someone found this useful!

Enjoy!
