Simply Neat Manicure Mat - Silicone Manicure Mat for Stamping and Nail Art

I wanted one of these, and specifically wanted one with the cups for liquids. This is a great quality product that I would recommend to anyone who's into lots of nail art and experimenting with their nails. It saves your workspace from huge messes and can make the actual art process simpler too. You can use it to make decals. Reverse stamping techniques. Mix colors. Pick up loose gems/glitters. Practice nail designs. Practice stamping. You name it. It's silicone (I think) and squishy and rubbery feeling. So it has the adhesion to help with messes but is easy to clean. Nail polish remover or acetone work perfectly. And if you use regular acrylic paints for your nail designs, this is perfect for that too, it makes the water cleanup even easier...just wipe off! I'm really a fan of this mat. The idea is brilliant. This particular one has lots of options for playing with your designs and products on the mat before messing with your own hands! And the cups for liquids are one of my fave things. The nail guides for decals and designs are very nice, and good sized...and there's enough for more than an entire set of designs! (There's 14 regular and 2 pinky and 2 thumb sized guides) and they are all very generously sized. Also, the stamp testing area is cool...black and white squares. It has printed instructions and ideas on it. And the entire thing is surrounded by a guide rim, near the edge...like the circles for liquid...so that if you did have a mishap with spilled polish or remover or something, it could contain it for you before ever hitting the table! How cool. It really is pretty awesome. LOTS​ of possibilities. I'm so glad I finally got it. I would recommend any nail art enthusiast or pro to buy one! It's truly a great and helpful item in the nail art world. I love this thing! I'm including a picture of the mat: in the package, size reference, closeups, etc.

A HUGE upgrade from spreading out clean trash bags on my desk, both in terms of ease of setup/cleanup, and protection for my work area. The lips around the edge of the mat and the little round palette areas are high enough to keep in acetone and polish while still short enough to easily roll up the mat for storage (something I wasn't sure competitors with a built-in cup would allow). I also appreciate the written guidelines on the mat, which are instructive without being too intrusive, (and remind me not to freak out whenever the mat "bubbles" under my polish). In the images you can see my first try at creating my own nail decal with the mat -- not perfect, but gives you an idea of how easy the mat makes it, so long as you make sure to clean the area before you put down your initial topcoat. Very cool, and very easy to peel up polish, both for nail art and for cleanup. The silicon arrived well-packaged, blemish-free, and laid flat on my desk with no problem. Very reasonably priced too, a great purchase overall!

I’ve had this for almost a year now and can’t speak highly enough about this particular mat (I ordered another brand around the same time that offered a BOGO deal). If you’re one to do nail art then it really is a must. Not only is it a great “protector” as far as covering whatever surface you’re using, but you can also practice on it and simply wipe away your design with an acetone soaked cotton ball. If you’re into nail stamping, this mat is perfect. The little “finger” grids for making “decals” is, imo, perfect for getting your design to fit your nails (other mats offer a nail shape that lacks any realistic sizing reference) especially if you cover the whole grid with clear polish and just stamp it as you like with the desired image. All you need to lift the “decal” is an orange stick. Another great benefit of this mat is how easily it cleans up. Just wipe with acetone and you’re done. For any stubborn stains simply moisten a cloth with splashless beach (the gel stuff) and your mat is practically brand new once again. Another thing which I noticed is - this mat (unlike the other I purchased) did not retain the fold or crease the other one I bought has. It’s completely flat after shipping. No matter how much I tried to flatten the other one it still has a crease/fold from shipping and it can defeat the purpose if creating art. So, for all the nail artists and amateur manicurists out there - this is a useful purchase you won’t be disappointed with.

As a licensed nail tech I've been looking for something for a long time to help me with my artwork in a fast and clean manner. This mat nailed it. The Pros: Durable Easy to clean Can do artwork ahead of time Multiple purposes Easy to measure grids The Cons: There is way to much writing printed on this Acetone dries up incredibly quick although it's printed you can use the round pieces for it 🌟 and this one I have a bit of a love hate for, the edges on the outside are a bit in the way. I am a big nail stamper and use large plates and the edges can get in the way sometimes, j do love them in the circle though because they do hold small nick nacks well and also great for water marbling. Over all this is the best quality Mat you can get out there right now and to be honest this is still such a new product that I think if Bliss Kiss read everyone's reviews online they could very easily revamp this may and come back with an even better version!

great thanks
