MoYou London Nail Stamping Plate Review and Tutorial

PRODUCT SAMPLE


Hello my loves, I am so sorry I haven't posted in a while. Things are really hectic here in the run up to Christmas.

I have another review of a MoYou London plate for you today. I did another review and video tutorial a few weeks ago which you can view here.

I used two polishes from my recent China Glaze haul to do this although you can barely see the colour difference but I can assure you in real life it was very noticeable.

To see how I did this look and to hear my full opinions on this plate please join me after the jump.

Bright Watercolour Effect Nail art

Hello my lovelies!
Been another stressful week, will I ever get used to the school routine?!

I have no idea what to call this nail art. Its bright and reminds me of slushed watercolour with perhaps an Indian sari type theme? I have no idea!
Well anyway here it is....

O.P.I Gradient and Stamping Nail Art

I recently bought some new O.P.I and thought I would do a little nail at with them!

I haven't bought any newer O.P.I's in a while but when I saw these lovely shades I just had to! I am in love in corals and pinky shades at the mo, which is strange as I used to hate orange or pink shades with a passion. I think I may have turned into a girl.


For this subtle gradient I used Sorry I am Fizzy Today and Live Love Carnival. Sorry I Am Fizzy Today doesn't have a great formula unfortunately. Its streaky and hard to apply and took three coats and I still wasn't happy, but I am willing to forgive as I LOVE this shade. It is unlike any other pinks I have.

They may look quite similar shades in my photos but as you can see in the bottle shot they really are different.
I then added some stamping using a MoYou stamping plate. Its an abstract design that reminds me of something you would see on an fabric from the 1980/1990's.

What do you think of this nail art? Have you tried any of these O.P.I shades?

Blue Flower Nail Art

Today I have some pretty stickers from Sparkly Nails to show you.

I really wanted to use my new Girly Bits polish called Cosmic Ocean so I used it over this LAME gradient. It is so much more noticeable in real life but pastels are my enemy! I can never get them to show their true colours!

Cosmic Ocean is so sexy. It makes a huge difference to the polish and mani overall. It gives it a blue iridescent glittery shimmer that really makes it pop!

I used BarryM Gelly in Guava with Blueberry sponged onto the ends. If you squint you may be able to see it!!

The stickers are very easy to apply, they are the spongy type of stickers. After I have applied the stickers I just top them off with a top coat. 

I think they go really well with the blues.

You can buy these stickers and other nail art bits HERE and you can check out Girly Bits HERE

Hope you are all having a good week so far!

Guest Post ~ Penguins Left Green Polish

Hey all!

Another guest post here for the lovely Jade :) poor girlie is feeling poorly, so what's the best medicine!? Lay in bed and watch as many TV shows as possible and have some lovely ladies who love to give a helping hand out with blog posts! WOOOP!

Hopefully Jade will be feeling better real soonsies :D!!!

I bought a new bottle of white polish recently since those colours seem to thicken and become a pain in the ass real quick! I decided to do a quick gradient on it to test out its durability and I am so impressed! LOL by white polish :D!!

I used light pastel colours for the gradient and topped it off with some fine glitter polish which I don't think its very visible...but its there trust me!

Here it is :)

The colours are very light and really blend nicely together :) I do like gradients but I dislike the clean up after!

What do you ladies think!?

Thank you Jade for having me again! :D get well soon! xox

Bye for now!

Holographic Splatter

 Here is some splatter nail art I did for the Nail Polish Lovers Weekly Challenge. 

I used two coats of Purple With A Purpose by OPI on the index and little finger, then used a make up sponge to layer on the Holographic Hero by Gosh to make a gradient. Then added studs from the Born Pretty store.

For the splatter I used Holographic Hero for the base, 2 coats. Then used a straw dipped in Purple With A Purpose and lightly blowed to create the splatter. 

*HINT* Cover your cuticles and surrounding skin with masking tape to minimize clean up.

I love this mani as it really catches the light. Massive fan of Holographic polishes!

Panda Skulls!

 These are the decals that were sent to me by Nail Delights. 

I chose to do a gradient using Sinful Colors Pistache and OPI's Don't Mess With OPI.

I Also used Kleancolors Peaceful Heart as the glitter. 

It was hard to get enough glitter for the effect that I wanted so this is about 3 coats. The problem i fine with Kleancolor glitters is that they don't self level so they leave an uneven finish. They remain silky and shiny to the touch but you can feel that they are not even. 

I love this panda design and i havent seen a decal like this before now. I chose to do green as it reminded me of bamboo. I also like the way the fade is subtle.

InVogue Desire & Feeling Fruity

 

 I was finding it hard to decide on a shade last night so in the end i just had a play with two of my new polishes from +Fragrance Direct 

These are InVogue Hi Res Feeling Fruity and Desire. Desire is the pink.

The glitter is SO beautiful and its very shimmery in the light and i especially love the fade.

I have tried to capture to glitter but its so hard!

The stamp is a Cheeky stamp from +Amazon.co.uk. Part of the Summer 2012 range

 

Leopard Nails,Roar!

I'm feeling feisty today so here are some gradient leopard print nails.

Ive never done free hand leopard print before and it was soo easy! Just use a dotting tool to place you main colour then draw black around in a broken circle.

I think i may have put too many actual print marks on though as they look a bit crowded?

Here's how i did it.....

Three coats of Essie-- Neo Whimsical

which doesn't give a complete streak less covering but it doesn't matter as Ill gradient over it.

Then do the gradient using a sponge, I literally used a washing up sponge, a brand new one obviously :P

I used Essie--Flawless

this also doesn't have to be super good as you'll be painting over the top.

Then add the print. I used Kleancolor--Neon Aqua for the blue and Barry M--Black for the outline.

Barry M polish was abit thin to be fair but its the only black i could find! Surprisingly as i own sooo much polish!

And that's it!
