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.

Life in Lacquer Nail Art Challenge:INSPIRED BY TV OR FILM

Today's prompt is Inspired by TV or Film

This one took a lot of thinking!
I had so many ideas but I thought I would go with a TV program I have watched for years and years...

Eastenders, if you aren't aware, is a British soap that runs four days a week on the BBC. I chose to try and recreate the title image.....

Taken from Wikipedia. 

I obviously simplified it down alot. 

I used a base of Manhattan 106K and OPI Nein Nein Nein Okay Fine. I used my usual sponge splodging. I then added Dont Mess With OPI by OPI for bits of greenery.
I used acrylic paint to paint and highlight the Thames and create London Dome. Yes that white circle is supposed to be The Dome.... I told you I simplified it LOL

Moyou Nails Stamping Plate and Polish Review.

A couple day ago I was sent a lovely package from Moyou Nails. I had been waiting for a while and turned out my first one must have gone walkies. 

It contained 2 stamping plates, a gold stamping polish, a stamper and scraper. 

I haven't tried Moyou Nails before (not to be confused with Moyou London) but I liked the look of the designs I was sent.

Here's my first play....

The gold stamping polish is really good. It has like a glitter effect to it, its not just plain gold. It picked up really well and showed up great against the dark background. 

The base is Vant To Bite My Neck by OPI. 

The stamper and scraper work fine and pick up well but they are not what I would usually use as I prefer the Magno XL Stamper as it is squishy.

The only gripe I have about these plates is that the designs are not wide enough for me. I don't have wide nails particularly and usually the XL images are FAR too big so I am a tad confused as to why these design are so skinny.

That is why the middle finger design is different.... But that could have been intentional lol!

All in all I love the polish and it didn't smudge when top coated so I would recommend that but the stamps seem to small. They would be great for me personally for feature nails or something as they would never be wide enough for my thumb (and I suck at lining up two stamps lol) 

You can buy these stamps, polishes and other bits and bobs from HERE

My Final Christmas Nail Art!

Here is my final Christmas nail art for 2013!

I am hoping to wear this for Christmas day so I really bloody hope they don't chip. 

Here are the last cheesy Christmas tree photos... Enjoy!

I couldn't do a mani without the use of some texture could I?! Here's Zoya PixieDust in Chyna. I also used OPI Affair in Red Square. This is such and Christmas colour, it has this lush shimmer type metallic sheen. 

As you can see the stamping smudged a tad but when you look at it in real life you cant see it at all and I mean AT ALL. Its kind of annoying!

The stamping plates are all from the festive collection by MoYou London. 

I used the decal method for the Hollie. You can find a tutorial HERE 

Did you know I have written 180 posts this year? My first year of blogging! 

MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU LOVELY PEOPLE! 

Firework Nail Art

Ive not been around much lately.

I hope your all not missing me too much!! 

My nails have taken a battering... I have on broken my middle finger and the poor finger has developed some very sore skin :( 

But I have soldiered on and finally done some firework nail art!

These are stamped using the Festive Plate 5 by MoYou London. 

The base is Williamsburg by Color Club.

A lovely deep glitter blue and perfect coverage in two coats. 

I also used a pastel yellow, blue and white special stamping polish by Konad. 

How was your Bonfire Night? 

Did you get to see any fireworks?

Owl Stamping Nail Art

Something very strange must have happened as I have incredibly girly nails today! 

They have also had the chop! I have very curvy nails so after a certain length they look all silly!

For this I used OPI's Pink Friday as a base. My god was this streaky, I had an absolute nightmare getting this on. 

This is three coats.

 Dont get me wrong I love this colour but it infuriated me :(

The Owl is from a MoYou London stamping plate, filled in with OPI's Suzis Hungry Again and Fly. 

The black is Konad Special Polish. 

Over all I do like this but maybe next time I would choose different colours.

What do you think?

Marilyn Retro Inspired Nail Art

Today I have some retro inspired nails for you all. 

I received some new plates from MoYou at the weekend and have been having a play :) These designs are from plate Pro Plate 10. 

MoYou London have some of the best stamping plates I have ever seen and are releasing new ranges every Friday. Check them out HERE

The Marilyn didn't come out as well as I had hoped but in real life it looks super cool, just looks a bit funny up close LOL 

I was sent these beautiful bubble lips from Sparkly nails. They are flat back and easy to apply. I think they really set off the design! You can purchase them and other nail art bits HERE
