Hot Off The Stamping Press: MoYou London Sailor Collection & Sci-Fi Collection Expansion!

Hey stamparistas,


This time I'm just going to get right into it.  MoYou London is all set to release 4 new plates this week in a mashup they are calling Sailor vs Sci-Fi.  I got excited for a second because I thought it was really going to be be a true mashup of the themes across plates i.e. something like aliens underwater, something Sphere-quese, a bizarre horror sci fi combo?  Ok.  Let me pause because even as I write that I know there are very few ladies that would actually enjoy this kind of thing on their nails.  I am a weird and crazy exception.  Oh well I love horror movies and sci-fi these things can't be helped.  Nevertheless I was very intrigued by this concept of putting together a collection I have always loved, the Sailor Collection, with one I have been at times overly conflicted about, The Sci-Fi Collection.  So let's see what MoYou came up with.



What's she's got animated gif's now too? Lol let me stop this is how MoYou announced the mashup.  I do think it looks cool though!

Stellar stellar plate! Has there ever been a time when I didn't love anything from the Sailor Collection? The answer is no.  I want this one quite badly. I hope they make a smaller version too with the light tower!

I have a lot of plates like this right now.  I mean the underwater theme plates.  I love them all! Every single one is unique and this one is no exception.  I will note though I think the turtle is a touch on the over large size to fit nicely into a scene.

Sci-fi plates have left me once again with a mixed sentiment.  For one I think it's nearly impossible to compare the "landscape/scenic/infinity" plates to the individual image ones.  The landscape ones nearly always win because they are cohesive.  As this is a smaller nails plate too I don't feel as excited.  I like the bottom row 3rd image from the left and the top row 4th image from the left.  The rest I'm kinda meh about.

They included the top image that I loved on the other plate and added molecules.  I like those images while the rest are the same as the above plate and aren't necessarily my cup of tea.

What do you think? In a battle I'd have to say the Sailor Collection crushed the Sci-Fi Collection.  It was almost a no contest lol!  Does anyone else feel the same as I do about these Sci-Fi plates? I feel like this collection is so hit and miss for me. These plates will be available Friday on the MoYou London website.  In a bit of crazy awesome news shipping to the US is now free for a limited time (and no I don't know when that will stop).  Use the code "Tamira10" to save 10% off your next purchase if you haven't already.  Happy hunting and see you next post...
