World of The Worlds feat MoYou London Artist Collection Nail Art

Hey lacquer ladies,

I'm really loving my new MoYou London plates!  They are even more beautiful and more versatile than I realized.  Today I have a mani I created for their Facebook contest.  It's all kinds of involved and took me an obscene amount of time to put together because I kept changing the base colors, but the final result was well worth the effort.  I should tell you though even as cool as this came out I didn't win any accolades or free plates.  Lol guess I'll have to keep trying!

I can't tell you how much detailing I put in with acrylic paints.  This is advanced technique stamping because I first stamped then filled in my images as I desired and then restamped over those details.  I'm particularly proud of how well the center 2 nails came out.  Believe it or not they were the easiest ones to create the outer two designs nearly killed me.

I had a lot of difficulty creating the space ship.  I changed the base to co behind this polish about a trillion times.  In hindsight I feel as though I should have stamped it on a black base and made it silver after all.  I actually ended up layering with slight crossover silver and black stamps of the space ship in duplicate and then stamping down the lightning bolts.


 So I finally took one of the full plate designs out for a spin.  They are not technically difficult to use at all.  You need to be able to pull out the elements of the design in each segment you like and retranslate it onto your nail.  I'm working on a MoYou tutorial right now to show you ladies what I mean when I say that and also that there is nothing wrong with these plates.  For some reason or the other some ladies in my stamping groups and instagram are struggling.  Again I don't get a red penny from MoYou in fact they get all my red pennies, but these are some of the highest quality plates I own! Some of them do however require a little finesse and in all honesty I really believe these plates especially the full image plate ones would be more challenging to the new stamper i.e. someone who hasn't used a variety of plates across many brands using many different polishes.

So thoughts?  This one was a doozy! I'm going to keep working with these plates with the aim of one day winning a design contest.  Honestly the winning design was spectacular! Really beautiful so that gives me something to look forward to.  In any case upward and onward to the next mani.  After the difficulty of this one I'm scaling down a bit for the next few posts just keeping it clean and simple.  Thanks so much for reading and I'll see you next post!

  4. Loving your Blog as I just got my first 19 MoYou London plates- and already have 30 more in my shopping cart! They are incredible. I would love some elaboration on your comment about newbies using them as that is ME- and I have struggled a bit on attempting to create a stamping gallery with a stamp of each image. I am thinking that though my regular polishes do stamp well that stamping polishes may be in order for these- what do you think?

    1. Thank and congrats! Regarding the difficulty of the plates comment it's not really something that needs elaboration. I just think any plate with the infinity style designs will be harder for someone new to stamping to think about how to place and create designs for these plates. The single images I think would be rather easy peasy. The more experience you are the easier ti will be to stamp. Polishes that aren't designed to stamp always acquire a higher degree of skill in terms of speed and precision because they dry faster and aren't designed for that purpose. HTHs and welcome to my blog :)
