Today I'm going to share the latest set of <a href="http://www.moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">MoYou London</span></a> releases that have managed to pile up unmentioned on the blog lately. I have to say the last four releases have been so different and unique and this might be what I see as MYL's most creative branching out of concepts in a long while! I'm not going to patter on too much but go ahead and dive in with just a brief mention that today is the last day you can take advantage of a 15% off saving on the Christmas category of plates I'll place the code for that below and otherwise proceed with the gushing and drooling of the newest offerings.<br />

<br />
All I can say is me-ooow! So many of us "nail ladies/nail bloggers" are in fact crazy cat ladies. You regularly see us picking little hairs out of our fresh manicures, encourage our little loves to select our color of the day, and sometimes if the little beasties are very lucky named after a custom creation. And so of course naturally it makes all the sense in the world to finally see a collection of stamping plates dedicated to not only our little companies but our obvious obsession with our little feline babies. <br />
<br />
And so our first introduction to this collection features kawaii petite images of tiny kitties in boxes, pounces, hiding in donuts, peeking around circles, and also showing little heart & fishbone accents. This plate doesn't really blow you away but its heaps and heaps of cute.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoP0PJV_c98JUqx7dxRllptiQufMH8Br9fHkkT6jmMEcf8RDmWChARGk_QyE2hrdgVL9uN7tzD7opFUhwbFLmwtceMkDf7YOiuhCQpOu7MIdub-7Jq0qDWTbM6fYF9zkiHLWqdikrbcvQ/s1600/62.-Crazy-Cat-Lady-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoP0PJV_c98JUqx7dxRllptiQufMH8Br9fHkkT6jmMEcf8RDmWChARGk_QyE2hrdgVL9uN7tzD7opFUhwbFLmwtceMkDf7YOiuhCQpOu7MIdub-7Jq0qDWTbM6fYF9zkiHLWqdikrbcvQ/s640/62.-Crazy-Cat-Lady-02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Our 2nd plate sort of follows more of that same pattern of cute but now we get some typography that is equally adorable. The image I gravitate toward the most here is that of the tiny little paws. Again I'm not blown away here, but there is just so much adorable imagery that's its hard to say - meh. At the very least for those of us that are cat people these are absolutely wishlistable plates. P.S. The tiny kitties that show little boy balls from behind are just so freaking hilarious to me!<br />
<br />

<br />
The collection sort of takes a strong turn in a different direction halfway through. Where at first the plates were more playful and cute the next couple now seem to be elegant & more beauty focused. Suddenly we see more florals & cats in elegant repose, and these happen to of all the crazy cat lady plates. I can actually see wearing these images with more floral patterns from the Flower Power Collection and having it look gasp beautiful as opposed to laughable.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And of course no MYL Collection is complete without that "bigger is better" concept where we get the same images but in XL size. I an't help but find the hidden kitty image on the far right bottom row so cool! It's a super unique image that I have to say I've never seen before across any plates or prior design.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWOJoAMmhRx-DXLsPK9GtGMnVEmJClKNgCdCopwMuBsyARr9bWPULu7JVjboKONzm8X6JCtoO6aWbG-ifIkZaKaBvxd8KkY0kItBIMZlXy2KNfh5Mpxsl9Fw7IwZS6I905KZHV7JeWggw/s1600/62.-Crazy-Cat-Lady-05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWOJoAMmhRx-DXLsPK9GtGMnVEmJClKNgCdCopwMuBsyARr9bWPULu7JVjboKONzm8X6JCtoO6aWbG-ifIkZaKaBvxd8KkY0kItBIMZlXy2KNfh5Mpxsl9Fw7IwZS6I905KZHV7JeWggw/s640/62.-Crazy-Cat-Lady-05.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The last two plates in this collection are sort of reminiscent of the Hipster Collection pandas in suits and pugs etc. I actually never really cared for those plates and I have to say the same phenomenon is happening here. This is because I don't really care for the anthropromorphosizing of animals by putting them in clothing etc. If I'm 100% honest it sort of grosses me out and I definitely don't care to have those kinds of images floating around on my nails. Picture me cringing here I'm sorry but if that's your thing no harsh judgement toward you. <br />
<br />
The exception here is here for me is the kitty astronaut. That's the only image I really like here, but even that is not enough to make me want to purchase these last two plates. But obviously this is a to each their own kinda deal. If you like this style you'll go for it, but if you don't there are plenty more delicious releases from MYL to choose from ;)<br />

I'd say about the last two years or so we've seen a pick up in the number of plates featuring crystals or rocks or jewels especially around the "festival" themed plates. In fact MYL already has a few plates that feature these images once again coming from the highly eclectic Hipster Collection. Honestly if you want to talk about a set of beautiful plates featuring this imagery this is it. Not only do you have some beautiful geometric imagery here, but I also see a bit of the Henna Collection style images, and a few creeping images that remind me of the Minimal Collection. This plate also features a few floral solo images as well. And so you should know in any plate that has this many geometric inspired clean but also complex images that I am going to be a fan. I adore this plate and I appreciate that the designers also managed to sneak in a bit of typography as well!<br />

In case you didn't know or just remember snowflakes are also a type of crystal as well and so it makes perfect sense that we should see an entire plate paying homage to each individual beauty. And as my long time readers my know I love and adore snowflakes too. I own a lot of plates featuring these beauties and every year it seems I add more to my collection. So of course I love this plate and of course I own it as well. Its beautiful, but if you already own a lot of snowflake plates & don't fancy them nearly as much as I do it may not be an entirely indispensable plate to have in your collection though it is definitely wishlistable.<br />

This plate feels very Christmasy snowflakes with diamonds and nested sweater-esque patterns combined with snowflakes and few abstracts. I have to say I really liked every plate in this collection. So much that when I saw them on sale during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales I scooped up the entire collection!<br />

This feels slightly Russian in inspiration an also reminds me of the Designer Series plates from DRK which I love. This one is another winner for me! Also I sort of get a Doodles Collection feel from this plate as well. Lol. This is a collection that obviously sought inspiration from a lot of different sources within the MYL catalog.<br />

Finally we see MYL's offering for the Christmas season, and its overwhelmingly the feeling of intarsia sweaters featuring a variety of winter familiar patterns that can be stamped full nail or freestanding. I have personally never took a huge shining to any stamping plates featuring the intarsia patterns though I love knitting them, but this plate is quite charming and for someone who doesn't own many or really any of these patterns would be a nice inclusion to the collection. Now for those who may have been waiting or wanting to scoop up a few more holiday plates you can save 15% off the entire <a href="https://moyou.co.uk/collections/christmas" target="_blank">Christmas collection</a> of MYL plates using the code 'XMAS15'. Btw these plates include a few more plates from collections than you might think - Festive, Animal, Crystal, Fashionista, Scandi, Enchanted, and more. You can find all these plates retailing for the new list price of 6.99 GBP or the old list price of 5.99GBP on the <a href="http://www.moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank">MoYou London website</a>. Thanks for reading and happy hunting. See you next post!<br />

Who's excited for Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Small Business Saturday & Christmas? I'm trying to get amped up. Obviously I didn't get to post much of my Halloween nail art despite creating a lot of it so be prepared as the month rolls onward to see some untimely spooky nail art lol. I've just decided there's no point to being super stringent on myself and these timelines. I have to work with a body that is adjusting to things and in many ways in still unbelievably ill. The week before last I even had surgery which sort of threw me into another health tailspin. So I'm just going to post as I will for whatever holiday. And as it happens I'm starting anew with Christmas. This mani I'm sharing was actually going to be a 4 part video tutorial of Christmas Simples. However that kind of mega post & video edit requires some serious stamina which I am severely lacking. Instead I'm going to break them apart and post them a solo. Let's start with <a href="http://www.uberchicbeauty.com/" target="_blank">UberChic Beauty</a> who I have the very real pleasure of working with.<br />

<a name='more'></a>Simples are really for lacqueristas who are pretty busy and just want to create beautiful nails without too much fuss. You can also take each simple including my upcoming designs and create a skittles effect across each nail thought that would take it right away from a simple style mani and back to a more complex look requiring more plates and products for each look but hey whatever floats your boat!<br />

This was one of the first Cirque polishes I ever purchased aside from those holo glitter duochromy ones she released that SimplyNailogical did the geode art with, and the whole reason I bought it was because I literally could not look away from the swatches<br />

Honestly I'd probably own more Cirque polishes but they are a bit on the pricey side and unfortunately whenever I have to choose between polish and stamping paraphernalia stamping always wins including of course stamping polishes! What amazes me is that year after year there are new innovations in stamping and for someone who's been stamping as long as I have that's saying something.<br />

I also recall around last year thinking that regardless of whether the trend for duochrome goes out of style or not I will never not love these powders, but luckily this year it appears they have continued to hang about ironically in another obsession I had long before they became repopularized - magnetics. This last year appears to have been the year of duochrome magnetics. I haven't shown many here after all having been in and out of the hospital its been tough to keep up, but I did manage to scoop a few that are cool as this 4 way color shifting Didspade pigment above. I mean look at those shifts this is why I will always love these. I'd definitely supply you the links to purchase them as well but I've never found them again under 5g size and roughly $75. That's far too much for some nail powder no matter how gorgeous. Luckily there is plenty of competition on the market and the alternatives I listed are equally beautiful!<br />

These could be made a bit more complex as well by stamping down a straight bar line and then that could also be powdered to create a more "present-like" effect however at the time when I created this nail art it was intended to be the simplest of a 4 part series of simple christmas nail art. Btw I will still release the series of four but singly instead of in one fat video.<br />

So what do you think? Despite the simple nature of these nails I really think this is a lovely way to kick off my christmas season. Also I'm sure Holly Jolly will be on sale this year and if you haven't purchased it yet I definitely wouldn't hesitate to scoop it this year. I'm sure there will be a Black Friday special to say the least where you can grab it up. You can find that plate and more including the newest holiday plates on the <a href="http://www.uberchicbeauty.com/" target="_blank">UberChic Beauty</a> website. In any case stay tuned. I actually really do have a lot of old footage of christmas tutorials to share and I'm so disappointed with my Halloween performance. I'm going to try to post as much as possible over this holiday period! <br />

<a name='more'></a>Meet Art Deco Flair - if you loved the original Art Deco plate as much as I did you're gonna love this one! I have no shame in saying I looked right at these patterns and then started drooling. Listen you all know I'm a sucker for abstract patterns but I have a particular weakness for the patterns of the 1920's. Those clean nested lines & beautiful array of choices. Gah - if you don't have this plate you better be scooping it up or adding to your wishlist for the holidays! I'll add that despite having multiple Art Deco inspired plates this one is incredibly novel in terms of patterns which is getting tougher & tougher to accomplish these days.<br />

Culture Rich - I like to think of these plates as "MYL Explorer" meets Abstract perfection. The best part about this plate is how these complex patterns allow for very simple stamping while leaving the nail looking endlessly creative. Even a single color or a gradient with these patterns will seem gorgeous!<br />

Moroccan Delight. Brittany had personally told me that her last Moroccan plate from which I created that bomb ass stained glass mani was super popular. This is the follow up and who's guessing this one is going to be equally popular? These patterns are absolutely beautiful! I do see a few patterns that are reminiscent of the Designer Series from DRK Nails however there were only ever 2 plates in that series which was unfortunate IMO given how wonderfully abstract and different they were which is why I'm stoked to see someone picking up the torch of those traditional patterns once again.<br />

And finally Happy Christmas another in the UC series of Christmas plates. I have absolutely always been a sucker for Christmas plates as ever and this one is adorable as the prior releases. My favorite images here are the gingerbread layered house, all the pine branch images, the snowglobe, and all the full length nail gingerbread men image. Even if you are maxed out on Christmas plates this one can hit your wishlist with no qualms.<br />

I saved one of the best for last. Unless you've been under a rock you noticed that UberChic Beauty had added a Lifestyle section to her enterprise. Recall those holo wallets, sunglass cases, & totes. Now she has also added a holo water thermos and its absolutely gorgeous! Personally this is probably one of the most useful items she's released for me thus far. I guzzle down water constantly & own an assortment of bottles for the cause but this is the prettiest I've seen by a mile!<br />

Also I love that this is stainless steel & double walled keeping hot and cold drinks at their temperatures 12 and 24 hours respectively. My only wish is that it was 1L rather than 750mL but I can live with it! This pretty lady retails for $45 but given the quality that's fair.<br />

As I start thinking about Halloween I ALWAYS ALWAYS immediately go and suss out the latest creations from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sugarbubblesnailsart/" target="_blank">Sugar Bubbles</a>. Why? Vivi is a genius at melding creepy, classic, and cute! I love her plates and have collected them for years and my favorite time of year to break out Sugar Bubble plates in particular are the Halloween & Christmas. So of course I went a spying to see what Vivi had created over my health related absence. I saw that she released plates in both January and May of 2018 so let's catch up with those with the thought that its likely she is getting ready to drop another plate or two as she does annually around Halloween.<br />

<a name='more'></a>Beach bunny bingo complete with waves ;)! Lol I think this plate is very different from the aesthetic I'm used to seeing from Sugar Bubbles. I don't mean that as a bad thing I think actually its good. She is sort of expanding out her range and while this definitely has a summery tropical vibe its a fresh take from other platemakers out there. These images have more of a cartoonish vibe than the realistic one which we see more commonly I love the back to the beach image, wave, and lemon slices in particular!<br />

They call it puppy, sushi, cacti love? LOL! Ok look at the tiny little person inside the tiny little dinosaur costume. That is so ridiculously cute! The piled up bears, smiley cacti, kitty in a banana, etc - this plate literally kills me with its adorableness. This is one of the sweetest plates I have ever seen in my life!<br />

Kawaii kawaii kitties - especially the paws! I try not to be like I'd say 65% of all of us nail bloggers and become a crazy cat lady along with a crazy nail polish lady but I do really adore kitties. I don't have any pets. I've been waitlisted for a hedgehog for a bit but otherwise I don't have any little companions to share my home with. Honestly before I became ill I was really very rarely home because of the schedule my training left me with. At times I was working upwards of 36 hours straight for call and then coming home to pass out. That's really not a good schedule to have and also own a pet. Therefore I have a little hidden spot for plates and items that show little cuties squishy lovies. I would love to have a puppy - french bulldog terrier or pug preferentially, but until then I'll just have to settle for my love affair with adorable plates like this.<br />

I can see this sort of being a hit for Valentines Day. For me this plate is a touch basic however if you don't have these types of images in your collection because they are basic they would be a useful addition to a well rounded collection.<br />

Lovely lace! Something about these images feels very french tip-ish if that makes sense and I really like it. It feels like the whole point of the designs here is so that the user can make some really funky and cool layered lace looks mainly because of how the designs are laid out. I find that pretty awesome an so of course this immediately went on my drool worthy I want it now wishlist ;)<br />

The Little Prince. I'm not sure how many of you grew up with this story as a child. I read it when I was a little older but still it reminds me fondly of being a little kid reading in the bottom of my moms' walk in closet. My favorite part of these stories was how simplistic the illustrations were. I spent hours tracing and practicing how to draw the characters and because the illustrations were so clean I actually got fairly good at it! For that reason alone I'd want this plate.<br />
<br />

<br />
Ok this is either The Dark Crystal or The Labyrinth whichever are movies that I grew up with as a child. I'm leaning toward The Labyrinth only because I see David Bowie and what looks like an early Jennifer Connely in the etched characters. There is also what looks like Hedwig which is weird and the Beetlejuice transformed bug? Maybe its just a smorgasbord of Hansen 80's classics. Regardless its pretty cool to see these kinds of images appear on stamping plates. I'd have to ask Vivi to be certain.<br />

I have no idea what these little dollies are, but they are cute. They do remind me ever so slightly of the sort of porcelain fashion dolls that have become quite popular in the last few years. I'm just gonna say there are women who love dolls and women who do not. Personally I've sort of always found dolls to be ever so slightly creepy. Mainly due to the hidden malice I imagine in their lifeless eyes. So yeah....<br />

This is what I mean when I say Vivi has a balance between goth cute creepy that is very rare and unique. I love her designs! These are somewhat classic images and yet she has made them super fresh and cool. That black widow is so nasty its nice lol.<br />

Well hello my lover! Yeeeeesssss ok let me just say it if you are rocking anything remotely related to Tim Burton you are coming for my heart. I think I talked about this plate already in my Halloween favorites for the year. I really love this one as a Beetlejuice, NBC, Corpse Bride mashup!<br />

Finally the last plate in the release is a dedication to all things zombie awesome including a retro Michael Jackson zombie from Thriller! Good god this plate is brilliant I haven't seen anything like it which is tough to pull of these days when there are so very many Halloween plates around! <br />
<br />
Now Sugar Bubbles can be tough to find stateside but my two favorite sites for her plates are <a href="https://beautometry.com/" target="_blank">Beautometry</a> & <a href="https://www.lanternandwren.com/" target="_blank">Lantern & Wren</a>. These plates usually retail somewhere around $9 each on those sites. Other resellers can be found on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sugarbubblesnailsart/" target="_blank">Sugar Bubbles Facebook</a> page. So any must haves in the bunch? Even if its late I always get her Halloween releases! Happy hunting, thanks for reading, & I'll see you next post!<br />

<a href="http://www.moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank">MoYou London</a> has released a few more plates over this month for both Halloween and just in general. I have to say the Halloween plates were brilliantly done as was the Sailor Expansion. I've never really been a fan of the Fashionista Collection, but I'm sure their latest creation coming from that set will sell well given that its focused on paisley which has been very popular of late on plates along with plaid.</div>

Plates with large block out images and segments of the nail have been so inspiring for me of late. This plate was so brilliant to begin with when I saw it I knew immediately that I had to have it and so I did. The waves are interestingly something I have seen on a "non-brand"/chinese brand that I will be reviewing on the blog shortly. They have some really innovative and interesting designs and as far as I know they were the first to create these wave images like this with a layered effect. If you can believe it theirs are even more intricately done & beautiful as a result. However in terms of balance and multiple utility the MYL is in a league of its' own. Again in case you missed it - I love this plate!</div>

I can tell I'm getting old now because I'm starting to see fashion recycle the way my mum said it recycled for her when she was a younger mum & I was a little kid. For instance as I said plaid is literally everywhere on the runways of NYFW this year both in large full garments as well as accessories. Along with that deconstruction aka "grunge" is making a major comeback. So essentially I can here the early 90's a la Kurt Kolabain calling. Lol and its in that vein that we see the arrival of a paisley plate from the MYL Fashionista collection. However I recall them having a paisley style plate in tis collection before in both Fashionista 06 (broader larger pattern) and then Fashionista 11 again with very large bold sizing so this last one is a bit more modest with smaller details and much more intricate in terms of patterning. This is the most recent release but IMO I feel like the Festive expansion was the best and hence I saved it for last ;)<br />

Of the three plates released for Halloween this year this is IMO the weakest only because we have seen several of these elements across so many brands now i.e. spiderwebs, tiled ghosts, candies. However even as the weakest of the three this plate feels quite fresh mainly i think because of the typography and also that they chose to do mixing and matching within the full nail images. The typography is also fresh because each is so different along with the little accents all of which are sort of in the scary cute vein. Favorite image here is the skull and crow accent bar none!<br />

Hello beautiful! This plate sold out so quickly no the MYL website. I will say they are guilty of this every year. First I think announcing their holiday plates later than they should & second not producing enough to keep up with the demand for the season. This plate is awesome and an example of one of the few MYL direct pop icon interpretations i.e. Wendy from The Addams Family. I did it an I love all the other little girl characters around her. And once again the typography and the little accents also add so much freshness and beauty to this plate globally. I wanted this plate immediately but I couldn't really justify it especially since MYL UK site has increased the free international shipping threshold to 80 GBP. At a minimum that means I'm paying for the new "secret" price hike on the plates plus shipping unless I spend 80 GBP which let me tell you I won't be spending anytime soon. By the time I scrounged up enough to grab these they were sold out almost everywhere.<br />

I love this one! It reminds me of a typography plate that was released a while back which sort of looked like a Ouija board. I love the gothic looking moths, crystals, the mystic cat and symbols. This plate has so many beautiful details its hard to know where to look first. Anyway I loved this Halloween expansion from MYL more than any other I've seen from them in the last few years. Every single plate is actually gorgeous and you can tell I'm not the only one thinking it because all three of these plates sold off of the main MYL website fairly quickly especially when they posted the simultaneous Halloween sale.<br />
<br />
So what do you think of the new expansions from MoYou? All new releases are retailing for 6.99GBP with shipping stateside as described above on the <a href="http://www.moyou.uk.co/" target="_blank">MoYou London website</a>. Older plates are still retailing for 5.99GBP and this is a great time to take of their sale and grab so of the 50% items especially if you live in the EU or Britain the polishes are such a good deal. If they weren't so expensive to ship I'd be all over them myself! Alrighty happy hunting, thanks so much for reading, and I'll see you next post!<br />

I'm really trying to get my blog and other social media switched over to the spook-tacular mood of Halloween. As you know my health has been pretty crummy and what I have found is its also slowed me down so tremendously. Filming, photographing, etc is taking me longer than I had anticipated but despite that I still want to try and make this October special and share all the nail art & creations I've thought of with you. Its one of my favorite holidays and its always bummed me out that I haven't been able to use as many of my plates as I would like. This year I want to do as much as possible so I started with a galaxy look. I know this is definitely not classic Halloween but I also wanted to think about looks that would go with specific costumes and when I was playing around with my plates this sort of came together. Its very funky & very non-traditional and I hope you like it!<br />

I know this look isn't going to be for everyone but I have to say this is one of the funkiest nail arts I've ever created. Something about the interaction of the foil and the black chrome was just wild. It captured so much more beautifully on the video I think. And honestly after yesterday and the way the news has been I really needed to focus on something more uplifting than what's currently happening in our government here in the US.<br />

Every time I use foils I forget how much I love foils and then I think I need to break them out more frequently. Also I have so many freaking MYL plates that are untried! In fact in general I have too many untried plates. I wish I had the willpower to ban myself but that's never gonna happen so instead I need to make more effort to use plates I haven't used before. That will be easy enough for Halloween for sure.<br />

So what do you think? Depending on the angle of my nails you get the shifting of the foil and the black chrome. I think this wound up looking so different from anything I've ever created. So what do you think? I also had the thought that the foil inside the black chrome looks sort of like paua shell as well. If you want to recreate this look the products and links to them are above. I also put up my new LED lamp after my old one randomly broke and I have to say I love this one so much more! Its got an automatic sensor and preset timers and has a higher wattage which allows me faster cure. Maybe I'll post a review at some point though I'm not sure other people really like gel nails or UV lor LED lamps which I primarily use for nail art purposes and so I've come to love them.<br />

Its been a quiet week so I must apologize. I haven't been feeling very well this last week and instead my bones have been shaking & quaking and causing me more & more problems as the week progressed until yesterday when I could barely move around in my home and ended up sleeping most of the day and taking medications. I'm finally starting to feel a little bit better today so I thought I better get my my annual favorites for Halloween post up since unbelievably its already the 24th of September! Last year I did an updated post from my very first Halloween favorites back in 2014 (wow - ancient!) and this year I thought I would continue the tradition and show you some new plates that have caught my eye and made me go yes please! Some you will have to get on the ball to order immediately if they are going to make it to you in time, but trust when I say they will be UTTERLY worth it.<br />

Let me start by saying MdU is a brand more known for stamping polishes than stamping plates, and I think that's going to gradually start to change. Last year Slyvia, the owner & creator, released a set of Nightmare Before Christmas plates set around Jack The Pumpkin King that left my mind blown. Like this year I did not see them until late in September & because it is an international purchase I got them late in October & didn't have a chance to play with them as I wanted to for Halloween. I had decided to save them for Christmas, but as you all know now I became profoundly ill & really hadn't touched my plates up until more recently.<br />
<br />

This plate is perhaps my favorite of the entire group! For those of you that don't know I am a massive massive fan of Tim Burton particularly his stop-motion animation films. They are agony to make, require incredible attention to detail and as a result require oodles of time to film. I think its this special attribute more than anything else that makes me love these movies - they are literally a labour of love. For the hardcore fans you'll note the presence of Coraline here which while certainly a stop-motion animation is not a Burton film, but when this plate has the brilliantly stretched faces of Adam & Barbara from Beetlejuice on full display literally wtf cares?!? I'm so in love with this plate its ridiculous. This has so many great references including Frankenweenie which I have never seen on any plate - I need this now - you need this now!<br />

You guys may remember I posted an iteration of this plate before from back in the day when the images were tiny and made on the old Handy plates. Its not that the images weren't nice but they were so small they were frustrating to use. I'm hopeful that with this plate the images will be much larger & more satisfactory. I mean I need that Beetlejuice & Lydia floating head to be larger so you can actually see what's happening on the nail!<br />

<br />
Same explanation as above. I wanted these images in a larger size than what the old Handy plates offered particularly given all the images of Jack & Sally!<br />

This plate is what I call a little sampler. You could literally create about 20 different looks using characters on this plate as anchoring imagery. Plus I am literally LOVING all the Snoopy, Garfield & Hello kitty images! Halloween is just such a fun holiday along with Christmas because so many of my favorite nail art images comes from this day. Casper the Friendly Ghost is a character I haven't seen in ages. Honestly this is such a lovely plate!<br />

I solemnly swear I am up to no good! Yaaaaaassss! Y'all know there isn't a Harry Potter plate I can resist. I'm of the opinion that they just keep getting better and better and these platemakers are crushing it. Some of the first images and plates I have with HP themes are so basic when I look back and compare its insane. Recall my Apipila manicure from nearly 5 years ago they barely had the HP typography. Yet these are so detailed - just look at the faces! Plus the best part of HP plates along with NBC plates? They double up for Christmas!<br />
<br />

<br />
And it just gets better and better! The typography is brilliant and I love this iteration of the sorting hat which I've never seen before plus we get all the house emblems! This plate literally tried to fit so many themes in as well including Harry playing quidditch and its done with such aplomb! I will admit a few of these do overlap slightly with some imagery from BBF Nail Art's HP plates such as Harry, Hermoine, Ron & Professor Snape but I keep seeing those faces everywhere. Most of these images are though pretty fresh.<br />

I am a horror movie buff! Not only do I love watching them at home with all the lights out and set with a creepy mood, but I actively look for great films coming out around Halloween for maximum fright. On top of this I really love the makeups that are created for some of these classic horrror movies so when I see Freddy Kruger, the Scream mask, Annabel, Hannibal, the Grudge girl, etc etc I get so excited! They even got the Nun in aka Valek from the Conjuring universe (as is Annabelle if you know your stuff)! I'll just leave it here....7 days......P.S. Who is excited to see the new Friday The 13th? Ugh its going to be epic!<br />
<br />
So I realized I committed the ultimate sin last year and didn't share the Jack plates?!?!? I was looking back at my post & I was like how did that happen! The only thing I can think of is that maybe they weren't released yet when I released the post? Gack!<br />

Darling be still my heart! These plates are absolutely fabo! Plus we get a little more Beetlejuice imagery on the first plate including a chibi version of the main character that gives me the a serious case of the giggles...Can you hear the theme song yet?<br />

This is clearly the more x-masy plate of the 3 with Jack frolicking in snow, but nevertheless they are ALL awesome and so perfect for Halloween. These plates all retail for the insanely reasonable price of $3.50 and I can attest to the quality of these since I own them. Plus right now MdU has a 10% code for those placing orders on her new website "NEWSITE1O" that you can use to accrue even more savings! While you're over there I'd definitely scoop up some of her polishes too which are bar non my favorite non-gel stamping polishes of all time!<br />

When you want classic cute, perfect typography, and layered yumminess look no further than the UberChic Beauty plates. Brittany literally has every classic image you could want across the season on all 4 of Halloween plates and lucky ducky that I am I've manage to get all of them! These are what I call my sweet and cute collection of Halloween images lol. They ride the perfect line and I think are the most "wearable" for work settings. P.S. my favorite of all of her halloween plates are the Zombie Love images. They are definitely more hardcore & realistic and awesome! Both got solid mentions on my favorites from last year!</div>

Come on guys you know there will never be a year where I don't include Sugar Bubbles stamping plates in my favorite Halloween stamping plates. Frankly Vivi makes some of my favorite plates in world. She is bloody brilliant and her plates are a clear reflection of that brilliance and creativity! For instance this plate above is the perfect balance of cute & creepy. I love the stretched out eyes of the ghost, the dripping eyeball, & the highly stylized spider. I just want to keep on saying yes yes yes please!<br />

Speaking of the Nightmare Before Christmas (NBC) and cult characters this plate is even more awesome! Note the snake monster from Beetlejuice at the bottom right-hand corner too. I see two iterations of Zero one of which is chibi style, Oogie Boogie, Lock Stock, & Barrel and the creepy ass mean professor who Sally works for! Ugh I need all the awesome! These plates usually be found at <a href="https://www.lanternandwren.com/" target="_blank">Latnern & Wren</a> & <a href="https://beautometry.com/" target="_blank">Beautometry</a> stateside.<br />

Penniwise the absolutely evil It clown and the tiny chibi characters at the bottom of the plate are literally pulling me into this plate so hardcore! In addition I love the twisted thorns at the top and the stumbling zombies chasing a relatively healthy looking character. Lol. While Dixie Girl is a little bit of a newer brand for me I do have several of this Aussie brands' plates and thus far all of them have consistently well etched and high quality. These plates and the Sugar Bubbles plates as well as the Clear Jelly Stamper plates can be found at Beautometry.<br />

Romantic Rebel. I haven't really posted too much about the Clear Jelly Stamper plates because I've only been slowly getting into them recently, but I have to say what I have discovered has been pretty darn stunning! For instance this plate is so goth pretty. This is halloween done sexy and lacey and me likey!<br />

For those that love classic cute welcome Witches Brew which contains some of the most adorable images for quick & customized looks thanks to the layering nature of these plates that I've seen in a while. The circles at the bottom are actually layered eyeballs, there are also ghosts, potions, zombies and more. I'm definitely pleased with this one and I can't wait to take it out for a spin!<br />

Here's another brand that generally ends up getting a plate or two into my Halloween favorites & this year MYL once again managed to slip into the mix. I will say I'm still frustrated by the hidden but not so hidden price point increase that happened a few weeks ago and despite an email sent to the company I still haven't gotten a response to that question. However given plate after plate since the Collab have release at 6.99 GBP I think its safe to say the price has increased for all new plates while old plates will remain at the 5;99. <br />
<br />
Now despite that these last 3 festive plates are ridiculously awesome! Gah! This is how MYL gets me. The perfect mix of whimsy and cute! Plus the typography is dead on. This is one of my favorite of the 3.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1nbCO4l6WBn-jLkaEMm-1TcIGnI8Gz3p4E3WFPPKt28rJecW1qY3ASnYPU_dbUawPoca48TqMmsSUKycKKZk_Iq54lF4UvxI_ugxPk414SgbDIIw1SlQEEt6Bezd92z100fy6vLVg7Gs/s1600/festive-nail-art-design-62.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1nbCO4l6WBn-jLkaEMm-1TcIGnI8Gz3p4E3WFPPKt28rJecW1qY3ASnYPU_dbUawPoca48TqMmsSUKycKKZk_Iq54lF4UvxI_ugxPk414SgbDIIw1SlQEEt6Bezd92z100fy6vLVg7Gs/s640/festive-nail-art-design-62.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Here's my absolute favorite! MYL rarely does characters in terms of faces or personalities on their plates so when they do I feel like its always done in such a stylized manner and in this case that's clear as well! Wendy from the Addams family done MYL style. I love the mermaid girl and the witch and again all the typography! You did good MYL! <br />

<br />
This plate is outstanding and reminds me so much of the typography plate that looked like a Ouija board but with much more exploration and elaboration. Honestly I have to say all 3 of these plates are so well done and interesting. This goes to show you no matter how many plates are out there as long as you have an imagination you can make an old idea and holiday images seem fresh again. These plates have already released on the MYL website for the aforementioned 6.99 GBP.<br />

How is everyone? It was a quiet weekend! I was in a lot of pain thanks to the hurricane that is battering the east coast currently. The rain makes my legs & chest ache in ways that make it difficult for me to do more than cower in bed with ice and NSAIDs unfortunately. However I did have time to create a few cute looks that were more fall inspired. Generally I love the fall. For me fall means it's time for rich golds and bold color choices. There's so much I want to do but I know I don't have the stamina to do everything so I decided I'm definitely going to be sharing more of my nail art but not necessarily creating tutorials for everything I create. This is something I talked about a few posts back especially for the more simple nail art I create unless its requested. This nail art came about because I really wanted to break out my rich gold polishes that were shimmering as well as some of my Orly Satin Hues.<br />
<br />

The Satin Hues polishes are something that I've been collecting for years. They are no longer made but every time the fall comes around I want to break them out! They are so pretty, but this time I wasn't able to keep the matte satin effect because of the stamping. Since I stamped with regular polish and not stamping polish the stamping was delicate and topcoat was necessary in the extreme to prevent pattern loss. I could have gone back and put down matte topcoat, but it doesn't have the same effect as the satin matte polish. I don't know how to explain it but the matte effect of the Orly Satin Hues is very soft compared to most other matte polishes. I actually had the luck to come across the satin matte topcoats on ebay a couple weeks ago in a total random find. I'm actually fairly excited for those to arrive since I had no idea Orly had actually made a satin matte topcoat and it means that I'll finally be able to get that effect without compromising my nail art!<br />

I don't even know how many total Orly Satin Hues exist. I was never able to figure it out, but I desperately wish I could have them all! Currently the color I want the most is Uniquely Satin - a dynamic royal blue satin polish. If anyone out there has it or knows where I can find it and would be willing to part with it let a girl know! So from one polish obsession to another how about this gold foil polish from Sally Hansen? Its a few years out from release but still is so bloody brilliant! Also every single polish from this collection also stamps! The combo of UberChic Beauty abstracts and foil was absolutely purrrrfect ;)<br />

So what do you think? Pretty and simple. Right now I'm feeling semi-skittle mani's for some reason. This look was really my first look of the fall season. I also finally had my first PSL of the season. I started looking at Halloween decor too! Lol, but with that thinking this weekend may be a good time to do my favorites for Halloween post so that people can have time to peruse and buy before October gets around. Honestly I can't believe its already the 18th. Insanity! In any case thanks for reading and I'll see you next post<br />
<br />
P.S. If you would like a tutorial for this nail art leave a request in my comments otherwise I'm moving on with my next look!<br />

Happy Labor Day weekend everyone! You guys know generally I don't follow the rules if I did I would never create the things I love when I love them. What do I mean by that? Well the summer if over and the fall with its PSL drool inducing moments is upon us, BUT whatever. Its still hot as hell in DC & I felt this neon pink polish calling to me. Therefore I've got what may be one last hot and sizzling summer nail art before we start the switch up!<br />

LA Selfie is such hot fire! I said this in the tutorial but I'm honest to goodness so impressed by the Orly Color Amp'd polishes. I have no idea how they get the formulation so perfect, but they are so bright and smooth its insane. Plus I literally put down one coat of this nail polish and it was opaque.<br />

I did put down a nude polish, Essie Sand Tropez, as I always do with my neons to make them pop. You can do this with either a nude or a white polish, though I prefer nude, but even without the base this color is so strong you can see it during my tutorial clearly.<br />

This turned out so beautifully I was super happy! Plus do you see what I see? Lol no approaching holiday intended but my nails have finally started to grow out a bit! I'm actually really pleased with this length so if they stay here I'll be satisfied.<br />

Even though I so recently have been disturbed about MYL pricing I must admit I love my plates and plan on enjoying them to the max. The Pro Collection in particular has always been one of my favorites since it has a lot of clean and fresh designs.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So what do you think? Even though summer is coming/come to an end its nice to squeeze in a nice bright mani. P.S. has anyone else seen the Orly Color Amp'd polishes anywhere in stores? I have only seen them at Bed, Bath, & Beyond and all my links are online where the prices vary so much depending on the color which I find weird. Definitely let me know if you have found them anywhere else as I'm interested in grabbing up more colors in the future! I hope you enjoyed this art, thanks so much for reading, and I'll see you next post!<br />

Happy Friday again! I have a lot of releases to share with you guys as fall is around the corner and upcoming holidays companies are starting to release their seasonal collections and new curations. Now this is both exciting and horrifying because it definitely means having to budget your monies accordingly to make the most of the new releases and art. Its hard enough being a stamping addict but when you combine that with being a polish addict as well things get hairy. <a href="http://www.moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank">MoYou London</a> has put out an entirely new collection last week and your girl also noticed that along with this new collection the prices seem to be on the rise as well.<br />

<br />
So somehow I missed this expansion. I was flipping through my plates since I'd made a recent purchase of MYL plates from their sale and I realized that the Doodles Collection has expanded by two new plates! So this is one of the rare squares on squares plats that MYL sometimes released. I never know how I feel about these because the squares never full fit my nails even my shorties right now, but I do think that's the point with the Doodles i.e. you are supposed to layer them up and multi-stamp. The images here are sort of a mix of geometrics and funky shapes I haven't seen before. Despite the squares on squares I like this one a lot!<br />

<br />
This plate is utterly beautiful BUT I have seen these flowers before on the Marianne Nails plates and from what I recall on some of the BBF Nails plates and Apipila Cometicos plates. You savvy? Lol beautiful but an absolute dupe of those that have come before.<br />
<br />

<br />
Let me start by saying these plates are absolutely stunning! The avatar for this one is Grace and the collection centers around her world of porcelain tiles, nature inspired motifs, Russian flowers, and traditional Chinese florals. Whew! They packed a lot of concepts into this collection and it shows. I love the cranes and birds and florals in this plate so much. On tope of that the cascading lines in the abstracts just puts it over the top for me. Essentially without going beyond plate one, though I will, I will say this collection is a must have.<br />
<br />

<br />
Boy oh boy, bigger is definitely better! Pretty pretty pretty the only thing that bums me out when they increase the size of these plates is when I love all the images on the smaller size but they don't get carried over to the XL size.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here come the china patterns and florals and it's love! Ugh I'm really in love with everything that's happening on these plates. I want to get my hands on those tiny little flowers so badly!<br />
<br />

And yay they managed to move most of it over to the XL size and I see the birds I didn't realize were hidden within the florals.<br />

And the final plate is even more beautiful and has a bit of a Frenchy Collection feel with the curved floral motif row. I also love the mixed plaids here. Sigh what a beautiful beautiful set of plates...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Price Increase?</span><br />
<br />
Now let's talk about the problem I have with this set of plates. I noticed that once again as with the Summer Vibes Collection the price point on these plates is set at 6.99 GBP and I'm wondering why. I had I guess wrongly assumed the reason the Summer Vibes plates were priced higher is because they were a limited edition run though I don't know why they needed to be LE either. Now I look back and see the Henna Collection expansion from 2 weeks ago was also priced at 6.99 GBP. So is MYL raising the price of their plates even though they had just recently raised them before from 4.99 to 5.99? <br />
<br />
I'm just going to come out and say I'm so unhappy about this as MYL plates are IMO already expensive, but when I asked them directly about a price increase on IG they just ignored my question and didn't respond. I dislike intensely that this price increase feels like some secret that they are trying to sneak on the consumer instead of just announcing hey we are increasing the price again. Also I'm just going to say it when I'm buying plates I do think about the number of images and re-use value I get out of them. I can buy an entire set of more than 30-40 images from a company like UberChic Beauty or FUN or CJS for only $3-4 more than what MYL is charging for their much smaller plates. I'm not going to pay that much for these plates over time when the value is decreasing less and less with each price increase. As you can read clearly I love the creativity and beauty of MYL plates, but as a consumer I can't afford $9-10 per small plate when competitors are pricing their same sized plates much lower AND I can purchase from different brands and get more images per plate. <br />
<br />
What do you think? Am I just being a stingy and cheap biatch? I feel badly for saying it because I have loved and supported MYL from its inception. At one point I even had discount code they issued for my followers, but as time has gone on I do feel MYL has moved away from its consumers somewhat, they no longer do those little codes for bloggers, the bloggers they do choose are those with only massive followings, and they continue to increase prices but aren't transparent about those increases as they should be. And when that starts to happen I start to see the company as more of a "massive/corporate" entity and that more than anything will drive me toward the indies which I do tend to support more anyway. Thoughts thoughts? You can find all the plates I discussed on the <a href="http://www.moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank">MoYou London website</a>. The Doodles Collection is priced at 5.99 GBP and one is currently on sale for 2.99 GBP. The Porcelain Collection is as discussed priced at 6.99 GBP. Thanks so much for reading, happy hunting, and I'll see you next post!<br />

Where the hell has the summer gone?!? I'm literally gobsmacked that it's going to be September already. This year has literally flown by for me but particularly the summer, BUT I am so excited for fall! Not ONLY is it PSL season (yes all hail the PSL!) but its time to start thinking about all the fall nail art that is just so much fun including one of my favorite holidays Halloween! And just in time for that thinking are new plates from <a href="http://www.uberchicbeauty.com/" target="_blank">UberChic Beauty</a> inspired by the upcoming fall season! Can I just say yay!<br />
<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a> Let's start with Lovely Leaves 3. I have been in love with the lovely leaves plates since the first iteration. They are beautiful plates that always pull in the sense of foliage and bark and just fun. I'm loving all the falling leaves images on this plate and particularly the image of the aspen trees. Those layered images are genius! I think actually this is skill Brittany is getting better and better at mastering which means I have to work harder to make these images come alive on my nails to do justice to the awesome designs!<br />

<br />
Here's a close up of the aspen tree design and a how to. See what I mean? Bloody brilliant! I can't even. I'd love to just recreate this in its entirety but I do think I'd like to change the base palette on my own nails which have finally grown out enough to do justice to the tree lengths.<br />

<br />
Boy its time to start thinking about Halloween already. When I saw this launch I realized I have to go and pull out all of my Halloween plates again. Every year I never get all the looks done that I want, but this year I'm going to challenge myself utterly and since I have them and Target already put out their halloween stuffs I'm going to be doing Halloween nail art starting right in September. Hell why not? Now the thing about the Halloween plates from UberChic is they always manage to settle right in between classic and cute, which is why I own all of them released thus far. This one is no exception from the tiny and somehow delightful spiderwebs to the the adorable typography - "quit yo witchin'". I love that! This is just a classic cute plate that fits along with the others in the series.<br />
<br />
So I know its early I do but what do you think? I must have that Lovely Leaves plate since the imagery is so epic! If you aren't familiar with that series or the Halloween plates now is a good time to hit up the <a href="http://uberchicbeauty.com/categories/fall-plates.html" target="_blank">fall plates</a> tab on the<a href="http://www.uberchicbeauty.com/" target="_blank"> UberChic Beauty</a> website. Not only does it feature the two series above but it also includes one of my favorite series of all time from UC - Zombie Love. These individual plates retail for the usual price of $14.99 USD. Also right now if you spend $50 you can get that stunning holo Sun Glasses case I was drooling over at the last launch! Lol. I wanted to mention that because I swear a while ago I saw a coupon on the site for 15% off if you were a new customer. I'd definitely pay attention to the site when purchasing to make sure you are maximizing your savings and taking advantage of the deals on offer! Ok thanks so much for reading and happy hunting my little ghouls!<br />

Happy Hump Day! It's official I'm really on a roll! I am really getting a lot of inspiration these days and so the nail art is just coming. I decided not to film all the nail art I create particularly the more simple mani's. At some point I may just post up a video of 5-6 easy looks in a compilation. Today's nail art is super simple while being pretty and bright! It feels perfect for spring or summer & got me a few compliments as well :)<br />

<a name='more'></a>Mmm to this day gradients are my favorite. They are super easy to create & make fantastic bases for nail art! With the simple crescents this ends up being elegant & clean while not taking a ton of time to create. What is your favorite kind of base for nail art...gradients or plain polish or something else?<br />

I can't seem to remember when I purchased these Essie polishes but this brand also happens to be my favorite when it comes to creating gradients and watermarbles because in general Essie's formulations are awesome. They tend toward one coats or two coats for max opacity and most of them are self leveling so they spread out on the nail plate quickly. I don't think any of the polishes I used are from the most recent collection though, except maybe Chillato, because I haven't been picking up polishes recently when swinging by Target.<br />

Btw this plate in Collection 27 from <a href="http://www.uberchicbeauty.com/" target="_blank">UberChic</a> has some of my favorite type of designs as well . This is a plate that has a ton of images that are easy to stamp over gradients because a lot of them are stand along and bold looking. It also happens to feature several geometrics that make my heart leap so expect to be seeing more looks for this plate! Btw this is technically a magnetic mani but the shift ended up being so subtle across the stamping I couldn't capture it on film though I loved the contrast of this color against the gradient.<br />

So what do you think? Is anyone interested in seeing maybe a longer compilation video of several "simple looks"? Again these were super easy to create which is why I didn't bother with a tutorial, but maybe across several simples I can post a single video. Let me know what you think. I don't know about everyone else but I'm not ready yet to start switching to darker fall themed polishes just yet though that season is rapidly approaching! Alright thanks so much for reading and I'll see you next post...<br />

Can I just say thank you so much to everyone who has wished me well recently in my troubles with my health & becoming recently wheelchair bound. It's been amazingly kind & motivating. It would be a lie to say this hasn't been so incredibly hard for me & its been taking a toll adjusting but I still have so much faith in the process of medicine & healing and I know I can overcome this, but hearing you guys wishing me well & saying you believe in me helps me to believe it too so thank you so much for that! Phew - now that I've gotten that sappiness out and speaking of someone who has always had faith in me ;et's talk about Brittany & <a href="http://www.uberchicbeauty.com/" target="_blank">UberChic Beauty</a>'s latest releases. And can I just say this company has become a powerhouse of releases. I can never keep up!<br />

<a name='more'></a>The 1920's is definitely one of my favorite eras in terms of fashion and archietecture. Lord knows I'm no beanpole but when I picture those beautiful beaded gowns and luxurious furred stoles of the era I get so excited. But the other thing i really love are the designs that arose in archietecture during this period. They tend to be striking, bold, symmetrical & clean. So when I see a plate like this I get sprung. I believe currently I only have 2 plates that are 1920's inspired but none with these designs. This plate feels really fresh would be a welcome addition to my collection. Love!<br />

Y'all know I love a good tribal so I squealed when I saw this plate. Here's the thing the designs on this plate is really different from other tribals I've seen. These feel more like cave painting style...if you kwim?? And because they seem that way this plate once again becomes fairly unique. In addition I like that Brit didn't fall back on the old adage of chevrons only, feathers, etc. And as usual with UCB there are a lot of double negative reciprocal images which I adore! </div>

Now let's sort of switch gears. First I'm going to show you some new UC brand tools that Brittany literally released 2 weeks ago (?) and then I'm gonna hit you with her latest inventions for those of us who like to sparkles elsewhere besides our nails!<br />

I'm of the opinion your stamping is only as good as the tools you use and these are amazing looking! I have a version of the "Puff & Stamp" and its recently become one of my favorite tools for catching and placing tiny details. I love all the little sparkling crystals in each tool as well. It just adds a little extra omphf to the whole experience. When you've been stamping as long as I have its little things like that that get me excited. I've seen so much its easy to kind of get into a slump when companies or products don't pay attention to these little details or just copy each other. UberChic is keeping it pretty novel & I appreciate that! I want that striper especially since it looks so perfectly thin & balanced. Also the Bling & Placement tool looks awesome. I can't tell if the tip is wax or not but I like a tool like this because it would help me with placement without blocking the camera when I'm filming. PS I'd be remiss if I didn't tell you<b><span style="color: blue;"> when you buy 3 or more of the UCB tools you get 20% off the total </span> </b>I don't think you need a code since I didn't see one on the email but I'd act now while everything is still in stock.<br />

And now here we go with the latest innovation - lifestyle products!

& reflective this is in real life! I know because I have one that Brittany generously sent to me and I love it! It was the perfect gift too because I needed a bag to place on back of my wheelchair when I'm out and about & not only is this the perfect size but its also pretty! And guess what there's more...<br />

Business Card holders....how cute is this? You know I actually am a person who has business cards in my regular line of work but I never have them on hand when I'm asked for them. Maybe if I had a nice holder I'd be more inclined to carry them about. PS I love the faux reptile skin embossing!</div>

Ahoy ahoy there maties! I really love posting press releases for new plates lol. I get to all this window shopping & gush about all the pretties out there and get it out of my system. Honestly too when I see all these plates out there it makes my heart happy. No matter how long I've been stamping I still continue to love the craft and collect the plates & products. I'm grateful that I've never lost the passion for it & that it offers me a source of joy even when I'm feeling down and rough. That said I always have my eye peeled for what MoYou London is producing. I've been collecting their plates en masse since the brand launched which is why I have plates from them that aren't even made anymore. Not only are their plates innovative, but they continue to produce images that make my little stamping heart skip with lust!<br />

"Summa summa summa time let's just sit back and unwind summa summa time." Lol as soon as I saw the name of the collection that song came to mind. Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince killing it 90's style. Anyway this plate is awesome! It has a really modern & fresh take on summer imagery. I love the intermix of basic shapes like triangles and circles mixed in with graphic details like dots & dashes and background patterns. Its a beautiful plate!<br />

Ah and I forgot to mention the typography. Honestly this plate is really well done. Because my nails are shorter right now either are perfect for me and I'd probably get both because my nails have been breaking more frequently due to my over all health stus.<br />

I love the florals mixed with linear abstracts here. I see a few motifs which feature art deco like elements and then this plate continues to have the inclusion of smaller geometrics that would create such a fun nail art. I do love most of the elements here with a few exceptions I'll explain on the XL version below. Oh and I forgot to mention for some reason these plates are "limited edition" and as such priced at 1 GBP higher than the regular MYL plates. I don't quite understand that and to me it appears to be a gimmick to make more money on what honestly is just a regular release of plates. Even though they are beautiful I don't see the justification for pricing them at a higher cost. They aren't any larger than regular plates and they don't feature more images than other plates historically. Am I being petty about this? What do you think?<br />

<br />
Regarding the image exception I mentioned above - I'm not really a fan of the zebra head and full zebra pattern included here in the bottom row. That pattern has been on a set of older Pro plates so I feel that really shouldn't have been included on this XL version of the plate. Its a small complaint, but when you're charging more per plate and stating they are limited edition I do feel everything should be absolutely unique.<br />

MYL finally got on the Collab bandwagon! I wondered if they were ever going to do this and eventually they did. The first blogger they chose is Anastasia from Let's Nail Moscow who is a massive nail art blogger on Instagram and Youtube. She's definitely a creative powerhouse and creates some beautiful nail art!<br />

Gorgeous! It would be an utter dream come true to collaborate and design plates with MoYou London. Of course I suspect they will only be choosing larger bloggers with massive followings to collab with but still I'm sure Anastasia must be over the moon to have collabed with them! What do you think? Btw this plate has sold out several times on the MYL website so it seems this collab has been extremely successful.</div>

And more new releases this time from the Henna Collection which I've sort of had mixed feelings about. It feels like sometimes its hard to pull distinctions from this collection vs the Arabesque Collection in terms of the thematic elements of these plates. Because of that I've been fairly selective in making purchases across both collections as they feel fairly similar. I find the plate above fairly unique because of the solo breakout elements and smaller details so I'd definitely go for it. This one goes on the wishlist!<br />
<br />

The stylized animals makes this plate unique and beautiful. Its included with some more traditional henna elements that I have seen across this collection. Another wishlistable plate!<br />

The Hipster Collection releases have been super cute lately if a bit derivative. Lol sorry it has to be said. How many unicorn plates have been released now across several brands? I can think of at least 7 off the top of my head. The little jewel images have also been floating around several collections. Regardless these images are sweet and cute and will likely sell well since the craze doesn't seem to be dying down.<br />

This plate seems to be a bit more celestial and includes crystal images which seem popular of late. Its an adorable plate, but I'm just not sure how necessary it is. I'll put it on the back burner of my "Plates to Consider" list. Lovely but not an absolute must. What do you think? Are you guys tired of the unicorn craze yet?<br />
<br />
These plates are available currently on the <a href="http://moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank">MoYou London website</a> and retail for 5.99GBP except for the Summer Vibes Collection which retails for 6.99 GBP currently. Thanks so much for reading, happy hunting and I'll see you next post!<br />

I've been wanting to do another "watercolor style" mani for a while now. They do require quite a bit of work but are utterly worth it in terms of how pretty and diffused a wash of color can look over the nail plate. I haven't really done one of these since I did my Starbucks inspired nails. This time I decided to keep the colors fairly simple and not do a ton of layering of colors but I love how this looked so simple and pretty with just a hint of sparkle at the high points. I'd actually been playing with the Moroccan plate from <a href="http://www.uberchicbeauty.com/" target="_blank">UberChic Beauty</a> for a while and created one other sort of crystalline holo look that I will share as well. I think I'm slowly getting my mojo back even if my body isn't in full cooperation.<br />

<a name='more'></a>So this turned out so soft don't you think? I really love using watercolor paints in my nail art even though their use does make things a little labor intensive. I asked on my video as well but anyone who wants to see a dedicated how-to on watercolor nails & the various techniques and methods on how to create them let me know in the comments or DM me & I can put that together!<br />

Isn't this so soft? Maybe too soft considering we are still in summer but whatever. The school year is starting again for some of us and time is moving forward so bright pops of neons that typically characterize my summer looks aren't necessarily necessary lol. If you know what I mean.<br />

The Moroccan Beauty plate is fun it has a lot of abstract & motif designs. There are plenty full sized images for quick and simple stamping that can be jazzed up even more with powders or specialized polishes think magnetics ;)!<br />

Also finally my nails are starting to grow out a bit more so I can rock some of the longer nail patterns. Yay for that since I do prefer my nails to have a bit more length than they have had of late.<br />

So what do you think? Note I'm breaking out the UC Clear Stamper again. It really is one of my favorite stampers and compared to any other I own it gives me the best view of my nails when I'm lining up images. Its like i forget it and then when I break it out again I'm like oh yeah that's why I used to use this one all the time lol. In any case I hope you all liked this one. Its very different from my last look & definitely a bit more feminine. I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been encouraging me & sending positive energy my way. Definitely know that its appreciated & that I am so grateful for that because at times I do feel so isolated by my illness & afraid for what the future may bring, but I'm trying my best to hang on and keep moving forward! Thanks so much for reading & I'll see you next post!<br />

Lord its taking me so long to do EVERYTHING these days. If you read my "<a href="http://www.lacquerlockdown.com/2018/06/updates-coming-back.html" target="_blank">Updates</a>" post you'd know I've been going through a lot these days which has had a profoundly bad effect on my life including that I am now in a wheelchair with a lot of severe pain. I can't being to express how frustrating its been since doing anything these days not only takes forever, but can be pretty tough so I haven't been able to bust out the posts the way I want to. I'm also super behind on releases so I'm not sure when some of these plates I'll be posting actually truly released BUT since this is one of my favorite nail companies and I was investigating their website I found all these beautiful new plates which I have not posted to my blog so I'll be sharing the newest releases from <a href="www.http://bbfnailart.com/" target="_blank">BBF Nail Art</a> & Cris with you today!<br />

<a name='more'></a>I know at least plates 91-101 were released on July 10th. The last time I posted I was up to plate 84 so I"ll show you those and pick up from the new releases. Its a travesty I haven't posted on this brand in so long since I adore Cris' creations. In any case let's go!<br />

Trolls! As a 90's kid I totally dig this even though I know there was a movie released recently. I didn't get to see it for so me this has overtones of my childhoood, but I wonder if others will like it from seeing the more recent release? I just remember thinking the Trolls & I have a lot in common when it comes to hair. I could never really comb the hair on my troll doll when I was little because it was so thick & bushy and now as I recall I remember my mom teasing me for that too! Lol<br />

It's Rick & Morty forever, one million times Rick & Morty, Rick & Morty through the ages, etc etc! If you only watched the first episode you would get that joke. Here's where my love of adult comedy comes in because lord knows this show is not appropriate in the slightest for young children but it is so bloody brilliant! Hell Cris even has "evil Morty" here and Ricks old catch phrase. Gosh I need this freaking plate!<br />

My Little Pony - another childhood reference and classic! I also just realized this is another cartoon from my childhood that was recently redone. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this has a whole new cartoon that runs for kids currently or was recently running. Its like no one can think of any original ideas in TV & film & so they just keep recycling shows, movies, & concepts all over again. Its really a bit disappointing, but if it results in plates like these I'll take it as this plate is absolutely sweet!<br />

I still didn't know the imagery associated with this but thanks to Alice W. I now know this is Peppa Pig. I'm not familiar with that character at all so I have to go back and do some research. The characters are really adorably drawn & appear kind of fresh for something that for all intents and purposes looks like line drawings lol! I find the stubbly pig? particularly appealing!<br />

Minions & Despicable Me. Finally there is a plate that is well done with these little guys and I'm so excited to see it! There have been other plates with the minions characters on them but were not that great. The sizes were off or there would be one solo image that was improperly etched from several of the generic Chinese factory plates & one brand that shall not be named on my blog due to bad business practices. So I have been wondering when was their moment coming. I will tell you this is something Cris has ALWAYS done well. She always manages to create plates that hit a niche where customers have been dying for. The only drawback to these plates is that they are themed and therefore one must be creating a definitive "look" when using.<br />

OMG I am dead dead dead! Disney done chibi style. Chibi's people chibi's!! I need you to come with me on the level of excitement I have for how adorable this is right now. Look at goofy really! Ugh I NEED this plate y'all! Tigger and a chibi Aristocat & Pooh. How appropriate with the new live action Winnie the Pooh movie releasing. Ugh my heart honestly can't handle the cuteness overload I'm currently experiencing!<br />

Duck Tales. I can not think of this show without the catchy theme song sounding in my head. Now we are really reaching back into my childhood. I remember watching this religiously on Saturday mornings at my grandmothers house. This was really one of the only times we were allowed to watch tv for hours consecutively but this was always one of my faves. I'm so happy to see this plate come to life - Huey, Dewy, Lewy, & good ole Scrooge McDuck along with Daisy and Donald. I love it!<br />

The Incredibles. It took Disney 14 freaking years to create a follow up sequel to what was a blockbuster hit in animated features and I really don't understand why. Just this year we got the sequel and it was really really good! If you haven't seen it I'd highly recommend especially if you've got little ones to take along. In any case this plate is everything I could have wanted in an Incredibles plate for the first feature. Kudos Cris on making it come to life!<br />

Ohhhhh child!!!! Oh child oh child oh child. Lord have mercy! Finally finally finally Lion King stamping plates! Finally adorable images featuring our favorite animated cub & warthog. The legendary chillax song, Mufasa, ugh she even included that cute image where Simba sticks his head in a bush to make a pretend mane. Why y'all? Why? My wallet gave 1000 screams. This release is quite literally jammed FULL of epic!<br />

I haven't really seen plates done like this before where the images are sort of their own little tableu but I really like it! Each little rectangle is a focused memorable scene. I really would love to get my hands of these plates. These last two ones are so special & well done I'm truly impressed and inspired.<br />

Pochantas. This was one of of the last movies I saw that felt like they released when I was still a little kid. I remember being so desperate to see this in theaters & singing all the songs. I even had a recorder to play colors of the wind. It came in a little package with the book & recorder and I'd go around practicing and torturing my family. LOLOLOL. The messaging of this movie is ALL kinds of f-ed up especially if you know the historical reference particularly well BUT I loved this movie and therefore I love the plate. I know for a fact its what made me love pugs so much today that its my dream dog.<br />

Tangled! Ah the reimagined classic of Rapunzel. Did you know that was actually the title of the movie before Disney changed in to Tangled to market it as a more gender neutral movie? Lol the things these companies do for a buck. I only wish this plate had the classic image with Rapunzel's hair wrapped all around her prince, but it may have been too difficult an image to render. Still what a classic plate!<br />

The Princess & The Frog. One of the only Disney movies that feature of African American lead role. I was not young enough to "grow up" with this one around but it made me happy to see it when it came out. Classic tale with a legendary & kind princess and a cute cast of characters. Another keeper for sure! Are you guys OD'ing on all the Disney? I'm literally shocked at how many classics Cris packed into this release.<br />

The Little Prince. I never read these books as a child but discovered them as an adult. Random. This is utterly classic & the images are dead on with the books. If you've never read them then you definitely should because they are lovely. This plate makes me want to read them all over again particularly for the beautiful illustrations!<br />

Oh Christopher Robin. Lol that's the new live action Winnie The Pooh movie coming out. I've seen the previews and I must say it looks AMAZING! The rendering they did for pooh is fantastic and whats clear is that those of us who grew up with this amazing bear & his friends will never ever be able to let the nostalgia of these stories & movies go. I love this plate because I love these stories & films. Nuff said...<br />

Coco. I will admit I don't know as much about this movie. I believe it just released on Netflix's and so I will have to finally check it out and see what it's all about other than what I superficially know which is something about a family curse and the ability to play music. This plate therefore is a homage to all the wonders that take place. Even though I didn't see the movie I do see several images from the preview which are dead on. I'm sure fans of this flick will like this plate a lot given the detailing she even put into the masks & more!<br />

Finally the last plate is a mini featuring Ferdinand the Bull. I loved this story as a child - a little bull who was so different from the rest. Calm, quiet, and doing his own thing. It made I, who as a child often felt so very different from my peers & isolated, feel like its ok to be different. I was so happy when this was turned into a movie a la' Disney style and so of course I love this plate!<br />
<br />
So what do you think? This was sort of a massive release huh? And more to the point the plates released were unbelievable! I mean if Cris usually sends out some epic shit this release was standout for being knockout after knockout. These plates retail for $9 USD, minis for $5 USD, and can be found on the <a href="http://www.bbfnailart.com/" target="_blank">Loja BBF Nail Art</a> website. Thanks for reading along, happy hunting and I'll see you<br />

Ok so I was supposed to be demoing the new storage binders that <a href="http://www.uberchicbeauty.com/" target="_blank">UberChic Beauty</a> released in the holographic colorway that hold 34 of the medium sized 9.0cm x14.5cm plates and then as I was filling up my binders I ended up pulling the Wild West plate and wanting to do something with the cacti on the plate. I'm not sure about the creation. Tbh I have created like 5-6 manis that I feel have been fails. I'm so frustrated and embarrassed I have hesitated to post anything, but today I decided to just jump in. I held back the tutorial because I'm so uncertain so unless someone asks I most likely will not post it though the materials for created the mani are listed below. Regarding the binders - I'll be putting up the holo binders next which are I have to say completely and utterly awesome and I hope some of you were able to pick them up with the initial release or during the recent sale. I know I did!<br />

<a name='more'></a>Ok so Virtuous Polish I used to love this company when they first released intensely pigmented matte polishes. Thats how I think about this company, but I know people have had issues ordering from them recently so I wouldn't recommend purchasing any of their polishes right now. I'd try using any pastel neon polishes you have in your collection and then mattifying them instead. As I recall Sinful Colors had several pastel neon collections including last summer but the collection that I think is the most similar to the Virtuous Polish Collection is the Color Club Poptastic Collection.<br />

I think one of the things that's frustrating me is how short my nails are. I can't get entire images to fit onto my nails such as this cacti image. The tops got cut off and that gives the mani an entirely different effect. However you see here on my thumb the entire image fit beautifully and I got the effect more that I was aiming for. Even then I'm not to sure about my creation, but practice makes perfect and lord knows I'm rusty so I'm just going to keep creating until I start hitting my happy spot again.<br />

I've got the latest yummy and decadent releases from one of my favorite platemakers to share with yo - <a href="http://www.uberchicbeauty.com/" target="_blank">UberChic Beauty</a>! Honestly I was so shocked when I saw this was their 27th set of plates. Brittany has been busy and as with her previous collection there is definitely something present for everyone. This release also features some cuticle clean up product and more storage solutions for those of us who are utterly plate addicted. So without further ado let's dive into the shiney goodies!<br />

The first plate of this collection happens to be my favorite of them all mainly because of the stunning and super cool swirling radiating star images! I love these so freaking much! Also this plate has so many radiating geometrics it makes me happy. I'm utterly looking forward to playing with this one!<br />

Then along comes the plate of negative imagery. One of my favorite plays on nail art are inverse images. I've noticed that UberChic Beauty has been creating plates with inverse and negatives since the very start and that has sort of drawn me into her plates as I've gone along. Nobody does it better and so of course I want them all! I will say I don't love the floral pattern at the bottom of this plate as some might. It feels super congested, but it may come together if I could stamp it out and experiment a bit.<br />

See what I mean about the inverse imagery? Elements on each of these plates plus the middle row features some little accents. I think that saves this plate because the top row images are a bit familiar to those who have seen the MYL Illusion plates and many other plates out there, magic eye, optic illusions from another indie so these lend the plate some freshness. I have to say I love the safety pin image as well that's a new one I haven't seen around. Now do you have any favorites from this set?<br />

Next up is Moroccan Beauty a plate inspired by Mediterranean imagery and artwork! This plate features lots of open frescos and open tilework. These remind me a teeny tiny bit of the images from the designer series small plates from DRK only in the complexity of the imagery though the patterns are not at all the same. <br />

This plate has so many complex abstracts its hard to pic one that I like the most but I l have to say last column from the right 3rd row and first image from the right is stunning! I love it! You could seriously use this plate twenty times and create a different look every time. Sold!<br />

We've now come to my biased but favorite portion of this release! As I look to reorganize my life, after all I'm now on wheelchair so my home space has had to undergo some substantial changes, I find myself changing over the organization of my collection, and so this folder comes both in handy and timely fashion! Plus its freaking holo and beautiful. Holding up to 37 plates I love that its a binder style holder with pages that can be moved around easily for quick reorganizing! I love the generosity of sizing and that you can swap the plates around within the binder easily. I'm gonna need like 5 of these stat! How about you? Currently my plates of this size are stored all together in a cloth folder. Its not very easy to see the plates and honestly not a very elegant solution for storage so as I said this binder is coming at just the right time!<br />

First Hot Off The Stamping Press post in eons and its gonna be a mega post to catch up on all the releases <a href="http://www.moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank">MoYou London</a> has been sending our way.

So without further ado let's get started!<br />

<br />
Let's be honest if you know MYL you already know that this isn't truly a "pure" new collection launch. I say this because when the Bridal Collection initially emerged this is where MYL was placing most of their lace designs though a few did get scattered into the Gothic Collection as well. At the time the Bridal Collection launched there was a huge trend for lace images in stamping nail art and these designs were literally everywhere. The best part there are so many types and kinds of lace that you can produce image plates for years and never run out of patterns, but the bad news is this kind of thing gets repetitive pretty quickly. I for one still love lace, but I'm not one to chase after every image as I used when they 1st launched but now tend to be more selective of unique imagery.<br />
<br />

Stunning! A'la overlapping plate style. You all know I love the overlapping plates from MYL and this is no exception. AND these happen to be patterns that I do NOT own. Really these are beautiful and of all the lace patterns out there I prefer ones that are very bold.<br />
<br />

<br />
Meh - these are basic lace patterns such that if you've bought at least one comprehensive plate then likely you have these images already. It's a basic must have if you are building a lace collection, but if you already have plates its a pass.<br />
<br />

<br />
Also incredibly beautiful! These are all in the vein of Spanish lace. The florals are all super prominent and bold in a way that would make for some very in your face lace nail art. These are not for the faint hearted or those seeking more delicate workings. My favorite images are those directly in the center of the both the top and bottom rows.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEblb50QaQ-teusQ1RZaZ2rSby4NArkiMWEkjvc-WlZPNUi05MPgxBlCNmD5Rjq2kNzQTbTSKCEaBJ29MGWl3kn45h7JlJ90FwUxceu3SmIqBuokp-jxRpEBhXT0TCBdnuU7WoEDCrdvc/s1600/58.-Lace-_-pinup-04_1024x1024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEblb50QaQ-teusQ1RZaZ2rSby4NArkiMWEkjvc-WlZPNUi05MPgxBlCNmD5Rjq2kNzQTbTSKCEaBJ29MGWl3kn45h7JlJ90FwUxceu3SmIqBuokp-jxRpEBhXT0TCBdnuU7WoEDCrdvc/s640/58.-Lace-_-pinup-04_1024x1024.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And now we have some more delicate workings sort of french tips and accents. Love the image 2nd row and second from the left of the screen. This one is sort of on the fence with me. I love pretty much most of what's happening in the bottom row but the top row is very typical of patterns I've seen and already own. Kwim? Its wishlistable at least...<br />
<br />

<br />
And here is the first plate I wouldn't pass over. Why? I think most of these images are absolutely fresher looking and also fairly unique given the number of images on this plate. The designer went overboard choosing images that will continually draw the eye. For instance my eye keeps getting drawn into the last column on the right and the 3rd column from the right 3rd row image and so many more. Yup this one is a keeper!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Enlarged I do think the lace looses some of its delicacy and freshness. I'd actually buy the smaller version even when my nails are longer and stretch the images to hold some of the delicacy that gets lost here.<br />

Mmm a whole collection devoted to the deliciousness of art deco appeal...yes ma'am I'll take that! I love it all these accents would be so fun to play with across different nail art backgrounds. Though the cynic in my says that one of the Artist plates from a prior plate looks eerily similar.<br />

More beautiful deco swirls and beautiful patterns. Btw if you think hey some of these look familiar its because I can think of at least one indie company that's "been there and done it" already - that's Powder Perfect for the un-initiated. I have several of her plates including her deco plate and it has beautiful imagery reminiscent to what is seen here.<br />

This might be my favorite plate of the entire Deco Collection! I love all the beautiful swirls and curlycues. I have one other plate thats similar in terms of imagery from Clear Jelly Stamper. See that's the problem with creating new collections across platemakers its getting harder to find unique imagery or concepts due to the large number of indies out there! Still I adore this one!<br />

This is lovely and different. I love all the tiny dots coming together to create little deco accents. I also have to say this the first time I've seen imagery just like this. Which of course is why this uniquely beautiful plate has been sold out the last 2 weeks.<br />

This collection is a solid rockstar entry - the images all lend themselves to both simple and complete art without being overwhelming. This is my second favorite plate in this collection I wanted it immediately and even though I do own several other deco plates MYL always puts a spin on things that is if not novel fresh in a way that makes me want to quickly click "Add To Cart". <br />

Free flowing accent pieces that would help flesh out more complicated nail art or serve to create a complicated nail art if they were nested and arranged properly. Even though this place is kind of basic it was one I wanted immediately when I saw it. It reminds me of some of the Holy Shapes plates which have accent images only. <br />

When in doubt overlap! Lol kidding but I do think that MYL is planning on creating an overlapping image plate for every collection. Here the overlapping takes on a vine like design. I'm not 100% sold on what's happening on this plate to be perfectly honest. These images are kinda basic and then they don't pull out or separate in a way the plate above does. More than half off the fence with this one :/ <br />

So....I'm gonna say these images aren't super original. They really aren't especially if you follow platemakers that make florals that make you want to own everything they make, Uberchic Beauty I'm looking at you, but they are beautiful and delicate. The animal life in particular here on these plates is lovely and so though it kills me this is a definite yes for me.<br />

Hello overlapping beauty! I love this one. Is simple and shouldn't be so stunning but some how it is. Can someone tell me what the flower 2nd column from the left is? I can't tell but that is a new flower I haven't seen on other plates before. Interesting....<br />

Wow! I'm just gonna say this is what I came here for! Literally this plate is so so innovative, and its been a minute since I've seen a plate that surprised me to the degree that I would say, "Oh, I've never seen anything like this before its insane!" That's what this plate is for me. I don't know where to begin but I love how they set up the ability to nest and layer and I truly hope this is the start of brilliant new things to come from MYL cause I'm buying!<br />

Holy Shapes outside of the Explorer Collection is my favorite collection from MYL! The basic geometric shapes and symbols always pull me in. You can create and create with them and each plate I swear allows you to create more than 20 looks just from rearranging the images given to the user. So of course this plate even with its basic dots and triangles is my serious bae. I love it and added to to my list the instance I saw it - sold!<br />

Here's a collection that perplexed me from the minute it was introduced. I was like wait which collection does this belong to? This one is what - tropical x Back To The 80's?

Explorer? Oh wait no this is just jus a ridiculously sickening Henna plate! So I will say I had not been a huge fan of the Henna Collection when it first released the images just weren't that fresh and from what I was seeing there was a lot of repetition. I say that even as look at more nested chevrons and feathers and nested triangles. It doesn't matter this plate is fabulous!<br />

Mmmm I love the way the tropical collection has been heading lately. The last few plates have featured full nail sized images with cooler patterns and geometrics. This time we get some animal print and cool painting motifs. This almost feels like the mix & match collection right? The little animal heads kill me here lol. So fun!<br />

Ok some of these images are total dupes for others I seen across other platemakers - Loja BBF aka BBF Nail Art immediately comes to mind for the blacked out cat image at the botom of the plate. Obviously cat paws, small cats etc are kinda run of the mill. I will say the striped cat ad cat on the moon and balloon cat head are all fresh. This is obviously a plate for someone that may collect cat stamping plates etc. It's not that novel but its cute. For me its a likely pass I already have several cat featured plates and honestly its not that appealing of a concept for me that I need every plate. This is hella cute though!<br />

No. Sorry I really did not like the doggy plate before from this collection. Save the dachshund and huskie images I find this plate to be blah and uninspired especially if you consider there are/were so many other animal/pet plates out there BBF Nail Art, Uberchic Beauty, Messy Mansion, etc. So this is just not for me :/ My bad but I'm sure some doggie lover out there is going ballistic over this one so yeah...<br />

When basic meets must have. That's how I've always felt about the Pro Collection. They take classic images and offer them to you. BUT and here's the reason I like these even though often the images are so basic you can go absolutely bonkers with these patterns because they are so basic. Color, finish, double stamping, leadlighting, etc. That's why I always end up getting every single plate from the collection though I tend to go with the XL sizing as my nails have always been long. Above the curling ribbons images and the lines with irregular half circles are my faves!<br />

This one is a bit more basic still these lines and circles and etchings feel very fresh likely because most other companies will tend toward a flashy new a solo images and away from sort of working clean simple images that may not be as flashy but will result in some interesting art when layered or played with. The more i Look at this plate the more I like it!<br />

Hi Easter passed already so this is way out of date. Its pretty its another festive plate that I would have scooped solely on it's cute factor alone. I like the separate faces of the bunnies and of course the egg decorations. Onto the wishlist for next years Easter nails!<br />

This one is a meh for me. Cute, but I haven't really been a fan of the Enchanted Collection mashup plats that have had a tendency to pop up occasionally in other collections. However its cute and its adorable particularly the little sheep, chick and rabbit in the second column from the left!<br />

Hey hipster. For me this collection can be a big hit or a big miss. I find the pop images here adorable. Little avocados, pineapples, eggs, etc. Its sweet but I'm not totally in love or overboard. However I do feel this would be a fun addition to add to your collection especially if you dig pop art.<br />

Sized up! Ack I totally realized that I have an entire plate devoted to eggs from Harunouta, a brand that I found via Born Pretty's website, which has this eggs over-easy image as well as the chick, chicken, hatching, and various other egg imagery i.e. boiled eggs. Rolf! This isn't enough to make me say no to this plate but like I said it wasn't jumping out to me as "the one" to begin with too!<br />

Unicorns everywhere smile because your fairytale filled fantasy plates have arrived! Lol on trend this year is the them of unicorns and mermaids. I feel like every platemaker has at least one plate or several images devoted to unicorn imagery etc. AND I love it! I wanted to grab this plate when I made a mini-MYL haul after my absence but it was already sold out :( I'm hopin to snag it soon for the teeny tiny little unicorn heads alone ;)<br />

My favorite MYL Collection. I purposely hunt down every single plate from this line. The evil eye a protector and curse is playing a strong theme here. It almost gets slightly creepy by the sheer number. What do you think? I once had a roommate who wore evil eye jewelry all the time and also gave me a small piece for personal protection. I almost swooped in e be I held off on grabbing this one as funds are limited and there was one plate I wanted even more.<br />

Its been so long since I've painted my nails and to top things off I am fully on the "shorties" train! I can't remember the last time my natural nails were this short but it is related to the fact that I've been so ill my nails haven't really been growing. Also when I have had growth my nails have broken quickly. This is the first time I'm experiencing a problem with sustaining my nail growth so I'll be posting some tips on how I'm getting my growth jump started again soon. Anyway even though they are short they are still my nails and I still want them to be cute. I'm finally breaking out some of my Black Friday purchases. Yup....way back from Black Friday but give a girl a break I'm definitely so far behind in everything and doing some super simple super pretty stamping.<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hello black chrome! I forgot to take a picture of my nails with just the black chrome powder, novice mistake of the rusty eh?, but I'm sure I'll be using it again so I'll definitely get a snapshot. In any case I love how the black chrome has this sort of blue gray overcast. It's not really a pure black at a all especially from the angles. and that's why I chose to pair it with the duochrome opaque flakies. What a winning combo!<br />

Do you all still like chromes and flakies? While I've been out of the loop I still love the same things I love just as much...holo, foil, multi-chrome and ALL the powder finishes. I wanted something simple and pretty but also something I could ease into. I also am feeling some kind a way by these budgy sized nails. They are so short I'm like eeeeehhhhh. They haven't been this size since I had budding aspirations of becoming a cardiac surgeon. Then I kept my nails so tiny if you go back to the beginnings of my IG and blog you can see they were short AF.<br />

I'm going to try to look the current length of my nails as a challenge I do have tons and tons of plates so there is no excuse for not being able to create beautiful nail art even on the shortest nails. So I'm kinda looking forward to rising to the the challenge and I have a ton of untrieds - plates, polishes, & tools so I have plenty to work with. Isn't this so pretty? I mean these flakes just shift and shift and shift. I actually don't own too many flakies and these were only snagged because the sale was so good during BF I couldn't resist. One I got from Forever 21 and they were like $7! Insanity!<br />

I hope this tutorial made sense - again I did not use regular stamping polishes but instead gel stamping polishes from Moyra which was a first for me. I will be posting a full fledged review on these since I'd been dying to try them since they were announced and now I have them all I'm so excited to try so many ideas while using them to expand my technique. Now all Moyra needs to do is get on expanding the color range because right now its kinda pathetic. I mean who doesn't create a nude shade? Sigh.<br />

You may be wondering why did I chose to use a regular gel topcoat and not stick to my no wipe gel topcoat for the final step of my nail art. The answer is for a few reasons though you can just as easily use a water based topcoat...think Picture Polish revolution or even just another coat of UNT. All no-wipe topcoats are extremely porous i.e. they allow substances like flakies, powders, etc to stick & sink into gaps in these areas where there are larger pores. Hence I want to use a polish that doesn't have that property so that my art wouldn't dull with time and sleep while touching my sheets in bed. Hence the Gelish. At the end this was really turned out beautifully I actually thought about planks a acing more stamping on the chrome but I thought it would distract from all the shift and iridescence. I sometimes forget simple stamping can be super elegant. I hope you all liked my first nail art in a bit. I wonder do you like my nails longer or shorter? I've always had them so long its never dawned on me, but in fact they may not grow out while I'm so sick. In any case thanks for reading and I'll see you next post!<br />

How I've missed this space - it has literally been so long! I'm so sad that I haven't been able to actively blog, communicate, & share my love of nail art, polish, etc with you all through much of the tail end of last year and most of the first half of this one. I wanted to come back today because I'm finally in a place where I've processed some things and I'm able to share with you all what has been going on for those of your that remain and shockingly those of you who are newcomers despite my radio silence.</div>

I think most of my longtime followers know I've never had very good health. This blog is riddled with "I'm Back" posts because my health teeters so precariously at times to lows where I can't do anything but hold on and that has definitely been the case of late. I wanted to take this time to share my story with you all so that you understand why I have been missing & why I almost gave up this blog and everything else.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
This all started when I got a vaccination for the influenza this fall. This is a vaccination I get annually and actually its required obligation of my regular employment in healthcare outside of my blogging. Unfortunately I became one of those rare individuals that had a reaction to my vaccination. In my case it was a severe auto-immune mediate cardiac inflammation - myopericarditis. This played hell on me and I was hospitalized for a long period as a result of this. I was also placed on so many different medications without a response and the bad part is that one of these medications cut off the blood supply to the bones in my knees over time. The result of that is that I am now wheelchair bound. I spent almost 2 months in a hospital before I was allowed to go home mainly so that I could learn how to walk with the assistance of an aide and move safely about my home in this new state. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
It has been devastating. I'll say it again - devastating. I've been sick before certainly severely sick, but this is the first time in my life that it has continued almost unendingly without much progress being made. It's affected all aspects of my life in all forms and I'm no longer able to work. I'm still so sick and on so much medication and seeing so many different doctors. Honestly I don't know what the end game will be. I just know I don't want these things to change me. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
I'm slowly coming back to myself and also discovering myself after these changes. I know a few things - I've missed my nails, which btw are significantly shorter due to my health problems, and the sort of peace I get from creating new art & techniques, I missed talking to all of you about our shared passions & just chatting in general, and I've just missed being me. So once again I'm back. I hope you all now have a better understanding of why I've been gone for so long this time. I hope you can forgive me for being gone so long. I can only say when one is going through hell its best to just keep going and that's what I've been doing. I finally want to say welcome back and please definitely catch me up on all that I've been missing or things you've wanted to see from me during my absence! I love you all and welcome back!</div>

Long time no chat! I'm sorry I've been absent lately if you follow me on IG you know that I've been hospitalized and dealing with some serious health related matters at the top of the year which have frankly sucked. I had not really been feeling well enough to blog but when I was offered the opportunity to swatch a Valentines Day related polish called The Vellvet Death by the the lovely of Chirality I thought it was a good opportunity to get back into the swing of things and also get back in touch with my love of polishing and nail art in general.<br />
<br />

<br />
Let's talk about this beautiful polish! The Velvet Death was inspired, as Amanda describes it, by <span style="font-family: inherit;">a <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">ravishing Skull shaped Red Velvet Cake. 'The Velvet Death' has a sparkly silver-grey base with pinkish red shimmer and red microflakes. I'll show you that inspo below!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #222222;">Initially<span style="background-color: white;"> the polish applies on slightly streaky but corrects with a second coat. Here I used two thicker coats topped by a glossy topcoat but this can definitely be worn with three thinner coats per preference. This polish wasn't topcoat hungry at all which I was surprised by since it is jam packed with glitters and sparkle!</span></span><br />

One of the cooler aspects of this polish is how it shifts depending on the angle of your hand so that from every direction you are getting subtle sparks of red and shimmer. This is definitely a perfect polish as well for someone that wants a little Valentines related pretty without all the excess of pink and red. Also I just have to say cause you know I will this is gonna make an awesome base for nail art - wink wink nudge nudge.<br />

Hi stamp champs,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've got a some down time happening while I recover my health so I figured I'd spend today catching up on all of the major plate releases I've missed. I'm gonna go back to <a href="https://www.linanailartsupplies.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Lina Nail Art Supplies</span></a>. Her seasonal hits tend to be very popular and it seems this release is no exception.</div>

<a name='more'></a>This feels like the fall that already fell. Lol my bad better late than never...Did I get this? I don't think I got this but I would for Thanksgiving 2018. I love all of these leaves and falling umbrellas what a lovely plate. Listen have I seen some of these images before absolutely but as a composition in one plate its lovely.l This is a plate you will reach for over and over again in the September/October/November season. Btw that Autumn leaf typography is sickening! <br />

I don't love this one as much. This probably has to do with the fact that a few years ago everyone and their mother released intarsia inspired plates which was proceeded by a deluge of chevron and plaid. Classic but done to death in my humble opinion. I'll combine this with the fact that I'm not the biggest fan of intarsia yeah so sue me. What would pull me toward this plate despite these misgivings are the snowflakes (shocking) the layered trees that are STUNNING, the barren trees, the pines and those two images on the bottom row from the left. They are fresh!<br />

Ho ho ho in a Santa hat! Yes for fresh typography. Yes for igloos. Yes for more poinsettias and pine. Somehow this plate felt old and new to me at the same time. I will say I hate the gingerbread men. They have always stamped problematically to me. The mittens, tree, cookie reminds me of Petla plate's winter release a few years back but everything and I mean everything else works!<br />

<br />
Make Your Mark is probably one of my favorite series from this brand! I own a lot of them. this one is perfect and also weird it is a strange combo of fall spring winter, christmas, abstract and nostalgia and guess what? It works! I snagged this as soon as I saw it during my Black Friday forays.<br />
<br />
So who has favorites here? I certainly have a a few and a few of them made it into my F<a href="http://www.lacquerlockdown.com/2017/12/my-favorite-nail-art-stamping-plates.html" target="_blank">avorites for Christmas 2017</a>. Go check it out if you haven't already! These plates retail for 14.99 USD per plate + shipping. You can find these on the <a href="http://linanailartsupplies.com/" target="_blank">Lina Nail Art Supplies</a> website. However right now is the SEASON OF SALES! I know that What's Up Nails has a deal going on daily for the next 12 days and they carry these plates as well. So that said happy hunting and I'll see you next post!<br />

Hey stamping addicts</div>

<br />
Alright stamp champs here are the latest releases that <a href="https://moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank">MoYou London</a> churned out of the last couple of months. Not nearly as many as I thought and while some are absolute hits there are a few misses as well. If you are planning your holiday shopping for your favorite stamping addict this posting may help you to pull out the newest releases from this platemaking powerhouse So without too much halaballouh let's get into it!<br />

I haven't been the biggest fan of the Scandi Collection. TBH I just could not get into it. To me the plates felt like a lazy woman's Doodle Collection, but I have to admit I like the clean nature of these two new plates. First of all I'm always going to love any kind of "galaxy/space" themed plates. I find them charming but the simple manner with which MYL displayed them made me fall in love! I'm annoyed that the smaller image plate has more cute images than the large one hence you really have to buy them both for the total delicious effect even if you rock long nails. Or maybe that's just me and my obsession<br />

This was MYL's Festive Thanksgiving release which also happened to be the first of its kind. Namely because MYL hadn't released any Thanksgiving plates before now. If you're wondering why consider that this is a UK based platemaker why on earth would they celebrate this holiday? They wouldn't and I have mixed feelings about Thanksgiving anyway. Something about the systematic decimation of a single ethnicity leaves a sour taste in my mouth but to each their own. I will say I find this plate lovely with these solid cut out images and typography.<br />

Christmas 2017 release. Really cute but these seem super labor intensive like decal city. I want something a bit more simple this year so I won't be biting but these images are so cute. I love the little gingerbread men and milk especially.<br />

Let it snow let it snow! I want it but then again I want every snowflake plate ever. Not sure how unique these images are honestly I'd have to really sit down and compare all the snowflake based plates I own side by side to say for sure.<br />

Meh these aren't actually that much different from the images I recall seeing in the Scholar set i.e the doodles the student is supposed to be doing during school. Therefore I'm not that impressed.<br />

Saved the best for last! I adore this collection since its first release. Super clean easy to stack and layer and also somehow has the feeling of easy wearable nail art!<br />

Henna collection meets Minimal?" That's probably why I didn't like the Henna Collection because so many of its images seem derivative. Here the imagery once again appears very clean. I will say though I don't think anything here screams I have to have it now because I've seen these images on other plates before.<br />

The larger version of the derivatives and clean small lines. I want to say I don't need this plate but....I do. I love all the simple shape and again the potential for layering!<br />

I said it above but gotta catch em all!<br />
<br />
Anyway obviously these plates have already released and are available on the <a href="https://moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank">MoYou London</a> website. They retail for 5.99GBP. MYL recently had a Black Friday sale where they also announced they would be discontinuing their older collections. Obviously these are not included as they just released but if you are going to make any purchases I suggest you grab up any old plates you may be wanting as well!<br />

Hey stamperistas,</div>

<br />
I'm just gonna release a buttload of new plates that hit while I've been out of commission today. I'll start with one of my favorite platemakers <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sugarbubblesnailsart/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Sugar Bubbles</span></a>. She released these plates about two months ago sort of peri-Halloween. I knew I was going to be too late to grab them up for Halloween since these plates are located in Brazil and shipping can take a while, BUT as with every Sugar Bubbles release these were worth the wait!<br />

<a name='more'></a>"Jump back! Twist the bones and bend the back...trim him of his baby fat.....make his fur black as black...just like thiissssssss." And that my dears is the truncated version of the Ballad of Thackery Binx. Hocus Pocus is back along with the head witch from Witches and Elvira and some creepy pumpkins spiderwebs etc. God I want this plate. I actually ordered it already but I'm waiting for it to arrive so I can gently caress it!<br />

This plate will not be for everyone. Its real Halloween featuring wolfman, pinhead from hellraiser a cleaner version than was on a prior plate, Freddy Kruger, Poltergeist and more. Talk about dark and macbre for Halloween 2018! Ok so regular readers you know the deal these plates generally have to be sourced through redistributors stateside and in Brazil as the owner does not sell directly to buyers. You can find them at various distributors by going to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sugarbubblesnailsart/" target="_blank">Sugar Bubbles Facebook page</a> to find distributors in your locale. Happy hunting and I'll see you next post!<br />
