Floss Gloss Tribal Neon Nail Art

Hey my lacquer ladies,

I am so thrilled right now!  You know how there are times you think of idea in you head and then you create it and it falls short of your expectations?  Today was so not that day.  Instead it's a day where my nail art came out so fabulously I want to never ever take it off!  That's the problem with creating something you love when you're a nail art blogger; inevitably you have to move on to chase the next high.  The colors were so bright for this mani that it freaked my camera out a bit so I apologize in advance for my weird skin tone, but I needed to adjust the settings to capture a color accurate photo.

Basecoat/Topcoat: CND Stickey and Poshe Fast Drying Topcoat

Base: Floss Gloss Con Limon, Fast Lane, and Pony

Accent polishes: Floss Gloss Lean, Wet N Wild Teal Slowly and See, Color Club

Stamping polish: Mundo de Unas #2

Stamping plate: MoYou London Explorer 15

For the nail art I predominantly stuck to using my new Floss Gloss Nail Lacquers.  Floss Gloss is a sleek indie outfit which I feel doesn't quite fit neatly into that category.  For instance if you think about brands like Rescue Beauty Lounge, Cult Nails, and A England these brands seems a bit more mainstream in their packaging and branding.  Floss Gloss has the same ambiance.  I discovered them after seeing a Fast Lane swatch on IG and it was over just like that.  Suddenly these little beauties were flying into my cart.  The only down side is that they are only 0.18 fl oz as compared with the standard 0.5 fl oz polishes that we expect.

Once again I turned to my MoYou London plates to create this nail art.  You can expect more of that from me.  I'm in a deep romance with my MoYou plates right now.  It's hard for me to look elsewhere which is rare.  Explorer 15 in particular is a favorite as it features all kinds of Moari tribal designs, and as someone who lived in New Zealand for over 3 months I can't help but be reminded of the beauty of the culture and the landscape. So as you can imagine MoYou is making me quite happy these days.

Are you all tired of my tribal nails yet?   I feel like I will love them for always and I hope you enjoyed this one. You can find Floss Gloss Nail Lacquer here.  It retails for $8 per bottle, but if you sign up for the newsletter you'll be pleasantly surprised by the amount of sales this company offers occasionally.  MoYou London plates can be found here.  Thanks so much for reading and see you next post!

Hot Off The Stamping Press: MoYou London Explorer Collection Expansion + Holiday Limited Edition Plate

Hey stamperellas,

I took a pause over the holidays.  Lol not really unfortunately I didn't really get a true holiday and spent most of the time working like the proverbial dog.  I did post some things to my IG including some Elevation Polish nail art that I will have upcoming on the blog, but today let's play a little catch up!   Remember the MoYou London Explorer Collection that I raved and raved about basically telling you which organs I would sell off in order to attain these lovelies? If not click here and relive my insanity and unquenchable lust!  Lol well MoYou has already updated the collection and these 5 new beauties have joined the crowd to play!

I can see so many amazing things happening with this design on my nails!

For me this plate is probably my least favorite but only because I feel like the Artist Collection with the Sugar Skull Madame that I secretly call La Catrina blows this one out of the water!

Look at this friggin giraffe!  How cool how cool is this plate! I freaking adore this!

 Love the dreamcatchers above lol questionable love over the little eagle head which is borderline creepy.  **Shrugs**

Just spectacular right?  This collection is sneaking up to the Artist and Suki for my favorite collections thus far.  These plates as usual are highly unique and even better I think this collection has an edge of funkiness which makes them even more superb! For a bonus I'm going to also show you MoYou's new limited edition holiday plate!



Aren't these plates awesome?  The Explorer plates released last week and the Limited Edition released today.  They retail for 4.99 Euros as usual and are available now so hurry up and go scoop some pretty.  Jeez I  honestly once again want everything!  It's unfortunate that right now I'm being pulled in multiple directions in terms of awesome stamping plates coming out now.  It's a travesty to my wallet!  Lol Thanks for reading and see you next post! 

Hot Off The Stamping Press: MoYou London Explorer Collection

Hey hot stampin mama's,

I have some more nail art news from the creative labs of MoYou London.  They released yet another collection last Friday.  I'm a touch late the the stamping press is still steaming ;)  This collection is really one after my heart!  It was designed by two ladies in my AIS group Lisa and Mel and I have to say they did a bang up job.  As someone who enjoys a trip or two and values the richness of the world's cultures the Explorer Collection satisfies my inner anthropologist in the best ways!  




































These Egyptian themed plates are making me want to cry.  If they get some Babylonian and Sumerian stuff going I will just die.  Although the Mayan and Aboriginal themes are nothing to scoff at.  Yeah I wasn't kidding when I said this get's my anthropological juices going after all one of my college majors was Anthropology. Anything involving an ancient culture with ties to the development of a written language and I am there.  I love love love this collection!





 Ah the one is everything as well.  Ankh and felines there is so much mythical allusion here <3




For those who are wondering the MoYou plates are some of the best quality I've come across.  I got half of my order of plates this weekend including The Comic Book Collection and The Artist Collection and my jaw nearly dropped.  I have some cool nail art coming this week so stay tuned.

 Scarab beetles and the Sphinx dying seriously dying over here!

Ayer's Rock people this is Ayer's Rock and the Dreaming Circle! Love it!

So thoughts? What can't you live without? I can't live without any of them thus I will have them all!   According to the MoYou team this collection is going to have many more plates added to it in the near future.   As usual these plates retail for 4.99 Euros and they will be shipping out on the first weekend of December.  Also some great news for ladies with shorter nails and nail beds the XL plates which measure roughly 1.5 x 2 cm will now come in the smaller size of 1.2 x 1.5 cm.  I will of course be sticking to the XL though my nails will be shrinking in terms of length soon my nail beds are still massive.  In any event thanks for reading and happy stamping ladies!
