Hot Off The Stamping Press: New Dashica Infinity Nail Art Stamping Plates (126-145)!!

Hey stamperistas,

As if your wallets really weren't screaming enough.  Lol spare me spare me!  Shirley the owner and creator behind the Dashica Beauty stamping plate brand and the very popular Infinity series is at it again.  She just released a set of 20 new plates at the top of February and now here she is again releasing another 20 plates!  Eep and I have to say as usual she has a few plates that really stand out from the crowd.  Btw this is my 2nd Hot Off post from an indie brand since all the drama here last week.  I can firmly say, though I have never posted a review of the Dashica plates, that Shirley is one of the most professional and respected international indie platemakers I've ever interacted with.  I have purchased her plates both independently and in group buys.  The quality is excellent and the service superior.  So if you are worried about purchasing please don't.  In addition, from now on I will only be posting press releases for companies I have worked with before or whose plates I own and can attest to their quality.  I will also be posting a review for the Infinity plates at some point! Now let's take a look at her latest plates....

Bundle Monster Rectagular XL Nail Art Stamping Plate Holder Review

Hey stamp champs,

It might just be me but I feel like these  days things are getting BUSY!  I'm just hectic at home hectic at school, and now even hectic with my nails.  Lol so far behind on everything and scrambling to make the magic happen.  And speaking of magic today I'm gonna talk about these new XL holders from Bundle Monster that literally stole my breath right away from me.  Its rare for me to just jump up and buy something these days because the market is so saturated right now!  But when my friend Yvette messaged me about these in the morning I was like "add to cart"---> "add to cart" ----> "check out with paypal"-----> "done".   Yes I was that impressed.  So now that I have my holders of course I'm going to share them with you.  As usual I try to break my review up into parts so that you can scan. through.  Mainly I will be doing plate comparisons and measurements.  I did also create a short video just to show you a few things so sit back and enjoy and don't forget to leave me some feedback darlings!!!!

Hot Off The Stamping Press: Messy Mansion MM Series Nail Art Stamping Plates!

Hey stamp champs,

We're back at it again - if only you could see the backlog of plate post releases I need to get out! Lol. Scrambling like a mad woman to get on top of everything which is difficult when there are so many companies releasing plates ALL the time.  However I am always so freaking excited any time Messy Mansion releases anything! And you know that because I love love love me some Julia McGowan.  A lady this dedicated to novelty and quality deserves all my praises and admiration.  On top of this I don't think she's released one product that hasn't been a smash hit, and I know because I own it all! Wait redacted.  I own everything except the basics kit.  I need those little metal plates with the guides cut out and then my collection will be complete! In any case let's take a look at the next set of releases....

Hot Off The Stamping Press: MoYou London Doodles Collection Expansion!

Hey stamperistas,

It's Wednesday which means its MoYou London time and I have to admit I waited with anticipation to see what MoYou London was going to reveal for part of their new Doodles Collection.  Last week as you know I was so excited when I saw what they unveiled.  I decided then and there I was going to scoop all these pretties but because I know MYL well I knew they were going to release an expansion the following week and lucky for me they didn't disappoint.  So let's take a look at this weeks new plates.

 The pretty lady is back!

Hot Off The Stamping Press: MoYou London Aries Zodiac Collection Nail Art Stamping Plate!

Hey stamperitas,

The time has come for the Aries ladies to take center stage with a plate of their own from the MoYou London Zodiac Collection!  For the courageous, adventurous, and lively Aries girls, according to MYL, you now have your own plate to plate about with.  I have no idea how far along we are in this collection but since the first plate was Leo in August I'd say its a safe bet that we are more than halfway there.

 Today is the first day I noticed that there has been an individual banner for each plate.  Lol talk about slow. Usually I just save the banner but I've had to change it every time now.  I wonder if that means from now on annually there will be a Zodiac "Aries", "Pices", etc plate?

10.1 Perfect Polish Sunshine & Rainbows Collection Swatches & Nail Art

Hey lacqueristas,

I'm back with another collection of swatches and nail art!  I apologize for the lack of art these last few days.  My computer had a small freakout and I haven't been able to get my photo editing software to work properly :/  Gah!  In any case I have been very busy this month despite having the month off from my regular swatching gig ;)   I'm always so excited to when a company approaches me and asks if I would mind swatching and created nail art for their products whether its plates or polishes alike. It makes me nervous and happy at the same time so its a conflicted feeling lol.  Today I'm going to be showing you another new collection from 10.1 Perfect Polish.  If you don't remember I created swatches and nail art for this Colorado based indie for the St. Patricks Day Collection.  Today I'm going to be showing you their Sunshine & Rainbows and Collection which is chocked full of metallic easter inspired pastels!
