Moyra Embellished Abstract Nail Art

Hiya stamperistas,

Get ready for it cause today I'm changing up the game ;)  No really seriously I am! For the first time in forever not counting dotticures I'm throwing some freehand into my stamping.  Freehand embellishments anyway in the form of gel polish.  That's right everything is about to get all crazy up in this place.  I'm taking my new Moyra plates out for a spin so let's do this thing!

Moyra Nail Art Stamping Plates Review

Updated 2/22/16

Hey stamperistas,

Welcome to my first stamping plate review of the new year from a brand new to Lacquer Lockdown!  That's right today is all about Moyra nail art stamping plates.  I've been wanting to share this brand with you for ages now.  Looking over their plates and their items for months at a time dying over their innovative images and wishing I could have their offerings in my own stash.  The only reason I haven't shared is because I'm standing by my rule of not sharing brands that I haven't reviewed before so that I don't share something unreliable to my followers.  Now I finally can and let's face it Moyra has been making all the right moves - innovative images, professional branding, and emergence from a stable franchise with a reputable reputation.  I've been having plategasms and now get ready cause you're gonna have them too ;)  As usual this review is split into sections feel free to scroll through.

Please don't forget to leave me questions, or comments about your experience or feedback you have at the end.  It really helps my blog,  other buyers, and also the makers and resellers as well when they read things!

Scattered Holographic Foil Nail Art + Tutorial

Hey lacqueristas,

You know this has pretty much become a stamping blog after all stamping is my niche and its the kind of nail art I prefer to all others.  However occasionally I will post nail art that doesn't fall into that venue and today is such a day!  I really wanted to use some of the nail foils I bought last year from AliExpress.  I actually purchased them with the intent to do some foil stamping, but I could never find a polish that allowed for a successful transfer and so they have been languishing in the dust ever since lol.  At least that was the case until today ;)

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

Hey hey hey what's happening,

It's the first MoYou London plate release of 2016! And its from the oh so cool Hipster Collection. Oh yeah baby ;) This is a collection that I kind of nitpicked from when it first released.  Some of the plates were like my besties bbf for life.  Others I was like not sure what's happening here - I don't really want to wear bearded nails.  These kinds of thoughts were ruminating through my head.  So I wasn't really sure what to think when I saw this collection was expanding, but maybe that's just me. Let's go!

My Favorite Nail Art Of 2015!

Hey stamperistas,

I totally stole this idea from More Nail Polish's blog post of her favorite nail arts of the past year.  I tried so many things it will be kind of fun to go back through everything from the last year.  So in no particular order I'm sharing my favorite top 10 manis from 2015.  I'll try to start from most recent and go back so let's take a look!

Hot Off The Stamping Press: New Sugar Bubbles Nail Art Stamping Plates!

Hiya stamperistas,

Today I've got some new stamping plates to share! It's my first post of the new year and of course they are late.  The reason I didn't post these before the New Year arrived is that I was hoping these would actually have made it to the stateside before the month ended.  Thus far there's not a single plate in sight, but since times moving on let's share and share alike eh?  I know for a fact more plates are sitting right over the horizon and by spring we'll see the usual plethora of releases that make us go...ah which do I buy! So today the latest and greatest from Sugar Bubbles.

Here we go...

Pet'la Plate & Liquid Sky Lacquer Holographic Abstract Snowflake Nail Art + Tutorial

Hey stamperistas,

Happy 2016!  The year went quickly and a lot has changed around here.  If I think of all the changes I made I'd get overwhelmed - but the blog setup, my lighting, my camera, my filmography software and photography software has changed so much!  It's crazy to think of it all and how much I've learned and still have to learn.  But what do you think? Is it just me who thinks a lot has changed? Has a lot changed in your nail art or set up? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below!
