Hi all, hope you're having a good weekend so far. Today I have the first mani I wore from my new
MoYou plates. (I will be doing a separate post showing you them very soon) I was trying not to spend too much this month, but I ended up buying 8 plates, in 3 separate orders. I guess that's what happens when you try and limit yourself to 2 or 3 plates. I'm just glad I can get free shipping within the UK!
For this mani, I used just 1 coat of Majesty from Barry M's Royal Glitter Collection as a base. It looks pretty good at 1, but the tip wear was really bad, so I wouldn't advise it if you want them on for any more than a day!
The image is from Suki plate 07, and I stamped with
Kleancolor - Metallic Aqua. This is a great stamping polish, and the shimmer in it looked great over a textured base. I will definitely have to get the rest of the metallic line from Kleancolor, I love the way these finishes played together!
I still have to work on my placement a bit, you can see I stamped a bit wonky on the index finger, but it wasn't anywhere near enough to make me dislike this mani. It would probably help if I got into the habit of stamping before midnight though : D
Anyway, what do you guys think of this mani, do you like this colour combination?
Wow this looks fabulous! Very eye catchin! Where did you get the Kleancolor from? I could only find them on Amazon =(
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! I get my Kleancolors in bunches on ebay. If you click the word Kleancolor in the post, it will take you to the listing I got mine from. That listing is for any 6, but the seller does do smaller amounts too. (they're MUCH better value in bigger amounts though) x
DeleteThankyou kindly! =)
DeleteThis is SO beautiful!! I love the colors you chose and I can tell you, I have 10 Kleancolor Metallics and they all stamp great! The only thing is, I do tend to get some staining with them and the darker the color, the worse the stains (it's doesn't deter me from using them though!). I saw this on the AiS board on Fb and you now have a new follower! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks sweetie, and thanks for following! I only have red, aqua, fuchsia and pink, but I will buy them all eventually. I love them as a base aswell, they have such a gorgeous finish. And, have you ever mattified them....they get this frosted metal look that is awesome : )
DeleteNo, I haven't but I'm going to now! Thanks for the tip! :)
DeleteNo worries hun, it is a properly unique effect though, I've never seen polish like it : ) x
DeleteSarah this is fantastic!!!!! I just love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks hunny : ) x
DeleteThis is awesome! It looks like both your base color and your stamping color are sand finish polishes.
ReplyDeleteChester :)
Thanks. I think it's the tiny shimmer particles that do it, but I love the effect too xx
DeleteI've nominated you for an award; http://www.enigmatic-rambles.com/2013/11/award-blog-your-heart-out.html :)
ReplyDeleteAlso I love the free P&P!
Aww thanks for thinking of me hun! I have done this one before, but I'll still post about it, link to the original post for the answers, and nominate 5 other blogs. (As well as linking to you of course) xx
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!!! Great colour combo, stunning!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks hun : ) xx
DeleteGorgeous! I have been thinking of stamping on a textured polish for ages but keep putting it off - you've inspired me with this beautiful manicure! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! Glad I could help inspire you to try it. This is only the second time I've done it, but both times the results were fab! xx

ReplyDeleteLovely design <3 i just ordered three moyou plates and i am excited how they will work :)
ReplyDeletethanks hun - you won't be disappointed, MoYou London are the best quality plates I have ever tried, they're etched really well, so all the tiny details transfer perfectly. They're addictive though, I've bought 18 already! :) xx
