I have another MoYou London nail art mani today! I know my loyalalist follower has been asking for some (Moore :) so I'm trying to keep pumping them out. I'm starting out a touch slow and will build up. I definitely will have full-image plate image nail art coming along with a little trick that I do in my head, but makes more sense in literal translation if you can't picture designs in 3D to help you create them. Today I'm using my pen-ultimate favorite collection of the bunch. Yup you guessed it - the Suki Collection!
I still have so many Halloween polish untrieds to go through it's a bit pathetic, but because I do I'm gonna keep using them even if my theme isn't necessarily in the same vein. Plus how gorgeous is Dollish Polish's Red Rum from her Halloween 2013 Collection?!? Freaking too gorgeous is the answer! Also this polish was pretty much opaque in one thick coat. I think you ladies know how I feel about one coaters (lusts fulfilled!). I also chose to accent this mani with a rare Nubar jem in my collection. Absolute is a scattered blue holo, also gorgeous, but it took 4 coats to build this puppy up. I probably should have grabbed another one of my holo's but this one was the perfect contrast for the raspberry yumminess of Red Rum.
I chose MoYou London Suki plate 02. I have been fantasizing about this
plate since the day I got it. It has everything that makes me think of
old school Japan - pagodas, tigers, various blossoms, koi fish, samurai
and more. Daisuki! Translation: I love it! I could create a million
different designs from this one plate. Lol maybe I'll do a self
challenge that way. One plate 5 designs. Yup it's on! In any event I
fell hardcore in love with the various dragons on this plate in
particular the triple segmented one that allows you to pick up different
parts of the sinuous body and stamp them ad lib.
Up close and blurred a bit so you can really see the holo effect :) If you look at my
index finger you can see I connected two of the parts into one. This
isn't tough but it does require precision. I also did some mirror
stamping because some of the flowers weren't going in the direction I
wanted so I had to reverse them. I wonder if anyone even is interested
in my tutorials anymore? Let me know if you are interested.
So thoughts? I have to say I love this but I redid the accent nail an unseemly amount of times because it kept turning out completely different than what I wanted. I also need a recommendation on an opaque DARK GREEN stamping polish that is NOT metallic. I keep running into this issue and it's driving me bananas! So there we have it. Do you have any preferences for what you would like to see next? Embarrassingly I own almost every single plate MoYou London has made though half are on their way to me but if you want to see something in particular do let me know! Thanks for reading and I'll see you next post!
So...yeah having a total fan girl moment over here! I love this mani! That pink is beautiful! The stamping is amazing as usual! I would love to see you create a mani with the "scene" like plates. I only own two of the new plates this far but I am getting an itch after seeing your ideas. So pretty! Do your holo polishes chip quickly?? If so any tips to make them last longer??
ReplyDeleteLol I've had those a time or two myself! Thank you hun. I have a scene plate mani up next. My polishes do not chip quickly if at all. They tend to stick around until I want to get rid of them which may be sooner or later depending on whether I am obsessing with whats on my nails. If I have on a peel off base however the polishes will pop off quicker. But in short none of my polishes really go anywhere unless I want them to. I'll put up a post for you on making your manicures last longer :)
