Hot Off The Stamping Press: New Messy Mansion Plates + Sneak Peeks!

Yo lacqueristas,

I told you when it rains it pours!  Well pours stamping plates.  I'm probably alone here when I say yeah that would be a dream come true for me to go outside and see all kinds of plates falling from the sky.  <--- self delusional.  Lol in any case yes Mrs. McGowan aka Messy Mansion is at it again.  I feel like she is plotting to make me bankrupt.  I can't stop eying and buying her wares, and as if that wasn't enough she has recently released these sheer polishes called Lead Light polishes that make stamping in color a dream come true!  I need them all but there are problems getting polishes from the land down under to my door step :(  But for now let's take a look at the latest installment of plates from Messy Mansion...

Hello everything! Those who follow me on IG or read my plates I love series would recall this was one of the sneak peeks of the yet to be released plates at that time.  Ugh this plate is so perf it makes me want to scream!

Ooooh space the final frontier, and mission to boldly go where no man has gone before.  Lolol ahem in a return to my senses I will just say I love this plate and it's a necessity to my collection!  It also features some vaguely X-file ish imagery.  What's not to love?

So this little plate is not actually a sneak peak.  This plate is real and ready to ship but Julia hasn't uploaded the photo yet with the gaps or spaces in between the individual images.  Initially, this is how the plate was intended to llok bu due to some manufacturing issues the images are now spaced apart. I for one do not care and need this plate desperately.  Who am I kidding?  I need all of her plates desperately.  Something is wrong with me lol!

Now for a bit of what's to come.  Yes everybody loves a good sneak peek so you can start planning out which organs you can live without in advance to fund your rapidly escalating stamping plate addiction.  Oh wait, maybe that's just me...

Lace y'all! I talked about my endless addiction to the stuff for ages when I reviewed the Loja BBF plates.  Again I can't get enough of lace images when they are well executed.  And all of Julia's wares fall into that category.  She is the definition of meticulous when it comes to her quality control.

This plate is a prime example of why I think Julia is literally in a class of her own when it comes to designing plates.  I have never ever seen imagery like this before.  Undoubtedly imaginative and beautiful.  These plates stand alone as works of art before you even put them on your nails.  I also believe this is what the fox would say lol ;)

Now about those LeadLight Lacquers...

Basically the LeadLight Lacquers are exceedingly sheer and can be used to fill in and color an image once it is stamped onto your nail as seen above with the floral pattern and the Egyptian plate.  Why does this matter when you can just make a decal? First, because it shaves loads off the time required to create and apply decals to the nail, and second look at the level of blending and gradation achieved with these polishes.  You can not do that with an ordinary decal! Unfortunately as I said before unless you are living in Australia these polishes will be unavailable to us in the near future.

So I hit you with a lot in this post.  What do you think of the new plates?  I'm particularly interested in what you think of these LeadLight Lacquers.  For now plates 32, 33, 36, 37 are available on the Messy Mansion shop.  I am uncertain when plate 38 (owl plate) will release Plate 38 with spaces is now released, and the sneak peeks (to be continued) are at least 6-8 weeks off. Plates retail for $7.00 USD + $2.00 shipping.  LeadLight Lacquers are $10 USD per polish + shipping.  I need a friend in Australia to visit soon or smuggle me some polishes!  Ok happy hunting ladies and thanks for reading!  See you next post...
