Summer Designs with MoYou Nails!

***Press Sample***

I don't now if YOU know this, but Father's Day this year was also the first official day of summer!  So I created two nail designs to celebrate the new season using MoYou Nails stamping plates, polish, and rhinestones ^_^

The first design is based off one of my top favorite images that come to mind when I hear the word "summer" - sailing!

I did a gradient using "Lei It Again" and "Rum Me The Right Way" by KBShimmer, and painted a wave pattern using "In Yacht Water," also by KBShimmer.  To get the subtle waves look, I used a holo topcoat and OPI's Nail Envy in a watermarble pattern.  I then used my MoYou Nails Black nail polish to stamp the boat silhouettes, and a dark blue stamping polish from somewhere (I honestly don't recall, it's in an unmarked tiny bottle) for the dolphin silhouettes, all from MoYou Nails Plate 70.  I painted a light grey inside the dolphin lines because they just looked odd as outlines :P  I topped it all with my OPI Matte topcoat, and I'm pretty pleased with the end look ^_^

My second design is a bit more fun :)  One of my favorite activities I remember doing as a kid in the summer was making tie-dye t-shirts and whatnot.  So I thought I'd re-create a nail design to sort of emulate that look:

I used the entire Live Love Neon collection by Seventy-Seven Nail Lacquer for the watermarble designs.  I then stamped over using my MoYou White nail polish and a beautiful butterfly design from Plate 212.  Over the sun part of the butterfly image I placed a diamond rhinestone for an added sparkle :)  I totally love how this design turned out!!!

I'm always pleased with MoYou Nails plates and polishes - they all stamp so smoothly!  I've noticed that they pick up with different types of stamper heads, too, which is always nice.  Some of my polishes will only pick up with a super sticky and squishy stamper, others will only transfer on a more solid type of stamper.  All the MoYou Nails polishes pick up with both types so far.  I used my MoYou Nails stamper, which is not too sticky and is stiffer, for all these image transfers in the above designs.

What do you think of these designs?  What are some of the first things that come to your mind when you think of Summer? :)

MoYou Nails Spring Stamp Designs

***PRESS SAMPLE***

Hello lovelies!  Keeping this short and to the point today - been battling really bad allergies the past few days so everything is a bit fuzzy at the moment.

A few weeks ago I received some Spring-themed plates and a few polishes from MoYou Nails:

I decided to do three different nail designs that would showcase the versatility of the polishes.  The first design I did was a Jelly Stampwich:

I used "Amy," "Jessica," "Kristy," "Kass," and "Tammy" from Creative Cuticles Nail Polish for the jellies and stamped using my MoYou stamp and scraper and white polish.  I chose images from plates 12, 203, 209 and 102 and stamped in three layers, leaving the top stamp layer white.  I love how this mani turned out - it's so Springy with the images, but it's a hint of summer with the neon jelly colors!

The second design I created is a gradient with a stamped image over it.

I used MoYou light blue and Orange You Glad nail polishes for the gradient background.  I then stamped with an image from plate 124 using Lilac nail polish color.  I was definitely going for more of a summer mani with this design, specifically for all my friends who are still dealing with frigid weather and snow :)

The last mani design I did is my favorite of the three - it is a combination of a water marble and stamping.

This design was created specifically to see if these polishes that already stamp well, would also water marble - and I am pleased to say they do!  Now the patterns may not be the best - I'm still very much a noob to the water marble technique, but the polishes spread out nicely on the water and were very easy to work with.  On a plain white base (I have found with naked nail, the water marble is very thin and see-through, so you really want to put a solid color base coat first), I used Lilac, Light Blue, Maleficence, and Orange You Glad colors on their own with White for the water marble design on each nail.  I then stamped images from plates 12, 203, 102, and 209 using the same polish colors over the water marbling.  With a matte topcoat to finish, the result reminds me of porcelain ^_^  Porcelain reminds me of all the tea parties I used to have as a little girl in the Springtime :)

Overall I have to say I am impressed with the versatility of the polish by MoYou Nails!  I figured, after using the white polish I received in the kit I purchased at ISSELB2015, the other polishes would stamp just as well, and I was correct.  I had no issues with images picking up and transferring - all the little nooks and crannies in each design showed up.  Water marbling was just out of curiosity, and I think it's awesome that they work well for that, too!  I now have found a brand that wears well on its own, stamps perfectly, and also water marbles.  Win, win, win! :D

With regards to the plates, I love how much detail is in the images, especially the butterflies!  I love even more that nothing is lost in the image transfer process - really makes the mani look fantastic!  I am incredibly pleased with these products and can't wait to order some more to play with for Summer!
