MoyouNails all the way!

Good evening everybody.

It's no secret that I am a big fan of MoyouNails  stamping plates + special nail polish, and to be honest...how could you not?

I tried for the first time these plates in May(you can read that blog post HERE!!!) and since then I've been using them every time I can.

I am curently trying out the 3rd "batch" they sent me.

I recieved 3 stamping plates (from the new collection) and also 3 special nail polish.


In the picture above you can see the nail polishes I've chosen. (I also recieved a black, a gold and a blue one , before these 3 )

I've stamped with multiple polishes (both special or normal) but I honestly think that these are the best.
They transfer perfectly, they dry very quick, they are very strong,vibrant and they are also very good for water marbeling. (I only use them for stamping but I tried once)

From the plates I've recieved this time I have used a few designs. (I still haven't got the chance to use each and everyone of them)

I will show you beneath what designs I did, using which plate.

This is plate no. 122.

I absolutely love each and one the designs.

Because I started the "31 day challange" I had to come up with a different manicure everyday so I had to use every Ace I had down my sleve.

The stamping plates were my winning hands.

So, tonight I will show you all the manicures I did using this stamping plate. (I will also write what nail polish I used for stamping)



  ( both are stamped using the Moyounails polish)


Plate number 219.

From this plate I only used the first design(giraffe) and the last(but I've had some camera issues and I lost some photos).

No worries I will do other manicures to show you the designs.

As you can see the designs transfer perfectly from the plate.

I have never encountered any problems stamping the designs (even if the design is very small- see picture above)


 (this one is stamped with the a normal polish- the same I used to dothe french- Farmasi.no 11)



Last but not least...palte number 128.

As you can see I had issues transfering one design...but this was my own fault because I didn't put enough nails polish.

From this plate I have used the 3rd design (fish scale/ fishing net) but again I don't have the photos becuase of the camera problems.

I will do new designs in no time. (I'll have a lot of time on my hands in the next couple of months so I will show you a lot of manicures).

I recently dicovered that I have some problems with my stamper : because it's round I can't always get the whole design(if they are bigger- like these ones) but I'll search a square one and I'll be doing nails in no time.



 I've also decided to show to you 2 more plates(216 left and 82 right) because I've used them a lot recently.

These plates are from the 2nd pack they're sent me to review!

 (stamped with normal paint- white from Evelyne)
 (stamped with normal nail polish : white from Evelyne and Plum Luck from Sally Hansen)
 (Stamped with normal nail polish- Gabrini nr. 357)
 (stamped with normal nail polish- Golden Rose Rich Color nr.21)
(stamped with MoyouNails nail polish)


I think that every nail artist should have at least one stamping plate!

I've fallen in love with the MoyouNails  stamping plates and I don't think I could ever go back to not having them.

Whenever I want to do a quick but cool/elegant manicure I use a plate and in no time I have a fabulous mani.

You should try them out too! (at first it might seem hard to use...but once you get the hang of it..you can't stop)

Cute TAG

Good morning darlings.

How are you today?  I think I can guess that for you : GOOD since it's FRIDAYYYY!!

I'd like  to say that myself...but since I'm on vacation...I don't really care what day of the week it is. Unfortunatelly I am not in a very good mood because of the wound I have on my finger.

I have to admit that it's already getting better (After just one day of no polish), fact that makes me happy.

Since I cannot do my nails I kept looking for something else to do...and thanks to Diana - Makeup Dream I found something nail polish related.

She did this cute and funny tag...with 11 question regarding nail polish.

What else could I have found to do? (I was planning to reorganise my polishes...but this sounds a lot better)

Before I start to answer the questions ....I will tag some friends to do it : OANA , ANDREA , ITHI , MONI   and last but not least HELENA .


1. Which color family of nail polish do you own the most of?

Well...honestly, I always thought I was a blue person (since I was little I adored blue) but...on a recent count I was socked to see that I have more GREEN polishes.
I don't know what to say about this...because everytime I think about it I start laughing. I never went to a store with the idea of buying a green nail polish.


2. Name your most favorite memory you associate with a specific polish?

 It's a bit hard for me to tell you my "fav" story about a nail polish ...because I usually buy them myself and thank god nothing happened in the stores. 
However, having a friend who apreciates and encourages what you do and like it's amazing...so my story will be about THAT friend: my dear Oana. 
A few months ago ... there was a blogsale where I saw 2 ChinaGlaze Tranzitions and fell in love at first sight with them. 
Unfortunatelly I didn't have the money to buy them...but my sweet friend decided to buy them for me, as a gift. 
I've thanked her many times for that...but I will do it again and again. 
Thank you my dear! :* 




3. What's your best-kept secret for chip-free polish?

This is going to be a funny story : the nail polish on my nails doesn't have the time to chip. :))
I usually keep the same design a maximum of 2 days...it happened only 2 or 3 times to keep a design more than 2 days. 

But, if I know I won't be able to do my nails the next day... I will for sure use the 3D Gel Top-Coat  from Farmec. 
This is the best top coat I've used until now. 


4. Which brand do you own the most colors and why is that formula your favorite? 

Even if I have a great variety of brands...the most I own is Golden Rose. 
This is the brand I've known since I was little : my mom used to buy lipstick from this brand.
I think that they are my fav because, usually, you only need 2 coats for perfect coverage, they last very well, they never chip and they also have a very good price. 



5. Name the polish you like the least in your collection and why you still hold onto it. 

This is a simple answer : my Safari yellow. 
I hate the formula : it needs at least 3 coats to look decent...and it dries very hard..but what can I do if I LOVE the colour? 
 I like it because it's not a neon yellow. (you can see it HERE )


6. Name your holy grail of polish remover? 

This is a simple one : polish remover from FARMEC. 
Even if I tried many brands...I am loyal to this one. 




7. If you use glitter or nail effects, which is your favorite brand and why? 

I have to say GoldenRose again...because they have gorgeous glitters and textured polishes. ( find them at  COSMANIA .
However, I have another collection I absolutely love...from CATRICE.( L'Afrique c'est chic)


 8. Do you match your toes to your nails when you repolish?

The answer is NO. It happened a few times...but I don't do it on purpose. 
I usually have a simple colour on my toes.

9. Name the specific polishes you've repurchased more than twice to show us your holy grail colors. 

This is a simple one : black and white. (these are my most used ''colours" )
These are soon going to be thrown away...and I will add the 3rd generation of GoldenRose no.71 and Flormar no.006

10.Do you paint accent nails or only use one color?

I think you already know the answer to this question. 
If I don't to a sophisticated design on all my nails I will surely to an accent nail. 
I feel sad if my nails don't have designs on them. 

11.Can you name the oldest polish in your collection?  

Oh yes, I surely can: ART DE LAUTREC 
This is more than just my oldest polish in my collection. SHE it my fav nail polish in the world : it was less than 1$ and it only needs one coat to be perfect. 
Unfortunately...I wasn't able to find it again , and she has dried almost completely. I won't throw her away, ever. 
(and I know I should have used "it' instead of "her/she" but she's that important to me ) 

  
I hope  you liked my answers.
I cannot  wait to see what the girls I tagged answer. 
Kisses.
