Review: MoYou Stamping Nail Polish - Purple Rain*

MoYou Stamping Nail Polish - Purple Rain

This special nail polish is a polish designed specially for stamping, although you can use it as a standard nail polish. MoYou describe the colour as "the perfect mix of mauve and grey, with a purple undertone" which is how I would also describe it. The colour on the swatch is colour accurate rather than the bottle shot.

The brush is flat and wide.

The bottle contains 12ml.

MoYou Black and White stamping polishes are my go to stamping polishes, they are opaque and show up well on any base colour. Purple Rain is also opaque and stamps over light base polishes, which hopefully shows in my nail art below:

[MoYou Purple Rain + MoYou 128]

[MoYou Purple Rain + MoYou 128]

Overall this is a good stamping polish, opaque, stamps well, and definitely covers a lighter base polish.

Purple Rain - £6.99

Nail Polish Battle 2014: Pink + Purple

Not nearly enough purples have came my way this year!

 Leighton Denny - Pillow Talk // Leighton Denny - Crushed Grape // Barry M - Bikini // OPI - Do You Have This Color in Stock-Holm? // W7 - Purple Rain

Firstly I chose my two favourites from this section, both of these are gorgeous cream colours. Bikini is the lighter of the two, and has cute limited edition packaging.

The winner has to be the OPI, a beautiful colour which translates two or three shades lighter on the nail than in the bottle. I prefer darker purples.
