Review: MoYou Stamping Nail Polish - Red*

Review-MoYou-Stamping-Nail-Polish-RedMoYou Stamping Nail Polish - Red

 This special nail polish is a polish designed specially for stamping, it comes in a small cardboard box.

MoYou describe it; "This classic MoYou Red stamping nail polish is perfect for your Christmas nail decorations and also to add brilliance in the summer sun. Use it as a base with Gold and Silver or in stamping to add a Glam touch to your nails"

As they say you can use it as a standard nail polish, which I have swatched below;
Review-MoYou-Stamping-Nail-Polish-Red

The colour on the swatch is accurate, it is a classic red shade which dries to a semi matte finish. As well as it being good for Christmas I think it would be good for Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day. The brush is flattened and wide.

Review-MoYou-Stamping-Nail-Polish-Red

I have tried this over a dark base as well as a light base and I would say while it does cover lighter bases, over a black it just doesn't show up at all which hopefully the photo shows.

It is a good stamping polish, opaque, and stamps well. I have used it in some nail art which you can see below;

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster Holiday Collection H17 (BMH17)

Bundle Monster have a collection called the 'Holiday Collection' which consists of 25 different plates.

H17 is a Valentine's Day themed plate.

This stamping plate is backed with branded backing, so it doesn't have sharp edges, each plate has six images on them. This particular plate has two full nail images and four smaller images.

Most of the images stamped across well, think I needed to double scrape the lips as this has stamped fine in the past. I like the swans and will need to get around to using them soon!

Here is a set of nails I did using this plate:

Review: Barry M - Matte Topcoat

In the past I have owned ELF Matte and Asda's George Matte top coats. My one from Asda had been used up and I decided to try out Barry M's offering.


Colour: Smoky but clear
Finish: Matte
Opacity: One Coat
Brush Type: Flat, Rounded Cuticle
How Much? 10ml

 

I really like this matte topcoat, it does what it is supposed to do and the brush is ideal for me. I will repurchase this once I have finished this bottle.
