Stamping-Plate-Review-MoYou-454-Valentines-Day-Disrepair-Hearts

This is a square stamping plate (550mm x 550mm) which is plastic backed, and comes in a cardboard sleeve. It has 16 single images on the plate, all are hearts in various state of disrepair which is quite unique from the typical hearts for Valentine's Day.

The images stamped across well using a light hand to scrape off the polish. The designs are quite intricately designed and show broken, partially repaired hearts

Below are a couple of nail designs I have done using MoYou 454;

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster Holiday Collection H18 (BMH18)

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

H18 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 four full nail images and two smaller images.

All of the images stamped across well. I quite like the zebra print heart, with a clear stamper it should be a lot easier to get the right location on the nail.

Here are some nails I have done using this plate;

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;
