Stamping Plate: MoYou - 101

Recently MoYou have really started to re-brand. I have used the brand before and have purchased plates from them before, you can see those reviews herehere and here. This plate was sent for reviewing purposes, which won't effect my opinion.

As you can see the plates come in a cellophane package and have a blue plastic layer to protect the plate in transit. The plates are fully backed as well with the website address, this is useful as it also means no sharp edges.

 Below is the images stamped on to white paper. They all stamped well other than the eyes on the left of the photo, this seems to be a problem with me not being quick enough at stamping though rather than a problem with the plate. These are quirky designs and something different from the floral and filigree patterns typically found on plates.

Nails: Pokemon - Poliwag, Diglett, Jigglypuff, Pokeball

I used A England's Encore Margot as the base and everything else is freehanded acrylic paints.

This is without the sticker and without topcoat, sometimes photographing polish / nail art is difficult with a very shiny topcoat.

And finally a close up of Diglett, Poliwag and Jigglypuff.
