Stamping Plate: MoYou Nails - 108

MoYou Nails have recently released a new batch of stamping plates. I have used the brand before and have purchased plates from them before, you can see my reviews on their other plates 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 if a little wonky thanks for my squishy stamper I was using, seems to work better on my nails than paper. 108 is a music themed plate, with seven images on it. The guitar is quite unique, quite a filigree pattern to it.

Tri-Polish Challenge: Blue, Yellow and Red #1

This challenge has been going on for well over a year now, but the idea is there are three colours pre-picked and you find those three colours in your stash and use them in some kind of nail art. For the blue I used Max Factor's Odyssey Blue, the yellow Collection 2000's Sorbet and the red is ELF's Red Velvet.

I used Jacava Vanilla Slice as the base.
