Moon Shine;

Moon Shine is described as a cream shimmer. This is three coats of it and you can still see my smile line. This would work well as a topper.

The base coat is good, it leaves your nails matte which helps the polish to stick, it is also a pink, nude colour which helps disguise any discoloration your nails might have. The Crystal Finish top coat is relatively quick drying, and does leave a nice shine to the nails. An improvement on the previous version.

Stamping Plate: MoYou London - Festive Collection 03 (XL)

 MoYou-London-Festive-Collection-03-XL

This stamping plate is the XL sized one, meaning the full nail images are 1.5cm by 2cm. Festive Collection 03 has 12 full nail images on it, the plate as with all MoYou London plates is backed with white plastic.

I used Kleancolor Metallic Fuchsia 144 to stamp with and all of the images stamped fine. I had a bit of a problem with the swirl images that is because it has a lot of space, but changing my scraping method to more of a 45 degree angle it worked fine.

I haven't had the chance to use this much yet but I am sure it will get used more in December. You can see all of the designs I have done using this here once I have.
