Hello!!
Yes, I'm back again with another nail plate review...this time it's MoYou London Sci-Fi collection plate 07! I wasn't really into the first Sci-Fi plates they came out with, so I was totally stoked when I saw these.
First, of course, here is my video review:
And here's the still shots:

This plate isn't quite a normal plate, and it isn't quite one of their collage-style plates, either; it's a combination that has a lot of single images, and a little bit of broader patterned areas. So my recommendations for using this plate are to:
1) Use for single images.
The single images here are great for spaceships, planets, funky hot-air ballons, lightning bolts and star bursts, even ray guns. :)
2) Use larger areas for full-nail images.
There are at least five areas here that you should be able to use if you have medium nails, and two, possibly three, more if you have smaller nails:

Here is a mani I did using the patterns on that cool nexus ribbon in the center:

3) Build-a-scene!
Instead of using the single images just willy-nilly, why not build a scene with them? Tell a story with your nails, baby! This is what I'm going to show you today. Recently we had Comicon here in California; it's way too far away for me to go, but I wanted to honor it in spirit with today's before-and-after.
I started with an stunning blue holographic jelly that also contains--wait for it--a spray of glitter! I give you LynBDesigns Absolutely Absolem:

How gorgeous is that holo?! You can see the glitter better in the shade shots, below.
For my outer-space design, I stamped with Sally Hansen Silver Sweep, and I topped it off with two blue rhinestones on my laser gun fire:

You can see that the intricate designs stamp well. And I love the way the glitter looks in this polish, just an extra bit of special!
So what do you think about this plate?

That is freakin cool! I'm definitely pinning this to my little nail art inspiration board I have going! I love your nails! I'm learning a lot! ^_^
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I love nail stamping, it's so easy to get such amazing results. :)
DeleteI'm ashamed to say I have NEVER tried MoYou! I love this plate!
ReplyDeleteShame on you! (Kidding). They have so many plates, there's something for everyone, which makes it very easy to spend way too much money, lol!
DeleteSome very fun sci fi designs on this plate. Its so exciting seeing all the new plates come out every Friday too.
ReplyDeleteThey are so prolific, I don't know how they do it...
DeleteAwesome review, amazing manicures, and for all a moyou plate I previously had no interest in...eeek, you are bad for me!!!! <3
ReplyDeleteLOL!! I've been accused of that before! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
DeleteThat is really cool. Also, such a great review! I really appreciated the detail and examples.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful. :)
DeleteCool nail art. I really like your blue polish too. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Isn't that polish amazing?
Deletewow my husband would love this plate, thank you for sharing your review
ReplyDeleteLOL, I hear you! In some of the nail art groups I'm in, we have 'picked by my husband' challenges. :)
DeleteVery cool and funny nail art...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! :)
DeleteSo awesome! I'm a complete nerd when it comes to sci-fi, and this looks like it would be so much fun to play with.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I like best about these plates, especially the collage-y ones. They are just fun to play around with. :)
Deletethese look really interesting! the most adventurous i get with my nails is getting the japanese gel nail art. i had no idea about the nail places!
ReplyDeleteNow I have that Katy Perry song in my head, lol! I love the nail plates because you can do intricate things with pretty much no skill. :)
DeleteThose are awesome!!! It's amazing to see how intricate the designs can get, courtesy of laser etching. Love the way they came out, particularly the little droid and explosions (and rhinestone detailing) against the blue glitter. So cool!

Thank you so much! It is amazing what they can do with these plates. :)
DeleteI'm sitting here in awe! Holy awesome! The idea is super cool and the nails turned out gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks so much, you're awesome!! Thank you thank you. :)
DeleteWhat?! I didn't know this even existed. If I had the follow-through, I'd totally try it.
ReplyDeleteLOL! That was the same reaction I saw when I first found out about them. I'd always been afraid of nail art because I don't draw well, and these are amazing.
DeleteI've always been fascinated by nail art created by plates but I'm not patient enough to do it on my own. These are so cool!
ReplyDeleteYou should give it a shot. I bet you'd do great. :)
DeleteI LOVE this!!! And curse you, cause now I HAVE to have Absolutely Absalom! lol
ReplyDeleteDarling, you will not regret it! It is completely amazenormousballzgantic. <3
DeleteThis is such a cool plate! I LOVE your second mani and I am intrigued by the wormhole-esque pattern on the left of the plate!
ReplyDeleteYes!! Isn't that soooo cool? Wormhole nails are in my future, lol! And thanks for the compliment. :)
