Review & mani: UberChic Beauty's The Far East 01 Koi pond mani with UberChic Beauty The Far East 01 plateplate

(Press sample)

Hello!

Today I have a plate review for you, UberChic Beauty's The Far East 01 plate...As usual, I made a video review of the plate for your viewing pleasure:





And, of course, I have still shots of the plate, to display all of its awesomeness:

I don't think there's a single image on this plate that I don't love. Koi fish? Check. Beautiful Geishas perfect for reversed-stamping decals? Check. Awesome ninjas? Check. Beautiful flowers and babmboo and medallions and fans and dragons and...on and on and on. So much beauty in one place.

Here's a shot with a ruler to give you a sense of size:

Excellent detail for stamping goodness!

I'll admit I had a hard time deciding which image to use first--this plate makes my brain 'splode with ideas--but finally settled on the awesome Koi images. I started with Barielle Sheer Nonsense, from their Hot Chic collection (click here to see my full review):





I stamped the little koi image and part of the big koi image and then colored them in using Sally Hansen White On and Barielle Orange U Jealous; I stamped the characters directly on my ring finger in Wet n Wild XX, and in China Glaze Passion on my middle finger. Then I applied my reversed stamping to my ring and pinkie fingers:

So delicate, so pretty. It's like a cloissone box or broach on my very own fingers...Classical and elegant.

What do you think--what masterpieces would you love to make with this plate?

Happy stamping,
M.

  2. rofl, I totally lost it at your reaction to ninjas!! :D That was awesome. Also, you HAVE to (pretty pleeeasseeee?) do something cute with that panda (pandas are the bestest ever!).

    And what you did with this mani..just wow. Stunning.
