Review and Before & After: UberChic Beauty Christmas 01 plate

(Press sample; affiliate links)

Hello!

It's about that time, that time of the year again! Hearts are light and full of good cheer again!

(What the heck is that song from??)

That's right, the holidays are upon us, full of winterland wonders and holiday fun. If you're like me, your manicures need to get in the spirit, and the new Christmas 01 plate from UberChic Beauty is just the right way to do it.

You know I made a video review for you:



And now let's take a look at the still shots:

I love that the plate has a mixture of images for both Christmas specifically, and winter in general. I love the detailed snowflakes, and that filigree tree; the penguin and the Rudolphs and the little elf at the bottom make me smile! And don't forget that the presents can be used for other occasions (birthdays, showers, etc.).


How big are those images? Let's take a look at the relative sizes:

The full-nail images are going to cover unless you have really long nails, and most of the individual images are going to be small enough to fit on your nails, unless you have very short nails.


I did a couple of test swatches:





And I also did a test manicure. I started with Literary Lacquers Stinky Little Truck, which will go on sale Dec. 1st:

I stamped several of the snowflakes using Konad White:

I love this manicure--subtle, wintery, sparkly. Check out the detail and how beautifully those stamp! Like laser lace cut-outs, crisp and pristine.

I hope you've having a wonderful winter, and are ready for whichever holidays you celebrate!

  3. Just call poinsettia "a Christmas star" - problem solved. :)
    Anyway! The image of it on this plate is sooo pretty. Also the swirly tree. ♥ The Rudolph(s). And lights! And that penguin!! ..ahh, just all too lovely. (the offer still stands, though: please adopt me, I want "spring like weather" in winter too! :)).
    Can't wait to see more from you using this plate. This test mani is just beautiful; so elegant, really looks like some sort of lace-y pattern.
    Great review!
