Review & Mani: UberChic Beauty Fabulous Feathers mini plate

(Press samples and affiliate links ahead!)

Hello nail lovelies!

Today I have the second of the new mini plates from UberChic Beauty, their Fabulous Feathers plate. I have a video with this plate and the Nautical plate if you prefer your reviews in motion:

And here are the still shots:

I love love LOVE peacock feathers of all sorts, and even if this plate had nothing else on it, I'd need it for that reason alone. I love the elegant stylized peacock feather design that looks like a beautiful tail cascading down, and the close-up of the end of the tail with the curvies framing it. Then the one with the little hearts for the dots--so many choices in just peacock feathers! And then there are the other beauties, some that look like falling leaves, and some with such beautiful full-nail texture.

The full-nail images are the same size as the ones on UberChic Beauty's other plates, a little more than 3/4 of an inch by a little under 3/4 of an inch:

And the stamping quality is top-notch as always:

Normally when I do peacock manicures, I choose shades of blue, green, and blue-leaning purples, so I thought I'd go for something a little different this time. For my first manicure, I started with a base of Julep Mickey, a right magenta with a purple-pink shimmer:

Then I stamped two of the images from the plate with Hit The Bottle Polishes Copper-Haired Girl, and decorated with Zoya Tanzy and Zoya Rory:

I do like how this came out, but it didn't quite have the bright pop that I wanted, and the colors were crazy hard to take pictures of for some reason together. So I did a second version! This time I started with Color Club Foxy Mama, a bright-as-can-be orange neon with a yellow shimmer:

Then I stamped the images using Sally Hansen Rapid Red, and decorated with Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow and Zoya Reece:

What do you think? That's a lot of look! I love the pop of the red against the orange, but I love the more jewel-toned version too. The orange is great for a fun summer party, while the first one has more of a fall feel to me. Do you prefer one over the other?


You can find this gorgeous plate in UberChic Beauty's store, and don't forget to follow them on Facebook for updates, sales, and other awesome info.
