Lacquer or Leave Her!: UberChic Beauty Collection 17!

(Press samples ahead!)

Hello!

UberChic Beauty just keeps churning out awesome plates, and today we're going to take a look at collection 17. Here's the video review I made of the plates:

Let's take a closer look:

UberChic Beauty 17-01

What I love most about this plate: I love the geometric flowers in the infinity image, and the lacy medallions you can mix and match that will give any mani a huge dose of class--but my very favorite thing on this plate is the layering ivy images at the top that can double as hearts. :)

UberChic Beauty 17-02

What I love most about this plate: I love the dotted circle images, and the layering columns of dots (they remind me of those zen stones you stack in a zen garden). I love the interlaced Xes, but my favorite thing on this plate are the dot patterns up on the top, especially the one that looks like a peace sign. :)

UberChic Beauty 17-03

What I love most about this plate: I love the line-and-pixel images and the watermarbles, but by far the coolest thing here is the flower infinity image at the bottom that gives you all of that free edge to play with. Use it for half-moon images and French tips, to let the flowers cascade down half of your nails--you have so many options when you aren't forced to use just a rectangular images with straight edges. Take advantage of it!

UberChic Beauty's full-nail images are 17mm X 21mm. Here's a look at the relative size of the other images on the plates:

How do they stamp? Let's take a look:

These were done with a clear stamper, and even the fine lines are gorgeous. That's top-notch stuff right there.

For my first mani, I started with a base of Penny Bloom Waves On The Ocean (my own creation, made in their design-your-own-polish studio); I stamped mix-and-match images from 17-01 and 17-03 with Messy Mansion Amalfi Coast:

I love how well Amalfi Coast goes with the blue glitters in this, and of course the pizesl really play well with the square glitters. This is fun with a hint of techno edge, and I didn't want to take it off. And check out how easy it is to do something a little different with just one simple stamp per nail when you have the matching images to mix-n-match. :)

For my second mani, I used a base of Penny Bloom Summer Sunshine (another creation of mine!), and then I stamped with Messy Mansion Red-y Or Not, Banana Bender, and Summer Heat:

I love the scribbly flowers and this time of year I love any mani that combines shades of yellow, orange and red. Also, with this mani I wanted to show an example of what I talk a lot about in my video reviews--the design potential you get from a plate when there are matching images with different scales. Yes, I could have just layered the full nail image in different colors, but having the option to layer a bigger flower over the smaller flowers give the mani depth and variation that's more pleasing to the eye. UberChic Beauty is the absolute leader at giving options like this.
