Review: UberChic Beauty Love & Marriage 03 (with sample mani featuring Spellbound Nails Peppermint Mocha Latte!)

(Press samples ahead!)

Hello!


I'm back today with the last of the newest releases from UberChic Beauty, Love & Marriage 03, just in time for Valentine's Day! Here's the video review I did for the plate:




Let's take a close-up look at the plate:

Plate size: 9.5 cm x 14 cm
Full-nail image size: 1.7 cm x 2.1 cm (5/8th of an inch x 6/8ths of an inch)


What I love best on this plate: So many layering images! And you probably know I'm not a big fan of hearts, but I was surprised to find quite a few heart images on this that I just adore--my favorites are the double hearts with the smaller hearts inside the bigger hearts--this just looks like a perfect mother and child image to me. :) I also love that there are hearts in different sizes, which makes for cute laying (see below!), and I'm over the moon for the little candy hearts you can stamp with whatever expressions you want. 


As far as the smaller elements, here's a look next to a ruler so you can get a feel for their relative size: 




So how do they stamp? Check out these swatches:





Seriously, just look at the detail on that lace. And these are done with a clear stamper. Darned impressive.


For my sample mani, I started with Spellbound Nails Peppermint Mocha Latte, which has called out to me for Valentine's decorations since I first saw it. Then I first stamped some teeny hearts with Messy Mansion Holly, and then the larger interlocking hearts with Messy Mansion Red-y Or Not:

I love this sooo much, and that's saying something for someone who normally doesn't like hearts at all!! I love the way the glitter plays with the hearts to create three layers of size, and the colors keep every thing from going a little too sweet. I would wear this all Valentine's Day, every Valentine's Day.


You can find this plate in UberChic Beauty's store. You can also follow them on Facebook and Instagram, and there's a Facebook group dedicated to sharing all things UberChic Beauty, if you want to check it out.


Happy stamping!

    1. Hehe, I know what you mean. Sometimes I look at a plate and I'm like 'hmm, I don't know' and then I see what people do with it, and I'm done, lol! :)
