Review: Messy Mansion MM85XL (Or, my knitted valentine)

(Press samples ahead!)

Hello!


Can you smell it?? Can you smell it?? Love is in the air!!


Okay, yeah, that was a little cheesy. But, whether you like it or not, Valentine's Day is on the way! And ever since I saw Messy Mansion's MM85XL plate, I've been waiting to do a Valentine's mani with it, because several of the knit patterns look to me like hearts. Here's the video review I did of the plate:

And let's take a direct look at it:

Sure, there's plenty on here if you sew or knit or crochet. But don't forget all that texture! The burlap-y one on the bottom right. The loopy one and the basket weave in the top middle. And as far as my eyes can see, lots of little hearts. :)

The full-nail images on the plate are 3/4 of an inch wide and about an inch tall (approx 1.9 x 2.5 cm), and the shot by the ruler will help you get a feel for how big the other images are.


But does it stamp well?

I'd call this pretty darn good image pick-up and tranfer. :)


For my manicure, I started with a base of Girly Bits Danger Zone, and then stamped two of the 'heart' images with Messy Mansion Dogwood Pink. Then I free-handed on several hearts with Messy Mansion Petal:

What do you think, isn't this a great mani for Valentine's Day? I think it's fun, bright, and girly. You know I'm not a pink girl or a hearts girl, but I didn't want to take this mani off, that's how in love with it I was. :)
