UberChic Beauty Hello Fall & Pumpkin Spice and Football is Life

(Press samples and affiliate links ahead!)

Hello!


Today we're gonna take a look at two recent mini-plate releases from UberChic Beauty, their Hello Fall & Pumpkin Spice plate, and their Football is Life plate.


Here's the quick video I did for the Hello Fall & Pumpkin Spice plate:



And here's the Football is Life:



Difficulty: The football is life plate is a beginners plate, while the Hello Fall & Pumpkin Spice plate is a little more of a mixed bag that leans toward intermediate. I think the Football plate does an amazing job of taking football themes and giving them a potentially feminine leaning, and I love the Pumpkin Spice plate to mix with other plates--lovely fall saying to complement any fall-themed manis you make. :)


Here are the swatches I did with the plates:




On to the manis!

UberChic Beauty Hello Fall & Pumpkin Spice over Stella Chroma Pumpkin Everything

Base Polish(es): Stella Chroma Pumpkin Everything (with hashes of Hug The Road)
Stamping Plate(s): UberChic Beauty Hello Fall & Pumpkin Spice
Stamping Polish(es): Beauty Big Bang Gold,

I love the manicure so hard, but it was impossible to get to photograph well! I swiped some Hug The Road (an orange jelly) over the base polish and the stampig to make it look like a patchwork pond mani. It does still look cool here, but I just wish I'd been able to get it in the picture! If you compare the mani below, which uses the same base polish, you'll get an idea of what I mean.


UberChic Beauty Hello Fall & Pumpkin Spice over Stella Chroma Pumpkin Everything
Base Polish(es): Stella Chroma Pumpkin Everything
Stamping Plate(s): UberChic Beauty Hello Fall & Pumpkin Spice
Stamping Polish(es): It Girl Nail Art Mimosa, Kaleidoscope White, Black

I love the way the 'naked' nail makes the pumpkin spice latte pop off this one!


UberChic Beauty Football is Life over The Lady Varnishes Avada Kedavra --What A Wonderful Phrase!
Base Polish(es): The Lady Varnishes Avada Kedavra--What a Wonderful Phrase! (no longer available, but check out her other beauties here)
Stamping Plate(s): UberChic Beauty Football is Everything
Stamping Polish(es): Hit The Bottle Everyday I'm Truffling, China Glaze Passion

This came out a little muddier than I liked, so I consider it a fail...if I had it to do over, I'd do the shadow stamping with white rather than gold. The idea was to pull out the gold in the base polish, but that worked far better in theory than practice!


UberChic Beauty Football is Life over Zoya Foster
Base Polish(es): Zoya Foster, Sally Hansen Blacky O
Stamping Plate(s): UberChic Beauty Football is Everything
Stamping Polish(es): China Glaze Passion, Kaleidoscope Black

Ah, yes, much clearer! The gold plays much better with the creme base here, and with the creme stamping.


Both of these plates are available now in UberChic Beauty's store. :)


Big hugs,
