I am constantly looking for new things to do with my nails. I like the quirky sets and things that we can buy ourselves and do at home – and I love all of the trends that come and go with nails. They have become a staple part of fashion and beauty – and I will always be (way too) enthusiastic to try the next best thing in the nail world – with the everchanging newest fads.
Nail varnish is becoming more advanced in formulas and more creative too (remember magnetic nail varnish?), and allowing everyone to get in on the trends with ease; by creating new ways for people to recreate beautiful nails without having to go to a salon.
Nail stamping is something I’ve seen a lot of on my Instagram – so I wanted to try this out for myself. I was lucky enough to get my hands on some of these fab stamps from the world’s leading innovator in stamping nail art plates..
MoYou are a London-based nail art company that specialise in innovative nail stamping plates, designs and polishes, too. They have the biggest selection of high-quality nail art plates for you to get any design you please.
What are nail art plates? Well, they are literally metal plates that are embossed with a pattern or design. You simply paint onto the pattern, wipe off the access, and transfer the now-nail-polish pattern onto your nail itself with their handy little rubber transfer..
The individual plates cost £4.99 with an array of designs to choose form on each – and all of the extra tools are available on their site ranging from £2.99-£6 for a MoYou stamper and scraper.
We had a play at the BATD office – and I ended up doing everyone’s nails here! We all loved it. It is easy, fast, and once you get the hang of it, you do get quicker and easier – and your design turns out more flawless too.
I want to add that different nail varnishes work better than others. Which is why MoYou have done the brilliant thing with supplying their very own special Stamping Nail Polishes. This is because these particular colours allow the stamper to easily pick up images and transfer perfectly to your nails in just one coat, while standing out clearly against base coats. They have a range of colours, for example, a yellow with a strong pigmentation – that it even stamps over a black base. They cost around £4.99 each.
MoYou have an inspiring Instagram – @MoYou_London and YouTube Channel which supply tutorials, and updates on their latest collections available. Check out this lovely tutorial – this one was my favourite.. I need these nails!
