Nani the dog nails with MoYou Nails 405 and 408

Hi Everbody,

Remember in my review about the new MoYou Nails Square plates I showed you these doggy nails and I promised to write a blog post about it too. They/we are still so busy at home with the new bathroom and everything got delayed again :( I have been doing my nails, just not as often. 

But I did these nails about 2 weeks ago when we went to pick up our adoption doggy Nani.

Base a gradient with  China Glaze Tickle my Triangle and How About a Tumble, stamped the paw prints from MoYou Nails 405 using Konad and MdU polish. The puppy is from 408. The letters come from Nailways Back to Basics - 123ABC.

Nani is 11 months old and from Spain, she was dumped as a small pup in the fields to die :( But since August she was in a Spanish shelter and November 8th she arrived here in Holland and stayed with a foster mom. We decided to adopt her. We already showed interest in her when we saw her "adopt me" poster on facebook and we filled in the application.  They liked us and we were allowed to contact her foster mom. When we called we heard she ran away in the forest when she was with her foster mom and got scared from 2 bigger dogs. So the next day we helped search for her. And I was the one who actually found her.

 Her first night with us and she met her "niece" Yoshi the red wired hair Dachshund.

This were my nails for good luck when we helped searching for her. And you see me with her when we just found her. Then it was not even sure we would be her adoption parents but who could resist that cute little face. I was so happy we found her. 

Base is Essence Happy Girls are Pretty LE 02 Happy Girls Rock. Stamped the paws with HB 37 and the dog is from MoYou Nails 66.

We are so happy to have this sweet little girl with us.

Thank you for reading.

Spring time...doggies in love

Hi Everyone,

Today a mani I've done a few weeks ago. It was one of my 2 entries in a Spring themed contest. They picked 5 finalist, this mani wasn't one of them, but my other entry was.

A subtle green/yellow gradient with Lime Crime Pastelchio and Lime Crime Crema de Limon. On top INM Nothern lights topcoat. Stamped the flowers with Konad PSN neon green and MoYou 216, the doggies in love are from MoYou 66, I made stamping decals of those and mirror stamped one doggy from stamper to stamper before coloring it. The heart is dotted with a dotting tool.

And another picture.

Also some swatches of the base. You can see the gradient better.

I really liked this base.

Thanks for reading.

MoYou Nails: Dachshunds in love

Hi Everyone,

Remember I few weeks ago I posted the Dinosaur nails and showed you the plates I got from Moyou Nails I then promised to do another mani with both these plates. Well here it is, I did this earlier but did not had time to blog about them yet.

The base a subtle yellow gradient with Boulevard Ice Cream polish yellow, OPI Need Sunglasses and Essence Cherry Blossom Girl 01 Fortune Cookie.  Stamped the black Dachshunds with Moyou nails 66 and the red and orange flowers from Moyou nails 216. Added some dots in the flowers and dotted the little hearts .Used Konad stamping polishes. I mirror stamped one Dachshund (from stamper to stamper and then on the nail).

Here some pics of the gradient base.

My sister has a wire haired Dachshund and know that these ones aren't the same but still I had to do this Dachshund mani :)

Like I said in my Dinosaur post the plates stamp really well and so does the stamper. The quality is great! Make sure to check out their site for more great plates. And they also have facebook and instagram and twitter for those who have that ;) 

Thanks for reading :)

MoYou Nails review: Dinosaur nails

Hi Everyone,

Today I'll show you a mani made with MoYou Nails plates. Or should I say the "other" MoYou with the round plates, also known as OMG nails :)

These 2 plates are my first MoYou nails plates, I have to say I was happily suprised... the quailty of the plates is amazing. I really love the perfect backing, no sharp edges (they reminded me of Konad plates when I look at qualilty and that is a good thing :) ) And they stamp really well too. I had no problems at all. The full nail images are a little narrow/small, 1,8 cm by 1 cm. So the lenght is okay but 1 cm in width might be too small for many people. Luckily my nails are not so width so I could use them as a full nail stamp. But I always find other ways to use them too, like a diagonal sort of french tip stamp or a normal french tip. See pictures below. First lets show the final mani I've made with these plates.

Base is China Glaze OMG A UFO, stamped the full nails and the diagonal french with Konad moss green and MoYou 216. The dinosaurs are from MoYou 66 stamped with Konad black.

Here another picture with different lighting.

And here you can see just the full nail image. As you can see even though it is narrow it still fits my nails (maybe not my middle finger and thumb they are a little wider). You can also see how I used it as sort of a diagonal french tip stamp on the other fingers. I like using stamps in another ways to make them work :) Or use just part of an image.

 The full nail image reminded me of animal skin so I thought it went well with the dinosaurs on top.

Here also some swatches of the greenish holo base polish.

I really liked this polish it's an unique color.

MoYou nails send me 2 plates 66 and 216 (my choice) and as you know I prefer single images more then full nail images, but I thought it would be nice to show you 2 different plates from them. So I chose a plate with single images and one with full nail images (also great for layering) to have more options and show you different kind of mani's.

I also received their stamper and plastic scraper. The stamper stamps great and needed no buffing. I know many people love squishy stampers but my favorite is still the Konad double ended stamper. And this stamper reminded me of that stamper. I like a little firm stamper for good placement. For stamping full nails a more softer stamper sometimes is easier, but still I did not had any problems with it. You just have to roll the image from left to right (or the other way around ;) ) I have tried several plastic scrapers but I always still love my metal scrapers. Though for a plastic scraper this one really wasn't bad :) (maybe my favorite plastic one). But that is just all personal preferences. I guess after so many years I am just used to my metal ones despite the fact they leave small scratches on the plates. 

In the catalogue you can see all their plates and the sets they sell. It's fun to have so I can easily watch all the images. And I'v read they will release some more plates soon. Make sure to check out their facebook page too for any news/updates.

Here also a pictures of the 2 plates.

I already have a few other ideas for these plates, so expect some more mani's from me with these soon too ;) (I really love the Dachshund since my sister has one).

I don't have instagram or twitter but I thought lets share MoYou's instagram and twitter account for those of you who do have that ;)

*Even though I received these plates for a review I doesn't affect my opinion. 

Thank you so much for reading.

Have a nice weekend!
