***NEW*** ÜberChic 10-2 Stamping Plate Swatches

I've got a new videoup on my YouTube channel feathering the brand new plate 10-2 from UberChic Beauty.

As usual, the plate is stunning and is a pleasure to use.  It's full of lovely images that are great to stamp and are etched perfectly.

I've used a base of gel polishes from Bundle Monster to stamp over.  '

I've again stamped with Pinguino.  This is a super pigmented black stamping polish by Esmaltes da Kelly and it's available from Beautometry, who will ship worldwide via FedEx.

I've also used my Clear Dixie Stamper to stamp with and that's available in my Dixie Girlxox online store.

Back to the plate!  I LOVE and if you're a stamping enthusiast like me, then you need set 10 in your life!

I've linked all the products I used in the description bar below the video and I will have the next two plate videos up very shortly.

Enjoy,

***NEW*** ÜberChic 10-1 Stamping Plate Swatches

I've got a new video up on my YouTube channel feathering the brand new plate 10-1 from UberChic Beauty.

As usual, the plate is stunning and is a pleasure to use.  It's full of gorgeous images from floral, to mandala to gorgeous shapes.  It's always a pleasure to use UberChic plates.  They're always well etched and well made.  The designs are always unique and gorgeous.

I could quite honestly say you could just order each set without seeing them and you'd never be disappointed.

I've used a base of gel polishes from Bundle Monster to stamp over.  I've stamped with an amazing black stamping polish from Esmaltes da Kelly, called Pinguino.  This is super pigmented and just gorgeous when stamped.  The only thing I would say when using this particular colour is let it dry for a couple of seconds on your stamper before stamping as this is a very 'wet' polish and can smudge if you're not careful.

I've finally found a distributor for Esmaltes da Kelly who I highly recommend.  If you know me, you will know that I won't recommend a company unless I personally am 100% happy to buy from them.  In this case I definitely am happy and couldn't recommend Beautometry highly enough.

They're based in the USA but will ship worldwide via FedEx.  Shipping is a little more expensive than regular shipping.  This is because there are many rules and regulations around shipping polishes due to flammability.

I've also used my Clear Dixie Stamper to stamp with and that's available in my Dixie Girlxox online store.

Back to the plate!  I can't really say much more about UberChic than I already have.  Customer service is excellent, shipping is quick and always well packed and the plates themselves are just gorgeous.

I've linked all the products I used in the description bar below the video and I will have the next two plate videos up very shortly.

Madam Glam Gel Polish Swatches #2

I've got a new video up on my YouTube channel featuring the rest of my collection of gel polishes from Madam Glam.

I uploaded the first video last week and you can watch it HERE if you are interested in seeing the latest colours to be released by Madam Glam.

The gel polishes are beautiful to use, reasonably priced and a great size at 15ml.

Even though Madam Glam is not a professional brand, you won't be disappointed by the quality of the products.  I use Madam Glam on my nails on a regular basis and get the same amount of wear time as I do if I use a professional gel polish.

If you are interested in seeing any specific nail art tutorials or you would like to see swatch comparisons of any of the colours I've shown in the videos, please leave me a comment and I'll get it done for you.

All the names of the colours, along with links, are listed in the description bar below the video.

Moyra Fabric Texture Stamping Plate

I've got a new video up on my YouTube channel featuring the Fabric Texture plate from Moyra.

This is a new brand to me and they have some really beautiful plate designs.  Obviously this one is all sort of different fabrics.  

The plates are 14.5cm by 9.5cm, the same size as Über Chic Beauty and B.loves Plates, and the Moyra plates have 20 images on them. They've managed to add some more images, and also make them larger, by making the space between each image slightly smaller.

The images are larger (around the size of a standard Australian postage stamp) and great if you have longer nails.  

The images are well etched and easy to stamp.  The plates also come in gorgeous colourful sleeves, to protect the plate from scratching.

I have six plates in total so I will review each one individually.

I believe there are a couple of suppliers in the UK who I can highly recommend.  The first being Rainbow Connection and the second being Susan's Nail Store.  Both are highly reputable and I have several friends who order from both.

I should point out here, I will not recommend a supplier I do not have faith in.  I don't want to recommend someone to you that I wouldn't buy from myself.

I've used a base of several gel polish colours from several brands and stamped with my trusty Fab Ur Nails XL gold stamper and Snowed In from Hit The Bottle.

All products used are listed in the description bar below the video.

Caribbean Collection | Gel II

I've got a new video up on my YouTube channel featuring the lovely new Caribbean Collection from Gel II.  In the video, I show each colour, along with a selection of similar colours from the shades I already owned.

The colours are gorgeous and vibrant, perfect for Spring and Summer.

The shade names are:

G206 Floral Flirtation
G207 Mango Tango
G208 Tropical Craze
G209 Caribbean Vibe
G210 Flora Bora
G211 Purple Twilight

Each shade is nicely pigmented and you get a good opacity with two coats.

There are a couple of significant changes with this collection.  The first being a label change.  The old labels were predominantly black with a band of colour at the bottom.  The new labels are the same colour as the shades in the bottle, with the name of the colour in a white font across a small black band in the middle of the label.

The other more significant change is the cure time.  Each colour coat needs to be cured for 50 seconds, rather than the original 30 seconds.  This change relates to this collection, and all colours going forward.

I've listed the products in the description bar below the video.

Kaleidoscopic Stamper & Fashionista 16 Plate Review | MoYou London

I've got a new video up on my YouTube channel featuring the new Kaleidoscopic Stamper and the new plate 16 from the Fashionista collection.  Both products are from MoYou London and they ship worldwide (with some exceptions).

I've used black stamping polish from Nail Stamping Queen and I am stamping over a gorgeous base of LadyLike from Madam Glam.  I am currently obsessed with this colour, a gorgeous shimmering light rose gold / bronze colour.  A nice twist on the nudes that I usually wear.

The Fashionista plate is all lace images and they are just stunning.  These would be perfect for bridal nails, or anyone that loves lace.  The images are well etched and I had no issue with picking up perfect stamps every time.

The one thing I will say, when cleaning the plate with a cotton pad, I found I got a lot of fuzzies stuck in the etching so I went over the plate with a lint-free cloth.  Obviously this is not an issue.  It's a sign that the etching is very well done.

The stamper is fantastic.  I love the long handle and the fact that you can precisely place your image on the nail with no issue, due to the clear stamper.  I was a little worried that because the stamper wasn't sticky, it would be tricky to get a clean image.  Not the case at all.  The stamper picked up perfectly every time with no priming or cleaning before use.

If you are interested in purchasing any of the Madam Glam products, I have a 30% off code.  Simply enter kate30 at checkout for your discount to be applied.  This is not an affiliate code.

Pastel Collection | Cuccio Colour Veneer

I've got a new video up on my YouTube channel showing you the gorgeous Pastel Collection from Cuccio.

The bottles are 13ml and matte black with a little heart cutout on the front so you can see exactly what colour is inside.  Cuccio is a professional only brand, so if you are after something for DIY nails, then check out some of my other non-professional brand videos.

The pastel collection consists of six creme shades and they are just beautiful.  The consistency of the product is quite thin and you get a good opacity with two coats.

Cuccio Colour Veneer is a lovely product to use and after this swatch video, stay tuned for some nail art tutorials using each shade.

All product information is listed in the description bar below the video.

***NEW*** Madam Glam Gel Polish Colours

There's a new video up on my YouTube channel featuring 15 of the new colours from Madam Glam and OH MY GOODNESS some of these colours are stunning.

Every colour I bought is lovely and I've mentioned at the end of the video my three favourites.  Madam Glam colours are highly pigmented, with many of the colours only needing one coat.

They are a non-professional brand so anyone has access to these beautiful gel polishes.  Another great thing about Madam Glam gel polishes is that they are 5 free and cruelty free.

There is also a good range of regular nail polishes, chameleon gels and lamps to choose from, should you want to purchase from them.

Shipping is very reasonable, and as I mentioned in the video, you can either use my 30% off discount code kate30 at checkout, or look out for other great offers from Madam Glam by signing up to receive their news letters.

All the colours I've swatched, are listed in the description bar below the video.

***NEW*** Pro Plate Swatches | MoYou London

I've got a new video up on my YouTube channel featuring the gorgeous new Pro Plates from MoYou London.  I adore these - particularly plate 25 - and highly recommend adding these to your collection.

I've been a little bit obsessed with matte top coat lately so I finished the nails with the matte top coat from Bundle Monster.  I also used a couple of colours from the Cali Dreamin' gel polish collection, again from Bundle Monster.

The colours in this collection are bright and cheerful, show the stamping off beautifully and look simply stunning finished with the matte top coat.

As usual I stamped with my trusty XL Gold Stamper from Fab Ur Nails, using the black stamping polish from Nail Stamping Queen.

I think the swatches turned out great and I just love this combination of colours, images and top coat (in case you hadn't guessed already)!

All the products used are listed in the description bar below the video.

Furry Best Friends Swatches | Uber Chic Beauty

The plate is choc full of all things cat and dog and super cute.  It's well etched and the designs are unique and fun.  They stamp beautifully with a range of polishes and stampers.

I've used black stamping polish from Nail Stamping Queen and the stamper I used is the new XL Clear Stamper Head from Über Chic Beauty fitted into a holder I already own.

Such a lovely plate to use and, as usual, of the highest quality.

I've just uploaded a new video to my YouTube featuring some gorgeous new stamping plates (set 8) from Uber Chic Beauty.

As usual the plates are well etched and choc full of gorgeous images.  I've also given the new XL clear stamper head a whirl and it's brilliant.  If you're after a good XL stamper then I suggest checking this out.  I fitted the head into my Creative-style stamper holder and it's a perfect fit.

Love & Marriage 02 Stamping Plate | Uber Chic Beauty

I've got a new review video up on my YouTube channel of the Love & Marriage 02 plate from Uber Chic Beauty.  This is a gorgeous plate if you are getting married.

As usual, Uber Chic Beauty have come up with some gorgeous, unique images that are well etched and stamp perfectly.

I've stamped over a base of gel polish from the 'I Do' collection by Bundle Monster.  This collection is specifically designed with weddings in mind.  I've used No Place Like Chrome and Penny Talk, both regular polishes from Essie, to stamp with.  As you will be able to see in the video, these stamp like a dream.

I've used my favourite stamper from Fab Ur Nails to do the stamping.  It picks up pretty much any polish and is consistently brilliant for stamping.

I've listed all the products I used in the description bar below the video.

MoYou London Glitter Swatches

I've got a new video up on my YouTube channel featuring some beautiful glitters from MoYou London.

I have seventeen out of a range of 22 glitters and they are lovely.  They pots are heavy glass with a screw off lid and a cap inside the lid for extra protection.  Each pot contains 5mls of fine grade glitter, with a few in larger hexagonal glitters and mylar pieces.

I found application over the tacky layer of gel polish extremely easy and the colour range is great.

Each glitter retails for £2.50 which I believe is a great price.

I've listed the products in the description bar below the video and I will endeavour to get my hands on the other five colours ASAP.

Smith & Cult Polish Review & Swatches

I've been road testing the Smith & Cult nail polishes for quite a few months now and I can say they are just fantastic.

The bottles are gorgeous and the colour range is chic and sophisticated.

These polishes are also 'five free', so they don't contain any Dibutyl, Phthalate, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin or Camphor.  So these polishes are great for your nails.

I've got eight colours from the range, along with the base and top coat, and I can honestly say that these polishes rival any professional brand that I currently use.  The colours are pigmented, apply beautifully and don't chip.

I've done a swatch video on my YouTube channel to show off these beautiful colours, and I've also shown how to do a super simple but very effective feature nail using the glitter polishes in the range.

I've linked the phone number of Rogue Beauty in the description bar below the video, so if you are interested in purchasing some of the Smith & Cult polishes in Australia, you can find a stockist near you.  You will love them :-)

Bundle Monster UV Light Sensitive Gel Polish Review Rise Up

Bundle Monster UV Light Sensitive Gel Polish Review - Rise Up Collection

Hi everyone,

I've got another quick review for you today.

I got sent the Rise Up collection of UV light sensitive gel polish from Bundle Monster.

They are a really lovely 'at home' gel polish that react with either artificial UV light or natural UV light and they are really lovely to apply.

I've also added a bit of stamping using the XL plates from Bunde Monster.  I've started a playlist for all the BM videos I do from now on and I've listed it in the description bar below the video, along with the products I used.

If you would like to see a video of the Bundle Monster stamping plate collection I have, please let me know in the comments section of this video.
