I know I don't often mention my job, but today's theme in the Hobby Polish Bloggers group is, "your job". I suppose that would require me to talk about it, a little.
As some of you might have guessed my job has to do about tech and computers. As I am not allowed to fully disclose all that I do, I can tell you this much.
For this manicure I used China Glaze - Jungle Queen, W7 - Silver Suede, and Sinful Color - Snow Me White. I used Moyou London Scifi Collection - 06 and Cheeky - CH54

I really love the end result, and my workmates though this was a well representation of what I work with. So there you have it, My Job.
How to have fun with the IT Department: Excuse me, Sir. I seem to have run out of ink on my keyboard.
I am not going all political on you here today, but this statement is true. There has been a lot of talk about Net Neutrality in the medias lately, and I wanted to make a manicure that would be fitting for the topic.
I wore this manicure for the Bristol Comic Con this weekend, and I was dressed as R2D2. It was a lot of fun.

I decided to use Maybelline - Street Artist - Alley Attitude for this manicure, there as been a lot of searching on my page for this polish, so I decided it was about time I use it for something, and not just have a swatch on my page.
I also used MoYou-London Sci-Fi collection plate 06, and Sally Hansen - Diamonds and Rubies. I think you can all guess one of the images I choose from this plate.

I love computers, and all tech related stuff, and that's why I bought the Sci-Fi Collection plate from Moyou-London, i my little haul. I decided to only get the 06 plate, the rest of the Sci-Fi Collection what a bit to childish for my taste.
Sorry for not being very active on the blog lately, I am going though a hectic week with hospital appointments and interview + tests for a job. I have my fingers crossed for this particular job that means I will be moving to Spain for 3 months. I am so excited to hear back from them later this week. Next week is my birthday, so it could not have come on a more appropriate time.
Last week I posted my review on the Moyou-London Sci-Fi Collection plate 06, and posted it on my YT-channel, as well as here on the blog. You can find that post here.
This is the manicure I created using the Moyou-London Sci-Fi Collection plate 06. I did two different designs for this, and used two images from the plate.

I just love this polish. I don't own a lot of Kiko polishes, but the Holographic ones are SO amazing. I used two coats of this manicure. It's freaking amazing. I used Wet & Wild - Black Creme for stamping.

This way you get to see the amazing holographic polish shine through, I wore this for a bit and felt the need to stamp on the ringfinger as well, and this is how that ended up looking.

Any thoughts out there? Let me know in the comment section below. Have a great day everyone.
Sci-fi Collection Plate 06 compared to a standard Konad.
Today I am showing you all the Moyou-London Sci-Fi Collection Plate 06. I wasn't overly keen on the rest of the plates in this collection but I knew I HAD to have this one. I love motherboard designs, and this plate is perfect for that. Below you can see the video I posted on YT a couple of hours ago, and at the end of it, you can see a preview of the manicure I did using two images from this plate. I will be back with a separate post for it.
Hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to subscribe to my YT-Channel for upcoming videos.
Have a great day.
I am so excited over this haul. I wanted to get a couple more plates, but the ones I had my eyes on were sold out, so I only bought a modestly number of four plates. I am planning on doing another haul from Moyou-London soon. Their plates are amazing, so pretty and innovative.
I bought two of their Scholar Collection Plates, one Fairytale Collection Plate and one from their Sci-Fi Collection. I also added their stamper and scraper, on recommendation from Mishka over at Lacquer or Leave Her. She is such an enabler, she is awesome.
There you have it, everything I bought. I will be doing a little video on those plates, and you can find them at my YT-channel. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss it.
First up I want to show you the plastic scraper and stamper, below you can see it compared to my Konad set.

The large stamper is the same size as my old Konad one, the with of the scraper is the same, but the Konad scraper has a larger area to place your fingers. Being used to the Konad scraper, I find the Moyou-London one a little bit small, but it's just something to get used to. The stampers from Moyou-London is super shiny, and feels a bit oily to the touch.
On to the plates.
I love the design of these boxes/sleeves, they are so pretty. Such a genius idea that each of these plate collections has their own girl featured on the front, and that they all have special names. Like the Sci-fi girl is called Lilu. Cute.
Do these plates fit in the Bundlemonster plate storage?
If the Moyou-London plates did not have the white backing, they would slip into the sleeves in the Bundlemonster plate storage, as you can see on this picture. So as for how to store them, I would suggest using the boxes/sleeves they come in, or a baseball card holder, or the binders made for these sized plates
How large are the designs/plate?
Here you see a standard Konad plate over the Moyou-London plate. It's 2 mm wider than the Konad one. On the plates that has full nail images like the Sci-fi Collection, the images are the same size as the Konad ones.
But which plates did you get?
Kidding, I got stills for you.
Often when I see people buying plates, I often wonder, what made you buy this specific plate (on in the case where someone buys ALL THE PLATES). So, I will stop after each plate and let you know what i think.
Scholar Collection Plate 01. I have been wanting a plate like this for a while. I'm quite nerdy and just love this mathematical plate. You got equations, pie, Pythagoras, did I mention pie?
This plate really was a no-brainer, I had to have it. Fairytale Collection plate 08. The prince and the princess. As a HUGE Disney fan, this plate was shouting at me. I love the roses, the swirlies, the different royal embroiderer designs. So pretty.
Scholar Collection 02. I wanted to buy the entire Scholar Collection. I love books, and this plate really has it all. Quotes from Romeo and Juliet, ink spatters, a little Alice in Wonderland, and a feather pen. Writer to be or not, this is such a pretty plate. Those ink splats can also be used as blood splats, you know. Endless opportunities. As supplements the Fairytale Collection plate very well.
Last but not least. The Sci-Fi Collection 06. This was the only plate in the Sci-fi collection i really felt the need to have. The rest of the collection is very childish, and not really my style. I feel that my Cheeky Summer Collection plates covered that area well enough for me. This plate has everything a computer geek needs to do her nails appropriate to her hobbies. You have motherboard designs and all sort of things. Awesome! This is a 1337 - plate.
