Whats Up Nails Holiday/Winter Stamping Plates

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Along with my last Whats Up Nails package, they were kind enough to send me a few of the Winter/Holiday stamping plates for me to test out...and a few more products that I've combined with my stamping manis.  Whats Up Nails never ceases to amaze me with the quality of the products they provide to us nail addicts.  The stamping plates' etching has always been amongst the best (and considering I have over 1000 stamping plates, that's saying something).  But they are certainly more than stamping as you'll see if you keep reading past the jump...

Mermaid Brushes

$11.75 USD/each or $42 USD/set

The first thing I want to mention are these incredible mermaid brushes.  Seriously, how pretty are they?  As soon as I got them I texted a picture to one of my best friends (who also happens to like nail polish) asking if I was a giant child for loving them so much.  Luckily she agreed with me that it's okay for 40 year olds to like pretty mermaid things.  They come in four flavours, a curved and an angled clean up brush, a detail brush and a striper.  I tested them all out here and they are wonderful.

Now onto the stamping plates.  They sent me 3 winter/holiday-themed plates.  I believe one is older and two are brand new this year.  As always, the etching was great and the images were fun.  There's definitely a few more I'd like to use before Christmas this year.

Shattered Holo Silver Glitter

1 gram

$7.75 USD

This is a loose glitter but not in a uniform shape, hence it's named "shattered" glitter.  I applied is here over a clear coat of polish by just tapping it on with my fingers.  I did use a cuticle protector for easier clean up.  It laid down nice and flat so just one coat of top coat was all it took to smooth it out so I could use it as a base for the next mani.
