One stall in particular stood out as being a gorgeously contemporary twist on the time-honoured tradition of beautifully varnished nails. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I always think perfectly presented nails are one of those things that literally adds polish to any Modern Country get-up, don't you? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">One of the ladies on the MoYou Nails stand persuaded me to have my nails done. Not that I needed much persuading! A manicure for free? Yes please!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was expecting another humdrum product but Oh. My Goodness. I've never seen anything like it.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> I've had so many questions about how I managed to get these gorgeous images onto my nails that I thought a review was needed!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">MoYou Nails sell stamping plates and nail varnishes online and in stores (Debenhams, Fenwick and Bentalls) to enable you to print images onto your nails...or sunglasses, mirrors, mobile phones, windows.... There are over 1500 designs to choose from. That was not necessarily a plus! I spent <i>aaaaages </i>narrowing down the designs I wanted!! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><u>First Impressions</u></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The varnishes are gorgeous - beautifully vibrant, opaque colours, and apply well. The opacity means that they are on the thick side, which makes them ideal for stamping but a little harder to work with for base coats. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img height="427" src="http://moyounails.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/pink-stamp-scraper-red-head.jpg" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The stamp and scraper come together. The stamper is easy to use -  squishy and a good size and the scraper does it's job well...though I'd prefer it a little bigger and squishier and it took a while of playing around to get the images to pick up properly. However, its the stamping plates that really stand out.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYgB3FKUhLDYIVgE6Bwyei-63IYkzxYcx7qQz3Bxcm1LX3uPIPSKXa-Dxiz5C_jkY_oRgANVG-FCv-6mznrTopKEhjQ42jtSjL_NFuBK6_oMREOTcLy8DzYAnuNl4ohpTHrKtnXCL1L_0P/s1600/moyou+031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYgB3FKUhLDYIVgE6Bwyei-63IYkzxYcx7qQz3Bxcm1LX3uPIPSKXa-Dxiz5C_jkY_oRgANVG-FCv-6mznrTopKEhjQ42jtSjL_NFuBK6_oMREOTcLy8DzYAnuNl4ohpTHrKtnXCL1L_0P/s1600/moyou+031.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">They come in little individual packets (see left hand of the image above). You need to remove the packaging (middle), and then peel of the blue covering (right) to reveal the mirrored surface with exquisitely etched images. The plates seem very good quality: pleasingly heavy, and the images are very clear.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><u>Using The Products</u></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">First, I applied this MoYou Special Nail Polish in Nude.
