So, I'm gonna change things up a bit and start doing some plate reviews because I have like almost a hundred and I need to start using them....also, these just came out (29th March). MoYou had been teasing on their insta that they would have some new plates coming out soon to replace Flower Power 23, which has been out of stock for ages. I don't think they're going to remake it. In fact nearly all of their Flower Power plates are sold out.
So in this new Botanical range there are four plates:
With their new £6.99 price tag. Personally, I think they should've kept them at £5.99 as the size of the plates hasn't increased. Also, their shipping is ridiculous at a standard £3.99 for any order (that doesn't contain nail polish, then you have to £5.80...). So one plate comes to a total of £10.98. That's extortionate; and I'm part of the problem because I paid it. I bought 3 & 4 on the launch day because I've noticed new collections are selling out very fast and MoYou said they are not restocking plates anymore. I didn't buy them on a whim, I really had to think about it and look to see if I could get similar elsewhere and I think B4 is quite unique though and worth buying.
I didn't get plates 1 & 2 because there are so many plates just like them. The Mother Nature, Kitty and Doodles collections are virtually the same as Botanical 1 and I have 3 Harunouta Plates (that sell for around £1.50) exactly like Botanical 2. I love overprint plates so B3 I had to purchase as it has some lovely and unique succulent prints on it with all the lovely shading and the insect prints on B4 had me hooked straight away. I have some curtains that I bought from Ikea years ago with these exact designs and every time I look at it I want to do my nails like that; and now I can! I can already see the design in black on top of an A-England polish.
I really loved this design that MoYou did to promote the plate and I decided to do something similar;
The designs are all from Botanical 3. I'm yet to do a design using B4 (but it's coming, that plate has become one of my favourites). The Zig Zag stripes are from one of their Tropical Plates...I have far too many of them.
