Hehe stamping, plaids and florals review

Recently I had the opportunity to review some stamping plates for Aiyoohehe and I graciously accepted!
I was sent a small selection from their new Plaids and florals collection.


For this first mani I used hehe 082, I absolutely love the way this turned out.

Stamping polishes used were my bright purple, lime and orange. The base colour is being released in February.


This next one used plate Hehe 076. I double stamped my middle fingers but it wasn't very obvious.

Stamping polishes used were my rose gold and metallic purple. The base colour is LE26.


Next up I used Hehe 080 and Hehe 075

Stamping polishes used were my tiffany blue and lime. The base colour is LE24.
I also used my new favourite stamper, which is a clear stamper that I will have in stock shortly.
Its the only reason my lines are anywhere near straight ;)

And the last mani uses plate Fairytale 005. This one wasn't included in my review package because I had just recently purchased it and used it, but I figured I may as well include it.

Stamping polishes used were my tiffany blue, powder blue and medium blue. The base colour is LE30.


So thats it for the pictures, now onto the details. 
Each and every one of these plates was a joy to work with. I had absolutely no issues at all with any of them. Any missing parts, smudges etc are user error, not the fault of the plate.
All of these plates can be bought direct from Hehe and their pricing is exceptional. And of course, they ship worldwide!

Until next time...

Femme Fatale Cosmetics, Morning Glory and Mo You

After I finished photographing Morning Glory for Femme Fatale, I decided to add my flakie topper "Fancy Sauce".
Then I figured I may as well try out my new Mo You stamping plates that I got for Christmas.

This is Origami plate 05, I stamped in black and then I used some of my neon sheer tints to colour them in.

Pretty Serious Absence and nail foil

So after my foils turned out so amazing for my Christmas mani, I thought I would try again.
I really wanted to do a stamped foil mani like I've seen on a few bloggers lately but unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work :(

So I opted for a super simple dry brush mani with foil instead and I actually love how this turned out.
It was so easy to do and looked so effective! Once again, I used Picture Polish Revolution for the topcoat to avoid dulling the foils.

Baroness X Eerie-descence

So after I felt like a change from wearing Entwined by Enchanted Polish, I decided to just add a topper to it. I chose to wear Eerie-descence by Baroness X.

This topper is amazing! I cannot wait to try it over another colour, although I think this made a really amazing combo. This was one dabbed coat with a topcoat.

I Want To Believe collaboration collection with Chaos and Crocodiles

This is a pic heavy post, so I'll keep the text nice and short ;)
When Sarey and I decided to do a collaboration, picking the theme was pretty easy, we are both avid X-Files fans and with its re-release coming out very soon, now is a great time to release a collection inspired by it.

So lets get to the polish and then the release details at the end.

This is "Human Oddity"
Its a blue holo with silver ultra holographic glitter and blue to purple shimmer.
Shown is two coats with a topcoat ( Seche Vite ) Please note, this is the ultra thin glitter which is easy to remove and does not need topcoat to be smooth.

( This works out to be 12pm AEDT January 3rd for my Aussie friends ) Please note that this is a preorder, once final numbers come in, I will still need to make/pour/label etc and then ship the polishes over to Sarey, from Australia, before shipping commences. Please bear this in mind before ordering.

Other details - This is a limited edition release so they will not be available after this weekend's preorder. You will have the option to purchase the full collection or individual bottles. There will be customer limits so please read the listings carefully when purchasing. 
If you'd like to place a group buy, please email one of us for instructions. You can contact Sarey at ( chaos and crocodiles at gmail dot com ) or myself at the email below.
