Top Coat Stamping

I've been wanting to try something like this mani for a very long time but it never worked for me before with any other top coats or clear polish before. The top coats usually dry too fast or just don't have the right consistency, and clear polish is just too thin. I Then remembered that I totally forgot to  post my review of MoYou Top Coat from OMG Nails, so I decided to try this with it. and guess what? It worked like charm!!! (my cats apologies for leaving their hair in my mani)

So I started this mani with Zoya Posh, a beautiful red matte velvet polish from Zoya's Matte Velvet collection, Fall 2009. This is one huge MUST in any collection. It doesn't matter if you're not a red lover or a matte lover, this polish is just the thing when you need that extra sophistication to your look. It looks like expensive velvet fabric on your nails, in a deep Victorian red.

It only required one coat for full opacity, and while I have my issues in painting around my cuticles in uniform lines, this polish - unlike most matte polishes, did not challenge me with anything else. Barely no brush strokes, smooth and level formula and super fast drying time. Definitely a keeper!

Then I took out the MoYou Top Coat and  my DRK-A plate and decided to do a little test. I used MoYou Top Coat simply as a stamping polish, and it worked PERFECTLY! The entire design was picked up from the plate and transferred to the nail with no issues at all! I did try to different stampers, one with a white stamping area (the XL Large stamper) and one with a pink stamping area (Konad double sided stamper) and while the result were great with both, I found that the pink stamping head let me see the top coat design on it before transferring it to my nail, which was somewhat easier for self-insecure me.

I will post some more experiments I did with the MoYou top coat with time, and I think I really need to get me some more of it! I also want to try some more... round pattern. The square one i think looses a little bit of the classy way this mani turns out.

Zoya Posh is long discontinued and you can only find it in blog sales or ebay.
