Favorite Nail Stamping Plates 2016

My number one favorite nail art technique is nail stamping.  You saw my favorite nail stamping polishes yesterday, and today I will be sharing with you my favorite plates that have been released this year.  I nearly think that deciding which plates were my favorite was harder than picking my nail polish favorites and that was hard! But I think I have managed to do it.  These plates were all released this year (or at least I think they were), are ones that I own and have used and the majority of the plate has images that I love.  There are a few plates that I haven't included because there was only a couple of images that I love.  Now this is going to be quite a lengthy post but I will try and keep my chit chat to a minimum.  I will include links to all the relevant blog posts if you are wanting to see how I used the plates.  Like with all of my other favorites posts these aren't in any particular order.  

Bundle Monster
Bundle Monster are the first brand of stamping plates that I ever purchased and I have pretty much been collecting all of their plates ever since.  They have a great mix of images and are a good quality.

Paisley Flow Collection.  Yes I am aware that I am meant to pick on plate or just a few but I honestly couldn't so it was just easier to put the whole collection (you can see the images in more detail here).  I love this collection.  Initially I wasn't a fan of buffet style plates but they are actually really easy to use.  You can really just grab from anywhere off the plate without having to worry about lining things up etc.

BM-XL218 This plate is from the Blogger Collaborations Set Four.  Now I haven't actually done a blog post of this set yet (oops) so will definitely need to add that to my list of posts for next year.

Lina Nail Art Supplies
Lina Nail Art Supplies is the newest brand to enter my nail stamping collection.  I have completely fallen in love with their plates (and at the time of writing this I am currently waiting for my order to arrive which has the bulk of their plates that I am missing.  So prepare yourself for lots of Lina posts next year).  Their plates are great quality and seem to have more full sized images which are my favorite sort of images to use.

Powder Perfect
Powder Perfect have not only released a bunch of gorgeous polishes this year, they have also added stamping polishes (which you would have seen in my post yesterday) and stamping plates!  The plates they have released so far are a great quality and have unique images.  There was one plate in particular that I fell in love with.

Art Deco 01.  You can see my swatches and review of this plate here.

Pueen Cosmetics
Pueen is another brand favorite of mine and has been for years.  This year they have released three rectangular plates that made my heart sing and surprisingly they are all from the Theme Park Collection.  You can check out that post here.

Uberchic Beauty
I'm sure that it comes at no surprise to you that I have a bunch of Uberchic plates in my line up of favorites.  I'm pretty sure they have released more plates than any other brand this year.  I could be wrong but I definitely know that my Uberchic collection has grown a lot this year!

Collection Twelve.  This is one of the collections that I couldn't decide which plate I liked best, so I just picked the full collection.  You can see the images on each plate in this post as well as how I used them.

Op Art Magic.  This is one of those plates where you can just do the most simple mani and it will just look awesome.  The designs are so cool.  You can see some of the manis I did with this plates here.

Seriously picking my favorite plates was so hard!  What are some of your favorite stamping plates?  I'd love to know and check them out if I don't have them.  I mean I could always do with some more stamping plates.
