Uberchic Beauty Collection Sixteen Stamping Plates - Swatches & Review

PRESS SAMPLE

Did I mention the other day that Uberchic have recently released a bunch of new plates?  I can't remember, but they have!  So many plates, so little time to play!  I know I say that a lot but I would happily play with polish and plates all day, every day.  Anyway, today I have Collection Sixteen to share with you and next week I will have Collection Seventeen and the new Texture-licious Mini Plate.

There are some really great images on this plate.  I really want to do a black and white accent nail with the image in the third row on the left hand side.  I'm sure I will at some point.  I think the images on this plate call for some really simple background because they can speak for themselves.

This first mani I actually did for a challenge a couple of weeks ago (or was it last week?  The days are going by so quickly at the moment.  I really can't keep up).  For my base I used China Glaze Minimalist Momma and stamped using Powder Perfect's White Stamping Polish.  I really love this mani and would happily wear this again.

I was really keeping my manis simple with this plate.  I love a simple black and white mani!  For my base I used China Glaze Blanc Out and stamped using Powder Perfect's Black Stamping Polish.

I'm a big fan of this plate.  There are so many great images that I am excited to use.

I couldn't go pass the buffet style image on the bottom right hand side of this plate.  I think it would make an awesome black and white accent nail, but I resisted doing that and went for a purple gradient instead.  For my gradient I used Orly's Scenic Route, For The First Time and Be Daring, and stamped using Powder Perfect's White Stamping Polish.

For this next mani I used Grace-full Nail Polish Sparkle Siren and stamped using Powder Perfect's Black Stamping Polish.

Huge fan of the images on this plate too.  I actually had trouble deciding which images to use for this post.

While I was swatching Grace-full Nail Polish Pastel Prima Donna I knew that I had to do some form of really cool stamping.  I am sooooo happy with how this turned out.  It's one of those manis I could happily wear again.

And for my final mani I had my eye on this image and thought it would look cool with some bright colours popping through the black.  For my base I randomly put blobs of Essie's Silk Watercolors (Muse Yourself, Art New-Beau, Love Sheen, No Shrinking Violet, Point Of Blue and Pen & Inky) and then smooshed it with a stamper.  I haven't done a mani this way before but I really like it.  If I was smart I should have taken a picture before I stamped out it.

Overall I really like Collection Sixteen.  I know I have mentioned it a few times now but there really are some fantastic images across these plates.  As usual, they pick up and transfer easily without any fuss.
