Mash 43 Image Plate

I always love full nail floral patterns, maybe because they're so easy to use haha :)
Circle bubbles sooo cute, I wish I had pastels that are opaque enough for this.
The stripes reminds me of bar codes, it might work ;)
Oooh reptile pattern again, maybe I could do pastels with this too. Sorry I'm still into pastels til now.
Hibiscus are always pretty, maybe next summer.

Mash 42 Image Plate

Love the flowers, here's a mani I did with it:

The triangles, I'm thinking of using it with a yellow base and black stamping then vice versa but I don't have a yellow that would be opaque enough for it to show up :/
Retro squares looks nice ^_^
I really like that the horse look like it's running, maybe a sunset background or maybe a field of grass would suit it.

Mash 41 Image Plate

What's not to like in this plate?!
Tiger print, love it!!!
I'm just so bad with color combos that I might screw that up.
One of the best dragon fly design I've seen on a plate.
It's great that the images on this plate are unique, nobody likes repetitions of images right?

Mash 40 Image Plate

Swirls and lines ^_^
Very fine diagonal lines, will try to use it some time.
Swirls will look good with a gradient base.
Vintage like floral design is very pretty
Leopard print, it's okay I think I should try this print soon. I never do leopard prints.
Rainbow clouds, looks like the clouds are too small for the rainbow don't you think?

Mash 39 Image Plate

I think I have two or three other plates that has the scales design but this one from MASH is probably the best one. I like that the lines are slimmer and if you'll look at the size of the scales in the middle they're a tad smaller which makes it uneven and kinda looks more natural IMO.
The rose hearts are pretty, I can see it in pastels.
Very nice plaid design, might be good for double stamping.
The fan like leaves are nice too and the unicorn (it's a unicorn, right?) looks majestic!

Mash 38 Image Plate

From here on we'll have the full nail design image plates from MASH.
The one that looks like random streaks looks to me like a fog or sunset sky design, like that one ^_^
Checkered design is quite common... hhmmmm come to think if it I don't think I've used any of my checkered designs on my nails. Tsk.
The full nail hearts is cute kinda reminds of RA114.
Heart monitor line so cool!
 Oh and the spider, it'll be great for Halloween ^_^

Mash 37 Image Plate

Ooohhhh I ♥ this plate ^_^
Kawaii owl and octopus, yay!
The clouds looks so pretty, very different from the Konad design.
This is the first horse shoe design on my stash, glad to have it.
The tree branch or maybe a new growth tree is pretty sweet looking.
Peace sign have that already and I guess the triangles (I don't what's it called) is nice to have as well.

Mash 36 Image Plate

It's pretty easy to spot which one is my favorite in this plate...
STAR
The Eye of Horus is very sleek, I do have a couple of plates that has this design but this one looks the best I think.
Cute bee ^_^
I've seen a lot of paw print designs, nothing special with this one.
The florals are okay but they could've done better like maybe a rose with falling petals.

Mash 35 Image Plate

I love the Fleur de lis ^_^
The lotus looks pretty too but the other designs are just okay to me.
I see a lot of dolphins on image plates, I guess it's a favorite for those who likes to make beach themed manis. The scorpion, it's nice and different you'll never know when this might come in handy hahaha!

Mash 33 Image Plate

Okay it took me a while to continue my reviews on the MASH plates, I've been busy lately and I had to do a bit of research on the images of this plate.
These are zodiac signs, I'm not very familiar with them and I don't like to put designs (characters or symbols) on my nails that I don't know the meaning of.

So in this plate we have:
Aries
Pisces
Aquarius
Cancer
Gemini
Taurus

Let's not forget the uber cute shooting star ^_^

Mash 32 Image Plate

Nice random plate from MASH :)
The compass like north star would be nice for making map themed nails
love the quarter moon
cute small beehive print
oooohhh a key
ladybug - nice detail
Dollar sign (we don't need your money, money, money... Jessie J in the house!) LOL
Leaves are nice kinda reminds of those one stroke flowers or leaves which I don't know how to do.

Mash 31 Image Plate

I love these smileys!!
They look like the emoji icons on my phone ^_^
The one with an x for the eyes reminds me a lot of the Nirvana logo but that one has a tongue sticking out. I think this ones I can use on my nails without looking too cute.

Mash 30 Image Plate

Lucky cat, hahaha!
Such a cute plate this one, I've used the cactus and it looked so sweet  ^_^
Really looking forward to use the other designs.

 Right now I'm doing some experimenting with glue as a base for glitter polishes, if it works out I'll never be afraid to use glitters or flakies ever again. Just think of all the stamping designs with glitter as base! Really hoping for the best :)

Mash 29 Image Plate

This is the only plate in this set that has a skull image design, I guess at least they included one but it kinda looks generic.
Love the stars and the feather/leaf design. The swirly pattern looks nice too but I'm not sure how to use it. The tribal design looks cool but I never know how to use those designs as well :/
I guess I will have to Google pics before I try them out.

Mash 28 Image Plate

Sorry for the crappy swatch :(

Awesome looking monster teeth design, it's going to be awesome for Halloween or it could be used for banderitas design or teepee houses ^_^

The flower looks so sweet, hearts are cute, the ribbon is just okay for me and the butterfly is pretty, nice details on the lower part of the wings.

Mash 27 Image Plate

I love everything on this plate!

Another leaves french tip that I wish was a full nail design instead. The stars, great for a themed mani *ideas flowing through my head...*

Puppy dog looks cute, diamond is always a win... will have to use this plate, real soon. *looks over to other plates that hasn't been used...sigh*

Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥

Mash 26 Image Plate

First image plate from the second set of MASH. Most are french tip designs with one floral design in the middle. I noticed that the french tip star is more oval shaped than the others which I think is kinda cool. ^_^

The maple leaves design is going to be great this fall, I would have preferred it be a full nail design though *sigh*

The scales.... hmmm it's a bit weird for me because usually the design goes horizontal... Oh well...

MASH 26-50 Stamping Image Plates

  

Brief review for the MASH 26-50 image plates ^_^

 These set of plates can be purchased at www.mashnails.com

When I bought them they were priced at $12.99, which was their introductory price. Now the current price is $15.99, which I think is still a very good price because the quality of this set is awesome! Also when I bought them shipping was free so it was a very good deal. This I believe is probably the cheapest set of plates that I bought and probably has the best quality as well. Very comparable to my Konad plates ^_^

This set consists of 25 image plates and each plate has it's own plastic bag. Though it is nice that all the plates are somewhat protected by placing them in their own individual small plastic bags it isn't really quite practical because personally I wouldn't want to use the bags to house my plates. First it isn't going to be sturdy enough in the long run and second it would consume space on my small image plate box ^_^

All the plates have paper backing with the MASH logo and website. I like the design, very posh looking :)

I want to say right now that some of my swatches for this set is quite crappy, I was already tired from swatching the Red Angel plates when I swatched these. :(

All of the plates in this set works so I will only be reviewing the individual plates for the designs.

 I wish that all future plate sets will have the same if not better quality like this set of MASH plates. When I stacked them not one plate was bent or even slightly curved, they are so well done. I just love this set! ^_^

 

Here's the stack of the blue covering of the Red Angel and MASH plates, this will happen to me again on November when my two Cheeky and 2012 Bundle Monster sets arrives!

They are going to be late birthday gifts for myself, I'll probably stop buying plates for a while now because I'm running out of moolah and I so have many plates and designs that I haven't actually used on my nails. It seems unfair to them for me to buy them and not use them at all :/

Oh well....

I will be posting my reviews for the MASH 26-50 plates really soon, so keep a look out for that. Thanks for hanging out here! ^_^

Rain, music, nail polish and stamping image plates....

 

Sorry I haven't updated my blog for a week. I have been busy because my sister and I watched Snow Patrol Fallen Empires Tour here in Manila last Thursday. We joined a Meet and Greet contest and we both won! So we had to prepare a bit, went to a thrift store and bought some shoes and top. We didn't have enough moolah to buy clothes from the mall and we didn't want to venture out too far because last week heavy rains flooded certain parts in Manila and other close provinces as well. It wasn't too bad from where we live but some parts in our village got flooded as well and some are almost waist high. Funny thing was it wasn't even a proper storm, just heavy rains and strong wind. The Smashing Pumpkins concert was even cancelled for a day because of it (they had their concert the day before Snow Patrol, same venue). Our internet connection was affected as well, it was intermittent and slow. What a week, we basically got stuck in the house for days but I was able to go out and drop by the mall a day before the concert because I had to buy some school stuff for my nephew and people in our house wanted donuts, I was able to drop by at Etude House and got me a couple of nail polish. ^_^

 

During the concert I got a text that my MASH and Red Angel plates arrived in Manila I wasn't able to read it because I was too busy screaming my lungs out and singing along with the songs and my phone battery died as well. ^_^

 The next morning I received another text so I had to go out and transfer my full payment. I thought I was going to have a problem money-wise because the money I have left wasn't enough, I used up most of my money going to the concert and of course we have to eat, right? But my awesome boyfriend is there to the rescue and gave me enough money so I can send the full payment. ^_^

 

So these are my MASH plates and Red Angel plates, it's awesome that both sets have a paper backing, I'm just hoping that all the image plates work. I'll try to swatch these after I've taken individual pics but I will have to wait for my boyfriend's camera.

 

 

Collective nail polish haul last week. From left to right: Epsa nail polish in 111 (black with holo glitters), Etude House clear polish (using it as a top coat), Guppy polish bright watermelon pink (no sticker on the bottom so I don't know the number), Etude House in PP903 and Epsa nail polish in 92 (peach pink).

Rain or shine, must have polish! ^_^

Thanks for hanging out here, will try to review and swatch the plates soon!
