Where on
earth do you start a review of a brand of stamping plates that probably is known to everyone with
an interest in stamping?
A brand from
which I have 50+ and counting plates from?
I’ll
give it a go anyhow in case you do not know MoYou London and/or do not yet own
any plates from them.
You can
buy them directly from MoYou London (worldwide free
shipping over £20) – but they are found an soooo many online shops all over the
world, so they are easy to find.
The
plates are 6 x 12 cm with vinyl backing, the newer collections with beautiful
(and acetone resistant) prints on the back.
They
come in cardboard sleeves - see the first photo - with the collection name (different to all other collections
also in print) and they have a blue protective film, that has to be removed
before use.
The
patterns vary in size from very big (where you use part of the pattern) to 1.2
x 1.5 cm for the small patterns to 1.5 x 2 cm for the XL size.
The
etching is really lovely, neither too deep nor shallow – just right, also easy
to use for beginners.
Even if many of you told me that you love photos of
plates, I’m not showing a single one because they are shown brilliantly with
looking glass and sorted by collection on MoYou London’s own website!
So I’ll
instead show you some of them manis I created with their plates – even some
from the very beginning (the "Take XX" number tell how early).

Pros:
The
etching is perfect, also for the beginner.
There
are extremely many patterns to choose from.
I love that
they have theme based collections and the frequency of new collections and
additions to already existing collections.
It’s
brilliant that they have the same patterns in plates for shorter nails and in
XL plates for longer nails.
They
frequently/monthly release either a new collection or more plates to existing
collections.
They are
easy to get hold of either from MoYou London or from one of very many online
shops all over the world.
They
show their plates without any distorting watermarks and with an easy to use
looking glass to enlarge the patterns – just like most of the other shops that
sell them.
Their
website is appealing and it’s easy to find whatever you are looking for.
I have
not (yet at least) come across a pattern that was difficult to pick up/use, the
overall quality is really good and consistent!
In
short: From my point of view, they do everything right!
Cons:
None
what so ever - period.
*Shut up
bank account*
Final conclusion:
I love
them – simple as that!
I hope
you enjoyed this NON SPONSORED review.
