No, it’s
not MoYou London – it is MoYou Nails – both are from the UK and both are
located in London, so a bit confusing, right :D
MoYou Nails
ships Internationally, and if you only buy plates a part of the shipping will
be refunded. They also have distributors in some other countries, the countries
are named, but not with any links to the shops.
The
plates are individually packed and come with blue protective film and the
square plates have a plastic backing, the round have a film on the back side –
no sharp edges.
The
patterns are rather old school, also in pattern size, but
they do have a few full-pattern round plates and some square plates that are pretty cool.
The plate size: The
square plates are 5.8 x 5.8 cm and WITH the plastic backing 6.2 x 6.2 cm. The
round plates have a 5.5 cm diameter.
The pattern size The patterns on round plates are from 1.5 x 1.8
cm to full patterns and on the square plates they vary a little around 1.5/6 x 1.7/8 cm.
The price for each plate is £6.99 for the square plates
and £4.99 for the round plates.
The etching is an average medium depth, I did however have
problems with the finer lines in one plate.
Where to buy: From MoYou Nails – and apparently some
distributors that are not named on the website.
But let's say hello to the ones I bought - and some of the manis - click on the photos to see a larger version:

I’m not
happy with the way the fine lines came out – even if I chose a polish and
stamper that gave me the least problems. The pattern on my ring finger is however OK, and I’m not saying it’s the plates fault –
but it does not work for me….
So, what do I think?
Pros:
I found the etching OK and most plates easy to use.
The
plate photos/images on the website are easy to see.
Cons:
The
pattern size does not fit long nails, I can make most fit on my nail length if
I’m careful, but I would like them to be bigger.
The
plastic backing on the square plates makes them a bit too big for storing in traditional
plate holders.
The choice
of patterns is generally not very novel – all seen before and has that old
school stamping plates feel to them.
I miss
info on distributors in other countries.
I miss
information on the plate size and pattern size on the website.
Final conclusion: The plates are OK as such, but I do not feel
they are unique, and I’m not really impressed by them as they are at the
moment.
Buy again? No, I don’t think so.
I hope
