It's been a little while since I've done a video review, and I'm back today with a good one: MoYou London's Geek Collection 05 & 06, two of my favorites from the collection.
This versatile collection is just adorable--it takes all things geek chic and puts them at (and on!) your fingertips.
Here's the video review to kick things off:
And here are the still images of the plates:

Geek 05 has a wide variety of geekdoms represented: video games, Elvish script, Steampunk, emoticons, and more. There's not just one type of manicure represented here--you can go kitschy, geeky, elegant, masculine, computer chic-y.
Geek 06:

Geek 06 focuses a little more specifically on devices and computer-geek chic. Computer commands, buttons, internet interfacing, online acronyms and shortcuts. In today's world you can't get through your day without seeing multiple of these, so why not celebrate them and their hidden/implied meanings?
The three images at the top of Geek 06 are also on Geek 05, but the sizes differ. Geek 06 is the equivalent of the 'regular'-sized image plates, and 05 is and XL-sized plate; here are the two of them together so you can see the size difference:
And here are both of the plates next to a standard Konad plate so you can get a feel for the size of the images:

So how did the plates stamp? Very well:
("Hey Michelle! That's some pretty stamping polish ya got there. What is that?" Those are two of MoYou London's duochrome stamping polishes, and I'll be reviewing them for you very soon...)
The plates worked flawlessly, I had no problems stamping with them. They're very easy to work with, a total breeze for even a beginning stamper.
So what do you think, want to see a manicure??
Something about the message of putting 'ctrl+alt+del' on a stark black-and-white manicure just really appealed to me (I think I mentioned it in my video, even), and I just had to do it--I've had many days where I wish I could just hit the 'reboot' function, lol:
This is Julep Cleopatra stamped with Konad white. I wanted a satin finish, because I wanted this to look like a keyboard. I love how it came out, and think it's such a fun statement!
There are a ton of cute plates in this collection--another of my favorites is Geek 08, a collage-style plate made up of emoticons. So cute and so fun!!
You can find these plates on MoYou London's website; some of their plates also sell on Amazon. Check out their duochrome stamping polishes while you're there--I'll be reviewing them shortly, but spoiler alert: they're awesome. :)
Happy stamping!
