Oh yeah this stuff works like magic! I haven't tried it out as a regular nail polish, but it sure is a SUPER pigmented color for nail stamping! As a Pro Nail Tech I need my product to work perfectly since the results directly effect my livelihood, and the MoYou London stamping lacquer does exactly what I need it too. It goes on the plate pretty thick- like pudding consistency, and it is REALLY dark. Actually a very minor con of this product is that because it is so pigmented if you get it on your skin it can be hard to get off, even with pure acetone. just protect your clients fingers from stains by using a liquid latex or similar product around the nail prior to stamping and you're good. Another interesting quality of this stuff is that it seems to dry very quickly. when you pick it up with the stamper, and apply it to the nail it goes on like a paper-thin decal. it's pretty cool, although every once-in a while if your client has deep sidewalls it can form a little "decal bridge" of sorts over the cuticle. To fix this just gently press the design down around the sides of the nail with a pusher, or orangewood stick. I will be buying more colors. Works on regular nail polish, and over gel polish!Fast dry time = fast topcoat time!Alpine Snow ReviewI love this nail polish. It’s an almost white polish with a very subtle grey undertone. You only need one coat. It drys to a statin finish. I’ve used a shiny top coat and a matte top coat and it amazing with both. I think so far my favorite color to stamp on top is with lady gold pink - it gives that color a pale rose gold tone. Only thing is if you are using a light metallic - you’ll need a thicker or fuller stamping design. I used a thin constellation stamp and it got washed out. It works well with pastels and darker colors too.As a stamping polish it works well. It’s solid and I get perfect stamps with. So far I used on top of black, and med-dark gray, and pale lavender. It looked lovely with those.This is one of my favorite colors.This polish is great for stamping. No smudges, applies cleanly, no bubbles.However, it doesn’t have great staying power. Since it generally doesn’t dry very hard (usually dries pretty gummy for me), I will apply an additional stronger top coat. After about 4-5 days of wear, the top layer of polish will flake off.If you do your nails more frequently this isn’t really an issue. I will be buying more for sure though since the smudge resistance is really top-notch.This top coat really does not smudge stamping nail polishes at all! I noticed that stamping polishes tend to get smudged quite a bit by regular top coats, which simply ruins all your hard work and your mood. This top coat works great and smells pretty good (almost like Sprite, I'm not even kidding). I apply another layer of top coat from Seche after applying this just to make sure everything really stays in place for as long as possible.I love this .. the only reason I’m giving it 4 ⭐️ It’s because u have to apply 2 layers to have a none transparent canvas to work on .. it dries quick ?..if ur like me, always doing something, not having the time to sit n wait for nail polish to dry, u will love this brand of polish ..I love the MoYou stamping polishes and plates. They are highly pigmented, easy to work with and the plates are on trend. By far my favorite to work with.I'd love to see more bundles offered on amazon like on the website (polish+plates) as it's easier for us to buy in the US. Love the 'get the look' images as it gives me great ideas.I originally received a defective polish and the company was very quick to send me a new one. The new one works perfectly! I was struggling to find a clear top coat to use over my nail stamps and this one is perfect.I have used MoYou Smudge Resistant top coat several times. My stamped images stay clean and crisp with no running or smudges. The trick is to let the stamped image dry slightly, then gently glide top coat on without pressing down to hard. Lovely!Love this colour. I have a number of different colours of Moyou stamping polish but this is my fave so far. Used with the Pro XL 29 plate, have had lots of compliments so far. Can't wait to buy more colours!!
