UberChic Beauty Got Chevrons?

(Press samples and affiliate links ahead!)

Hello!


Are you a fan of chevrons? They're an absolute staple of nail art, and nobody does them as well as UberChic Beauty--check out all the different variations on their Got Chevron? plate:



What I love best about this plate: If you can image it as a chevron, it's here. And for me, chevrons are awesome for mixing and matching in manicures, and for using as texture behind other images. Basically, this plate turbo-charges all your other plates. :)


UberChic Beauty full-nail images are 1.7 x 2.1 cm, and here's a shot with a ruler so you can judge the smaller images:



UberChic Beauty's plates are always excellent quality:




As always, these are done with my clear stamper, and this time with Sally Hansen Plummet, and Re-Teal Therapy.


Normally I like to do 2-3 manicures for you when I show you a plate. But I wanted to hurry up and get this one out to you before Christmas, and for my Christmas Childhood Memories challenge prompt, so I'll be back with more from this plate soon.


One of the things I remember most about Christmas when I was a child was the special that would come on TV, like Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer--back then there was no on demand or pausing a show, so you had to wait until the network aired it, and you sat glued to the TV while it was on. For my mani honoring those kitschy retro holiday TV shows, I started with a base of Girly Bits Cosmetics The Hustle. Then I stamped the curly chevron with Messy Mansion Chalk and Red-y Or Not; in the meantime, I made decals with the reindeer head from UberChic Beauty's Holiday Spirit plate, stamped with Messy Mansion Carbon and filled in with Messy Mansion Gingerbread:

I love how cheerful and festive this came out, with a heavy does of holo bling! And it takes me right back to the happy I felt watching those TV specials.


You can find both of the plates in UberChic Beauty's store, and you can stalk them around the interwebs here:




Happy stamping!
