Mystic Moth Mani - Nail Art
This is part 2 of my recent Maniology Haul where I use a nail stamping plate that I got some other time...Anesayart Celestial Wings (M364). After using this plate, I think the little arched window graphics with the flat bottom would work better if you have square nails. It's also just a tiny bit big. I should probably try to figure out how to work a shrinking stamper.

We have the same cleanup brush 😂
Twinning!
Ugh i love moths. Moon moths is more fun to say! Lol
It is!
THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME TO PUT A STAMPER IN MY MANIOLOGY ORDER!!!
I like their ice cube stamper more than the monocle, but most of mine are dupes from Ali Express.
wow 🤩 i love moths 😄 do you have some favorite plates from maniology? what kind of stamper do you using during the video?
I just placed my first maniology order! I'm so excited!
I'm using a stamper that seems to be a dupe of the Maniology Ice Cube Stamper that I got on Ali Express. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DmxOwQj If you like moths, any of the Anesayart plates would be good. The quality is very consistent, so it really depends on your style. If I could only have one plate...hmm...I can't even decide. Probably something with abstract swirls or flowers.
@@TiffanyFord_13 what did you order? 😀 now i'm also excited lol
@@couchpotatolovespolish I got some Halloween plates, a harry Potter plate, and mushroom plate & a camping plate!
@@nerdlovesnails thank you for the link 🙂 i have a similar stamper from shein but it doesn't pick up the image that good 🙈 using it now for water decals 😊
Very beautiful 🧡🤍
Thank you ❤
Oh that blue OPI looked gorgeous 💙
It's supposed to be a winter shade, but I love it for summer. And thanks! It means so much to me that you took the time to comment.
That pin-up plate is so fun! p.s. Fish Scale surprised the heck outta me!!
It's so crazy how these multi-chromes work.
As a fellow prugly lover. I knew you'd love the LynB!! p.s. those actually make a nice skittle too! p.p.s. Square Hue was a monthly subscription and you'd get 3 polishes every month. p.p.p.s. Static rebranded but I can't remember who they became.
You made such great choices. I can't thank you enough. 🥰
Leave my nails naked and I can't have that - love it!!! Great Manis!
Idk if its the weirdest place, but im constantly getting nail polish on ky phone while doing my nails lol
Same! At least it's only on my phone case...for now.
i'm the same, my face is hovering over my hand when i do my nails 😅 the weirdest place where i had polish was on my pants after i made my mom's nails 😂 and i have always glitter on my face when i take some polish off that had glitter in it 😁
Oh no! I hope you were able to get it out of your pants! We have glitter everywhere! My husband decorated a sign with blue glitter and I don't think we'll ever not sparkle again. 😂
@@nerdlovesnails i wore a pair of black sweatpants when i did her nails 😊 just a little acetone free polish remover (from a pen) and the polish was gone 😄 glitter everywhere sounds like a nice problem to have 👍😂
Metamorphosis.....😅
You will fall under the spell of Metamorphosis 😵💫
This is such a fun idea!!
It was super fun.
Hey Tonya I have some exciting news I got picked for collaborations with two different companies I am beyond so happy and grateful thank you so much for supporting my channel ❤️☺️
Hi!! That's so amazing, congrats!!!
That is so awesome! I'm really happy for you.
🐞 Love the bugs!
Thanks! I have to stop myself from putting things like that on my nails every day 😂
the polish you are wearing looks gorgeous 😍
Thank you! I sure love it.
I have a color similar to that. I just got in a mystery box that I purchased. it’s actually very gorgeous.
Similar to Marzipan? Mystery boxes can be so fun!
@@nerdlovesnails yes but it’s a gel mystery boxes are fun 🤩☺️
@@34Nails Nice!
@@nerdlovesnails Thank you your collection is amazing as well ☺️❤️
** Update ** Walmart is out of stock of the index card boxes and it looks like they raised the price. I found some on Amazon that look similar and have placed an order. * amzn.to/4cgKhVM
Oh, I love jelly queen! I'm on the hunt for the rest of that collection!
I found Jelly Bella (light blue) at my local Dollar General. At some other DG that's way out of my way (we were on the way back from ComicCon), my son's best friend asked if they had any light blue and said he was thinking of trying nail polish, so I bought him the one plain light blue they had. They also had a different light blue LAC jelly that I bought for myself. I showed it to my husband when we were all back in the car and the kid was like "They had light blue glitter?!!" and I gave him that too. So now I'm still looking for that other light blue jelly.
I love how you do the green screen to show yourself and the nails at the same time!
It's because I don't have a fancy space to film
My favorit peeloff base coat is from picture polish , because its the only one i can take shower whit whitout they fall off . This color is making waves is very beautiful 🤍👍
Thanks for putting Picture Polish on my radar!
You did some really beautiful ones. A couple went straight to my list! Thanks for sharing. 🎉🎉
Thank you so much!
Oh, your first Cuticulas!!! This is in my top 5 brands in terms of favorites and how many I have of them!
Good to know! It would be so fun to see a post with your top five! 😉
Thanks for an amazing swatch video ❤❤ gotta say swatch videos are very relaxing for me. Thanks again😊
Thanks for watching!
Update: These brushes fit Moonshine Mani's caps, although they are a little short. Also, the link in the description has been showing out of stock. If you search for "nail polish replacement brushes" the right thing should show up in the results. Sometimes, the product description says it's 5.5 cm long. I ordered a box of those because they looked exactly like the brushes I already have and they are, indeed, exactly like what I have...3.9cm long.
Omg thank you so much for this update and for this video mostly!!! I found your channel looking up videos for lynbdesigns polishes. And then came across this video and I'm subscribing to your channel. I just bought 2 boxes and am so excited to change my LA Colors and MSM. I wonder if they would work for Cirque Colors- I shall find out once they arrive! Bits of Polish has a similar video on replacement brushes for LA Colors but I like that these are way cheaper! .06c vs .25c Again, thank you 🎉🎉🎉.
@@pamelabeth I'm so glad it was helpful and thank you so much for subscribing! I think that Cirque Colors needs the KShimmer or Glisten & Glow brush (from what I read) but I don't have any of their polishes to confirm that. I expect LynB to have a 50% off sale to coincide with her Prugly Prunes release.
i'm happy you're happy 😄 when you are in the mood for dark polish, i recommend looking at the shattered fantasy 2 collection. kraken's wrath and burning embers are on my top picks for the year so far. i haven't worn majestic waters yet only because i've been waiting for some nicer weather here. i can't wait to get it on 😆
Omg, I have those 2 polishes on my to buy list!! Your video made me want them 🙃
Thanks for the recommendations. I'll check those collections out.
you got some nice polishes 🙂 just looked up the tea collection you mention in the video, they are so pretty 🥰 i don't have any cuticula yet but maybe in the future 😊
Thanks! I'm very happy with them.
This was my first time getting thr subscription too. I was kind of disappointed we didnt get one of their chunkier flakey balms.
did you sign up for the spoiler email?
I’m sorry you’re disappointed 😢 If you sign up for their spoiler email, you can preview and skip if you want. That’s what pushed me over the edge to subscribe.
@@JenniferDufoe I am now, I think! The first FB page I joined wasn't the correct one lol
@@nerdlovesnails I still like these polishes though! I was just hoping for a chunky flakey balm lol
I just recently got Morning Dew and can't wait to wear it! So pretty 😍
It's such a great spring and summer color. Thanks for watching!
Love your tutorial! So cool listening to your husband say how good they look!
Thank you so much! I'm fortunate that he is very supportive of my hobbies 🥰
@@nerdlovesnails it’s so important when your partner supports you! 💜
@@jeanniepagano2481 Definitely!
I only ended up with "Courage" by Sassy Cat. I was hoping for the Ethereal, but it was sold out in 10 minutes. lol I was hoping to skip PPU this month so I'm sort of relieved I only ended up with the one polish this month. HHC has more polishes that I'm interested in this month, so it's all good. :)
I'm so sorry you missed out on one of your items. I tell myself there will always be more polish. I haven't looked at HHC closely yet.
@@nerdlovesnails It is what it is. lol You're absolutely right...there will always be more polish. lol Did you see the new Pampered Polish collection yet? I really like "Wall-e. :)
@@lisabartz2719 I just went and looked it up. What a unique & pretty polish!
@@nerdlovesnails yeah, i think so too. :) I found out this morning that the Ethereal Lacquer I missed out on added more, so I was able to pick it up afterall. :)
@@lisabartz2719 Yay! I'm so happy for you.
I have Cadillaquer, Patty Lopes, Vanessa Molina and a few other non-polish items but I think I’m gonna skip. The VM was the main one but I have a Rogue on the way that I think will be close to it.
Vanessa Molina I will Protect you is a stunner! No shame in sitting out. There will always be more polish.
I like your way better. I bought a binder and used maniology dividers and boy is it heavy then I have a couple of their little binders.
It's working well so far. I couldn't deal with pulling them out of the plastic holders with wet nails and saw people using baskets and bins with dividers. Thanks for watching!
I remember when I got this set in the mail, I was SO disappointed. It took me forever to use any of them (I still might have some of them in my untried helmer) and I dislike them all! Your nail art looked incredible!!
Taste is so subjective!
Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed this collection. 🙂☮️❤️
Thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only one 🙂
Heck yeah, I want to know more about DIY stamping plates! I'm over here just blown away at the mere idea of it!🤯
I'm working on it! I want to show how to build the zapper thingy with stuff you can get easily, so that's taking me some time to put together.
@@nerdlovesnails Hey, you "talk" just like me with the thing in the thing on the thing, you know, right?!?🙃😉😋
@@lifeandrandomness1868 😆
👍 Nice swatching
Thank you!
If you're still interested in using UNT, What's Up Beauty sells it on their site. I believe there are other reliable stockists for it as well, but that's the only one I can recall immediately. Thankfully, there are many more peel-off options today than in the past, so even if UNT (or HT) aren't for you, at least there are other choices now.
I really like your "can it stamp" thanks for trying them!
Thank you! I really like doing it.
That gradient is so beautiful -- I'd wear that by itself!
Right?! I think that's why this set was so successful.
@@nerdlovesnails The gradient has an oil-slick vibe to it, which is one of all-time FAVES!! Great job putting those colors together!
@@lifeandrandomness1868 Thank you!
I loooved Ascension! I see the duochrome too!
Thanks! It's my 2nd favorite after Urban Landscape.
Wow - that's awesome! I'm a new sub, and in one of your videos you mentioned how your nail art isn't always the best. Well, based on this alone, I'd say you've officially graduated to the next level!! (And it looks like the next vid of your May Flower Moon Nails is going to be even more amazing!!!)
Thank you so much for subscribing, commenting, and for the kind words! I'm Ok at the technical aspects of nail stamping. After that, it's like a coloring book. It's the color combinations that give me trouble.
Hey, thanks for sharing. This collection is new to me, but I haven't had Orly polishes on my radar at all so not a surprise. lol You definitely can pull these colors off...me not so much. No shame in starting to appreciate purples. I'm still not a major fan of the color myself, but I am admittedly starting to enjoy purples with stuff going on. :)
Hey, Lisa! At least there are nearly unlimited colors to suit any taste and skin tone 😀 I hope your move is moving along and you're feeling better.
@@nerdlovesnails The packing has been tedious. It's my own fault I have too much stuff. Stuff my kids left behind when they moved out. My grandkid has stuff here too. I've been trying to tackle room by room, but it's total chaos right now. I focused on my kitchen today and I'm hopeful tomorrow it will be finished up. Than I can target the laundry area. I've been downsizing and it's getting easier. I didn't expect this to be so emotional, but it has been...not that I'm not welcoming this change...it's time. :) Health wise I'm doing better this week. Thanks for asking. :)
@@lisabartz2719 Glad to hear it. It sounds like you have things under control.
@@nerdlovesnails Not hardly. lol
@@lisabartz2719 😿
I have most of this collection or else I'd already be over on Orly's site snapping it up -- I really love the polishes I have, and I suggest anyone who's been on the fence, go for it at this SUPER low price!! Also, what is that polish you had on at the very beginning of the video? It's stunning!!
Whew! I'm so glad I'm not the only person that likes it. I don't think I read or watched a single overall positive review.
It's Mooncat Mercury's Tears. Sorry, I didn't see the part about what I was wearing. I can't believe I didn't mention it.
@@nerdlovesnails It's seriously glowy on camera! I may have to add this one to my wishlist for their next sale. Thanks!
i can really feel your excitement! i was so happy for you about your stamping. nail art takes sooo long! its such an exciting time when the outcome is worth it. this collection is not my style, but i still love watching people love on nail polish ☺
Thank you! Nail art does take some extra time, for sure...but it's time having fun with polish
@@nerdlovesnails Yes, I agree!! That's what I told myself when I bought too many magnetics last month in PPU 😆 But some days you just have extra time and you want to play with your polishes, so that's when I plan on using my magnetics. That way I'm not trying to rush the magnet process and really just holding that there for a while and trying to get the best results. 😀
@@JenniferDufoe 🧲take a lot of time!
I'm curious -- what was the total amount you ultimately spent when you did your AliExpress order? I'm primarily looking to learn more about what to expect in terms of additional expenses incurred to have international shipments cross our border here in the US. Thanks.
Checking my order history, I paid the following. Subtotal $3.68 Shipping $2.19 Tax $0.35 Total $6.22 There were no fees applied by any federal, state, or local agency in the US.
@@nerdlovesnails Thanks for sharing. Honestly, I simply don't understand our border rules (not immigration...just for shopping: duties, taxes, whatever). I'm a researcher by nature, I like to find the answers for myself if at all possible, but I read on this topic till my brain was hurting back when Clionadh Cosmetics had their recent sale. The more I read, the more confused I got, so I finally looked up the number for my local office of CBP and called a REAL LIVE HUMAN!! (I know, shocking!) I ended up speaking to two different people and while the more senior of them finally said I was unlikely to be hit with anything based on the facts I provided to him, he still made it clear that there could be variables which could change that. <ugh> I've done some work for the IRS and I thought that was THE most intentionally convoluted & screwed up system we have here, but I've come to change my tune after my little foray into trying to understand the CBP process!!
Awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks <3
