MoYouNails Salon Pro 7 Full Nail Designs + Giveaway

Happy Saturday!

Today I have a review of MoYouNails new Salon Pro 7 set and 6 of the new polishes. 

The set includes: big plate 6, 1 stamper and scraper set, and 1 corrector pen.  I was also sent the new colors that were released: down grey, persian turquoise, shocking pink, royal purple, california orange, and atlantic green. 



I will be separating the review into 5 separate posts since the plate has so many designs. Today my review will be on the full nail designs. The plate has 35 full nail designs, but I will be showing you four of the fun ones I picked. 

First up I decided to do a flower lilac manicure. The detail transferred very nicely. The pattern on my index finger is my favorite! I will definitely be using it again as an accent nail alone. The base color is Essie Nice is Nice. The color I stamped with was royal purple.

Next I decided to do some advance stamping. So I stamped the design onto the stamper, added a layer of top coat, colored in with the new colors by MoYouNails, and placed it onto my nails. There was a white base coat so the colors would pop! I really like how it turned out. 

I really liked the hawaiian flower designs so I decided to use Atlantic Green/California Orange of the colors from the MoYouNails line. I simply put two colors onto the plate and scraped it a couple times till it bended together. I used a white base coat again so you could see the true vibrancy of the colors. The patterns transferred nicely.

The last design I decided to do was a beach theme manicure. I did advance stamping again with Persian Turquoise so I could fill in the scales with the metallic blue color. As you can see the scales transferred nicely. The dolphin and wave design also transferred very nicely.

Overall I really liked the full nail designs. The full nail designs mix well with the smaller designs in the plate. The images transferred very nicely. Remember it is all about practice. You need to practice a few times before you stamp on your nail. Another tip is to put a top coat onto the stamp and wait for it to dry. Then you can peel it off and and place the design in the correct orientation and in the exact place you want. Then top it off with a nice top coat and you are set to go. With all the designs offered in this plate, you would have enough different manicures for the entire year!
