This is a lovely shade of grey. It seems to stay wet a little longer than a lot of my stamping shades. If you look closely you can see the image isn’t as crisp as it could be. I think it may have slipped a little while I was stamping so next time I’ll wait a few seconds before applying it to the nail. Other than that it’s pretty opaque over this vampy plum shade and I like it! I’ve enjoyed every ND stamping shade I’ve tried so far! If you’re into stamping nail art, give ND stamping shades a try! Their black and white shades are some of my all time favorites!

Let’s take a peek!

This mani is a semi fail. Not because of the stamping polish but because of my base choice. This stamping shade is more a light greyish brown when stamped over white. Over darker colors is more of a stone grey shade. 

The ND stamping polishes are pretty nice in my opinion. I'm always in the market for more amazing stamping shades.

This set has a clear backing so I chose a soft neutral for my base.

I cut up my decals and set one piece in a small glass bowl of water and waited around 20 seconds. I removed it from the water and slid off the paper backing and placed it onto my nail. I like to use a makeup sponge to press the decal on fully. I then used acetone to clean up any decal that had clung onto my skin. Once my clean up was done I gave them a nice coat of glossy top coat and that was it! Easy peasy and I really love the outcome.

To go along with these 6 pretty shades I’ve used 6 different images from the UberChic Radiate Love plate and I can’t wait to show you my results! I’ve stamped each shade over a black and white mani using the UC xl clear stamper with tall holder. 

Onto the swatches!

Over all I’m pretty happy with these shades. The fuschia color was the biggest disappointment over black. These all come numbered instead of having names, but the sticker is attached to the box top and not the bottle. I had taken them all out before realizing so I have no idea which shade goes with which number. These all come as a set so if you order a set for yourself  you’ll know ahead of time. I’d suggest gently removing the sticker from the box and glueing or taping it to the bottom of the bottles if you're like me and don't keep boxes. These have that slight plastic stamping polish smell, similar to bornpretty if you've used those. 

As for the images from the UC Radiate Love plate... I think they’re amazing! As always the images picked up nice and crisp. The plate has tons of beautiful designs that are perfect for lead lighting, laying over gradients, reverse stamping and more! I highly suggest this plate. It’s a stunner! I’ve also decided to give my UC xl stamper more love, it works so beautifully!

Let me what you think of these stamping images and polishes below!

*Received for swatching/review. All opinions are honest and 100% my own based on my experiences.

To test these I've taken each plate and stamped each image onto paper. I've used a mainstream black polish that tends to pick up most images. If I couldn't get the mainstream to pick up I used a red stamping polish.
