I don't want to put the horse before the cart, so I'll talk about the base color first. Pony x Memebox Eclipse is a k-beauty product featuring a plum-red base and a slight scattered holo. The holo isn't very strong, but it does add a nice sparkle.
I was really impressed with the application. The brush is lovely; it's wide, but not too wide and it was really easy to get just the right amount of polish each time. It applied smoothly in two thin coats and I love the control I had. I was able to cover the entire nail evenly without getting polish all over the sides of my finger. Given how inexpensive this polish was, I was quite impressed.
Now the stamping! This mani is inspired by the beautiful red and holo manis done by the creator of M Polish, @megatuce! I used BM-S105 from the new Bundle Monster Shangri-la collection. This plate was a beautifully intricate buffet of images and I love how I was able to use a different area on each nail to give a diverse feel while still looking tied together.
I used my FabUrNails stamper and a creative shop scraper. Of course, the stamping polish I used was M Polish To Have And To Holo, which is a gorgeous silver holo stamping polish and is just as fabulous as her other offerings. I've found my holy grail of stamping supplies because this combination of stamper, scraper and polish produces impeccable results. Even with the extremely detailed design and thin lines, I had perfect pickup every time. Ignore the dent in my stamper, that's what I get for improperly storing it.
And because I'm a macro whore, here's some holo porn for you!
I can't get enough of this mani. This is me in the grocery store parking lot this morning admiring my nails as they sparkle in the sun.
Did I convince you to go buy this polish yet? A little birdy told me that it's scheduled to be restocked around the end of the month!
