Hey Guys!

Here's some quick test stamping that I did from one of the Aliexpress Pueen dupe plates, from my haul and first impression post. I stamped over two coats of Orly Watch Out, or Elsa! as my base and one coat of Coronation Ball for a topper, both are from the The Elsa Frozen Orly Color Blast Collection which I recently reviewed.  

 

I loved the combo of these two, my nails were so sparkly I couldn't keep my eyes of them! I stamped them using WetNWild French White Creme and plate OM-14(Pueen 72)

Over all this plate stamped nicely, the images picked up nicely and were etched pretty well. These are my first buffet style plates, so so my placement could have been better(my thumb is my favorite). I can't wait to work more with the plates and in the next week I plan on test stamping the rest of the of the plates. Until then here's my first impression video and live stamping of this plate:

Hey Guys!

While I was scrolling through Aliexpress I ran across some stamping plates that looked familiar, once I took a closer look I realized that they were Pueen Buffet dupes with some Born Pretty dupes thrown in too. The price was amazing so I ordered them and about a week or so later they were in my hands!

Right out of the package

They all came individually wrapped and are as pictured:

From l-r Dupes for Pueen 50, 58, 60, 66

From l-r Dupes for Pueen 68,65, 57, 52

From l-r Dupes for Pueen 51,72, 63,71

From l-r Dupes for Pueen 59, 56, 64, 70

From l-r Dupes for Pueen 54,73, 55 and Born Pretty Dupe BP25

The Aliexpress seller found here is located in China but shipping was very fast, expected delivery was suppose to be 5-15 days and I received it in 7 days. The seller offers the plates in lots of 10 and she has 30 plates to choose from. I chose 20 of my favorites which included 19 of the Pueen dupes and 1 Born Pretty dupe. The plates are usually $8.80 but I caught them on sale and paid $5.72. The plates measure 5.5cm by 5.5cm and the couple of plates I tested so far are very nicely etched. The only down side is that the plates do not have any backing, so be careful when handling them. 

In the up coming week I plan on doing a post test stamping all the plates so stay tuned, but for now here's a closer look at all the plates and test stamping of one of them:

Hey guys!

I spotted these on display at my local Walgreens and my jaw dropped. I've never seen Orly at my Walgreen and I hadn't heard anything about this new collection, so of course I had to snatch some up. 

Walgreen Display for the Orly Elsa Frozen Collection

The collection of 12 polishes includes 6 from the Snow Queen's Spring Set(which are all light and icy pastel shades). 

Snow Queen's Spring Display

Arendelle Spring Set includes 6 polishes (which are all brighter bold shades). 

Arendelle Spring Display

At my store, they were available in 0.37fl oz/11ml bottles and were $6.99 each or in a two piece set for 10.99.

Snow Queen's Spring Display

Snow Queen:

A crisp bright white cream with a very subtle blue flash in the bottle, that unfortunately doesn't translate to the nail. Thicker formula, first coat was kinda patchy and the second coat evened it out nicely and made it wearable but I think three coat would make it fully opaque. 

Two thin coats of Snow Queen

Watch Out, or Elsa!:

A berry with gold flakies, thinner formula and very smooth application. First coat went on smooth and even and the second was fully opaque. In the picture I'm wearing two thin coats but it would be wearable with one think coat.

Coronation Ball:

A lilac glitter topper with a slightly thicker formula. One coat can be worn as a glitter topper, two coats makes it wearable alone and three would make it fully opaque. It has an amazing shine, I couldn't stop staring at my nails!

Frozen:

An ice blue frost, very sheer thin formula. Opaque and wearable in three coats, has a frosty pearl like finish with visible brushstrokes.

Three Thin Coats of Frozen

Ice-Solated:

A pale blue with a subtle teal shimmer that is visible on the nail. Thinner formula, first and second coats were patchy, evened out and fully opaque in three coats.

Winter Blush:

A bright hot pink cream with a subtle blue flash in the bottle, the blue is very faint but noticeable on the nail. The first two coats were patchy and the third coat made it fully opaque.

In Summer:

A bright yellow crelly with orange/gold micro flakies, sheer thinner formula. Wearable in three coats with nail line slightly visible and fully opaque in four coats.

Olaf You A Lot:

A bubble gum pink cream with a thinner formula. First coat was a bit patchy but it was fully opaque in two coats.

Warm Hugs:

A bright vibrant orange based red cream, thin formula that goes on smooth. First coat was a bit sheer but even, wearable in two coats but my nail line was slightly visible.

Free Spirit:

A bright berry cream, thinner formula and very smooth and even application. Very wearable in two coats and fully opaque in three. In the picture I'm wearing three thin coats, but that's only because my nail line was slightly visible with two coats.

Two thin coats of Free Spirit

Kristoff He Goes:

A mid toned teal cream, very nice formula that goes on smooth. Easily a one coater, slightly staining.

A Happy... Puddle

A bright blue crelly, thinner formula. First coat goes on a bit sheer and patchy, fully opaque on two coats.

There were a couple of shades that are pretty similar so I took comparison shots:

Free Spirit and Watch Out, Or Elsa! Comparison 

Overall I think it's a really cool collection, my favorites are Watch Out, Or Elsa, Free Spirit, and Coronation Ball because the formula and pigmentation of them are awesome(plus I love purple). My least favorites are In Summer and Snow Queen because I didn't care for the formulas. My daughter and I love Frozen and I think it's such a cute collection to have especially if your a fan of the movie.

      Have you found them in  your stores yet? Which one is your favorite?
