I finally have this plate...I FINALLY HAVE THIS PLATE! I apologise for the all caps but I've been waiting for this plate to come back in stock for a year and a half. I then lost hope of it ever coming back after MoYou announced that they would not be reprinting plates, meaning once they're gone; they're gone. Great if you have money...not so great if you have no money and suffer from severe fomo.
I'd actually forgotten that I had pressed for an email alert for when it came back in stock but then, one fateful afternoon at work; I checked my phone and in the emails was an in-stock notification. I bought this plate immediately. It's perfect for making 80's New Wave nail art and it has the "Miami Vice" text on it....I can't find another plate anywhere with Miami Vice written on it.
I instantly wanted to do some retro nails and googled "Miami Vice New Wave" and the first result was this beautiful picture by the talented Yoko Honda.
I've never heard or seen of this artist before but when I went to her Instagram I noticed that MoYou London follow her. I have feeling this is where the inspo for the plate came from! I wish I could buy her artwork as this stuff absolutely belongs on the wall but I can't seem to find a store for her art anywhere (she also hasn't updated insta in a while :( ).
For this look I started off with two coats of Music is my Muse and then dotted Masala Chai in the background to create some stars. I then stamped on the palm trees using Night Sky and went over the stamps with Masala Chai and a fine brush to add some detail. The moon and "chill" had a base stamp using a white stamping polish before using Tickled. This helped it to stand out more and also gave it a nice double stamp look.
Unfortunately this plate has once again sold out. When I put that I had managed to snag it on my Insta stories, MoYou responded saying they only had 3 in stock that they had received from returns! Who on earth would return this plate?
