Stamping Plate: Beauty Big Bang 05 (Tartan Knit)

I got this stamping plate last year and haven't gotten around to reviewing it yet!

Beauty Big Bang 05 is a square stamping plate with six full nail images on. All of the images stamp across really well and are longer which is great for longer nails.

Review: BeautyBigBang - Black Mirror Powder*

This nail powder is a black mirror one from Beauty Big Bang. You get 0.5g of powder, which doesn't sound much but you get enough for a fair few applications. Comes in a little twist lid tub sealed with a cardboard stopper. It comes with a sponge tip applicator in a small resealable pouch along with the twist lid pot of powder. 

The idea is you paint your nails and use a UV / Gel topcoat, it has to be one which leaves a tacky residue once 'cured' under the UV / Gel light. Once the topcoat is cured you use the applicator to apply some product, dabbing at first and then rubbing the product in to the nail to create a beautiful mirror shine surface on the nails.

Review: BeautyBigBang - Silicone Stamper and Scraper*

This is a large clear squishy stamping head which is held within a clear holder, this one is from BeautyBigBang.

The exact size of this is; diameter 4cm, height 5.5cm.

The stamping head is made of a squishy silicone, I would describe this as being very squishy but not as much as a sticky marshmallow style stamper. 

I could use this straight out of the package, it didn't need priming or prepping in anyway. It comes with a branded cap which is very useful for storage as it stops lint from sticking to it. I don't recommend using acetone to clean this stamper, I would suggest a sticky lint roller for this one.

What I liked about this stamper is how the head as well as the holder, is clear which means that it is very easy to line up the image on the nail.

The scraper is also clear, this one has a festive design on it. It is the size of a credit card although it is a lot more flexible than a typical card or scraper.

Stamping Plate: BeautyBigBang - 13 (Christmas, Snowflake, Snowman)*

 

This is a rectangle stamping plate from BeautyBigBang. It is 6cm by 6cm, it comes in a cardboard slip and with a blue plastic protective layer which you peel off. It also comes with a branded backing which stops the edges from being sharp.

 

The stamping plate comes with nine single images and three full nail images.

I found all of the images stamped across well and the larger full nail images are long enough to use on longer nails which for me is a bonus. I didn't find that I needed any special techniques to get these images to stamp, easy to work with.

Here are some nails I have done using this plate;
