Beauty Big Bang Stamping Plate 9 - Swatches & Review

Sunday, 6 May 2018


As promised, today I have the stamping plate I was sent to review by Beauty Big Bang to share with you.  This is plate 09 and features six full sized floral designs.  I am not sure what else I can write for this intro so let's just jump straight into the swatches and review shall we?

Image from Beauty Big Bang
I quite like the detail on this first image so much so I thought it was perfect to swatch the pink and purple stamping polishes I also received from Beauty Big Bang.


I definitely couldn't use this plate and not do my traditional multicoloured sponge background.  I love how this manii turned out.  For my base I used Pretty Serious Cosmetics Dollface, Poppet and Tootsie, and stamped using Hit The Bottle's As Black As Night.


I really like this plate.  I think the images are really pretty and they stamp really well.  Have you tried any stamping plates from Beauty Big Bang?

Beauty Big Bang Stamping Polishes - Swatches & Review

Saturday, 5 May 2018


A couple of months ago I was contacted by Beauty Big Bang to see if I would like to try some of their products.  I have seen quite a few people use their products and everyone seemed to be saying good things so I figured why not.  I was sent two stamping polishes (which I will be sharing with you today) and a stamping plate (which I have used to swatch the stamping polishes but will be doing a separate post tomorrow).


Now before I get into my actual review of these stamping polishes I do want to mention a couple of things.  Firstly - the shipping.  The shipping time is quite long from the time they are sent to the time they are received.  All up it took about four to five weeks to arrive.  I believe that this is a standard delivery time.  Secondly (and this is a bit of a rant) the customer service.  During our discussions back and forth I was never once told the expectation on how long I had to swatch and review their products.  As a general rule I swatch everything within a week (or sometimes within a fortnight if I have a lot of swatching commitments).  Anyway, I emailed last Friday to say that I had received their package.  I received an email 48 hours later asking me if I had done my review and to provide the links.  48 hours!  I was shocked!  I never would have agreed to swatch and review their products if I knew that the turn around time was 24-48 hours.  So communication definitely isn't Beauty Big Bangs strong suit - so beware in case you need to contact their customer service.

For my swatches I used both a black and white creme polish and used stamping plate 9 from Beauty Big Bang (which I will have swatches and a review of tomorrow).

Pink Stamping Polish.  As you can see this one stamps beautifully over white, and is ok over the black.  I was hoping it would be more opaque over the black but it still stamps well.


Purple Stamping Polish.  This one definitely stamps better over then black than the pink one did and again stamps beautifully over the white.


Putting aside my annoyance with how I was treated (I was apologized to after my reply to the email asking me for the links to me review - but still to expect swatches and a review done in 48 hours without asking for that time frame is ridiculous) I do like the stamping polishes that I have tried.  They both stamp beautifully over white and do pretty well over black.
