Beauty Big Bang Review: Mermaid Brush & Aurora Nail Powder

 Press Sample 

Hi guys! Today I have a review of 2 items from Beauty Big Bang to share with you.

First up, we have this beautiful Mermaid Brush (SKU: J2828-2C). I had actually picked out another design, but received this one instead. I did let them know, so I hope that it helps them be more careful when sending out their items. Other than that, the brush was perfectly fine. It's beautiful, and it's just so soft. Overall, a good quality brush in my opinion.

I took inspiration from the brush itself, and did a gradient plus stamping to match. I started off with a green base, and when dry, I did the gradient using that same green, plus a blue and a purple. Once I finished the gradient, I top coated to get my gradient as blended as possible, and then proceeded to stamp the mermaid scale design on all of my nails. The last thing to do was to apply top coat. I just love the look of this mermaid mani, especially with all the fun colors.

The second item I received, is the Aurora Nail Powder (SKU: J2831). The powder was pretty easy to work with, and it gave my mani such a pretty effect.

Close-Up:

I used the same mermaid gradient mani as my base, and I added a layer of No-Wipe Gel Top Coat so the powder could stick. I cured that layer, and then began to apply the powder. I used a silicone tool to pick up the powder and rub it onto my nails. I had actually tried the silicone tool once before with a holo powder, and it did not work for me, but this time around, I had no issue. I believe it might work better with specific powders, and maybe practice - which I need a lot of. Anyway, once all my nails were covered with the powder, I went ahead and used the Mermaid Brush to dust off the excess powder. Last thing to do, was to apply a coat of No-Wipe Gel Top Coat and cure.

Close-Ups:

So what do you guys think? The powder gave the mani such a cool effect, and my nails and the brush ended up matching quite well. I loved this look.

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed the manis and reviews. If you're planning to make a purchase, remember to use my code ANNY for 10% off your order. I've also gone ahead and listed their socials below, in case you'd like to give them a follow.
