Happy Monday guys! I have the next stamping plate in the Beauty Big Bang Christmas Set to show you.
This is the Beauty Big Bang 13 Stamping Plate (SKU: J6402TM-3A). The plate features some happy snowmen, a wreath, a present, snowflakes and a variety of other images. I decided to use the snowflakes, and the bottom right image that has snowflakes/ribbon/trees.
I started off with a stunning pinkish taupe polish. Then, I picked up the image of the snowflakes/ribbon/trees, and got rid of the trees with a piece of tape. Once the trees were gone from my stamper, I stamped the remaining image onto my middle nail. For the rest of my nails, I picked up the snowflakes and stamped them on. To finish off, I applied some top coat.

Happy Friday guys! Today I will be sharing the next stamping plate from the Christmas Set I received from Beauty Big Bang.
This is the Beauty Big Bang 12 Stamping Plate (SKU: J6402TM-2A). The images are well etched which makes for easy pick-up. This plate features some fireworks, reindeer, Christmas lights, Christmas trees, etc. For my mani, I chose to use the Christmas trees and the lights.
I started off with a pastel green polish as my base, and I used a dark green to stamp. I picked up the Christmas lights image and did some reverse stamping using blue and red. Once it was filled in, I went ahead and stamped it on my pointer and pinky. After that, I picked up the image of the trees, and stamped it on my middle and ring finger. To finish off the mani, I added a dot of the same blue polish in the middle of the snowflakes. I think it made the whole look come together. To finish off, I applied a coat of top coat.

With the plate:
I like how these turned out. Also, the plate has some great images, and the fireworks image can even be used for other holiday manis. For example: New Year's and 4th of July.

Hi guys! Today I have some reindeer nails to show you, these are for Dec.20 of the Glam Nails Challenge. I started with a red polish as my base, which I actually got from my sister this Christmas. I then chose some reindeer images and stamped them on my nails. To finish this mani off, I added some white dots, or "snow", to my middle and ring nails. The last thing to do was to add top coat.
Close-Ups:
I like how these turned out. But I'm now kind of wishing that I had added a holo glitter topper on some parts of each nail, just for an added sparkle. Lol.
Anyway, thank you for stopping by. Until next time.

Hey guys! I recently received some items from Beauty Big Bang, so you'll be seeing some reviews for the next week or so.
The first thing I received was the Christmas Stamping Plate Set, which comes with 5 stamping plates. Today I'll be showing you the Beauty Big Bang 11 Stamping Plate (SKU: J6402TM-1A).
The plate is well etched, and has many characters and designs. The image that I ended up using was the present design with the bow. I started off with a blue base on all my nails, except my ring finger, which was silver. Once that dried, I went ahead and used the same silver polish to stamp on the present design. For my pointer and pinky, I picked up the same image, but I got rid of the bow, and only stamped on the circles. To finish off, I applied a blue stud to tie the whole look together. Last thing to do was to add top coat.
Close-Ups:
With the plate:
I like how it ended up looking. It was actually pretty difficult to get a good picture of these because the glare blocked the bow. Fortunately, you can see it more clearly on the last picture.
Well I hope you enjoyed this short review and the mani. If you're planning to make a purchase from Beauty Big Bang, remember to use my code ANNY for 10% off. I've listed their socials below in case you're interested.

Hi guys! The Dec.17 theme for Glam Nails Challenge was Christmas Wreath. I started off with red, white and black as my base colors. On my white nail, I used some round glitters and did a glitter placement to create the wreath. I only had a black/gold/white glitter mix, but I actually really liked how the colors looked all together in the end. To finish off the wreath, I picked up a bow image and made it into a decal, it actually popped up a bit because I added a second coat of top coat to it, which looked kind of cool. On my black nail, I added a gold and white glitter to complete the look. Last thing to do was apply top coat.
Close-Ups:
I really like how these turned out. I didn't use traditional colors, but I think they still look pretty Christmas-y.
Well thanks for stopping by, until next time.

Hi guys! Today's mani is for Dec.13 of the Glam Nails Challenge, and the theme was Poinsettia. I know I'm late with the challenges again, but I plan on finishing this. So I apologize to those of you that don't want to see holiday manis anymore, but expect more of them. Lol. Anyway, I started off with a golden yellow holo for my base and began to look for an image that would help me achieve the look of a poinsettia. I didn't have any poinsettia images, so I took a leaf image and used that. I first stamped it on with a green polish and added a lighter green to create the leaves. I then used a dark red polish and added red to make the petals of the flower. It could've come out better to be honest, I did regret not adding some white to the back of the flower. It would've popped more. Last thing I did, was add some golden dots near the middle of the flowers, let that dry, and added top coat.
Close-Ups:
Well I hope you guys still like these, even though they do look a bit weird. Thanks for stopping by, until next time.

Merry Christmas everyone! If you're celebrating, I hope you're having a wonderful time with your loved ones. If not, I hope you're having a good day regardless.
So, I know I'm really late in posting this, but I hope you like it. This mani is for the Glam Nails Challenge of Dec.06 and 10, the themes were Santa Claus and Jingle Bells. I started with a gorgeous green polish with copper flakies as my base. Then, I picked up the bell and Santa images and did some reverse stamping. After they were filled in, I waited for the polish to dry a bit so I could stamp them on. Once they were on my nails, all I had to do was apply top coat.
Close-Ups:
I really like how they came out, I hope you do too. Also, I absolutely LOVE my base polish, it's so pretty!
As always, thank you so much for stopping by. Until next time.

Hi guys! Today I have a review of some stamping plates sent to me by Beauty Big Bang. Maggie contacted me asking if I'd like to review some items for her, and I agreed.
There was 6 stamping plates in this set: 4 had Halloween images, and 2 had Christmas images. I really liked that each plate had a label on the bottom with the product number. Only one of them had the wrong label, but I managed to replace it with the right label that came on the packaging. Each stamping plate was also sealed and well-protected in the package it came in, which I was very impressed with. I believe the items arrived in 3 weeks, so they arrived about a week earlier than the expected time.
Okay, so how about we get to the stamping plates and manis?
First up we have the Beauty Big Bang 01 Stamping Plate (SKU: J3141TM-1A). It has some spiderwebs, bats, skulls/bones, and even a ghost.
For my mani, I decided to use the spiderwebs and hanging spiders. I chose a flakie polish that had some purple and green shift for my base, since it was a Halloween mani. Then I added the stamping, and the images came out so nice and crisp.
Close-Ups:
Next, we have the Beauty Big Bang 02 Stamping Plate (SKU: J3141TM-2A). This plate has some eyes/lollipops, a cat, some monsters and even some boos.
For my mani, I decided to go with the Trick or Treat image. I also used the full image that had spiderwebs, pumpkins, candelabras, etc. That image reminded me of The Haunted Mansion, so I really liked it. I love how this came out, and I think the purple polish base helped with this ghostly mani.
Close-Ups:
Next up is the Beauty Big Bang 03 Stamping Plate (SKU: J3141TM-3A). It features a haunted house, 4 different jack o' lantern faces, and some creepy ghost faces.
I chose the pumpkin images for my mani, and did some reverse stamping. You can see that I accidentally smudged the main pumpkin, which makes me a bit sad, but I still think it's a fun look.
Close-Ups:
Next, we have the Beauty Big Bang 04 Stamping Plate (SKU: J3141TM-4A). It has some ghosts, spiders and skull images.
The middle spider image has some stripes, so I decided to go with that image and do some decals. I stamped the image onto my mat, and I colored in the stripes with some pastel Halloween colors. I put on a white base polish so my colors would pop, and I applied my decals when they were dry. I'm still pretty bad at applying my own decals, so please be nice. Lol. I can't tell you how pleased I was with the end look. They look pretty cool, don't you think?
Close-Ups:
Next, we finally have a holiday plate. The Beauty Big Bang 05 Stamping Plate (SKU: J3141TM-5A) has some Christmas sweater print images.
At first, I wanted to use the go-to Christmas patterns, but I was sure that everyone would use those to show this plate off. So, that compelled me to use the top right image instead. I really liked that woven look, and it looked even more amazing on the nail. I know it's a very simple look, but I think that's why I fell in love with it even more. This design definitely reminded me of a cozy sweater, just perfect for the holidays.
Close-Ups:
Last but not least, we have the Beauty Big Bang 06 StampingPlate (SKU: J3141TM-6A). This plate features a happy Santa, snowflakes, snowmen and candy canes.
I just knew I had to use the candy cane image, as well as the Santa. So, I picked up the images, and did some reverse stamping. I decided to make some green candy canes, and some traditional red ones of course. For Santa, I didn't have a flesh color, so I mixed a tan polish with some white. I think it came out ok, and doesn't Santa look so happy?
Close-Ups:
So, my thoughts on this stamping plate set? I absolutely love all the different images on the plates, and you can definitely get some very fun and festive looks with these. The images picked up beautifully as well.
Well I hope you guys enjoyed the review and all the manis, I had tons of fun coming up with them. If you plan to purchase from Beauty Big Bang, make sure to use my code ANNY for 10% off your order.
I'm sorry if this post was too Halloween-y, but I mean, can you ever have too much? Lol. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for all the holiday manis to come. I hope to share many more Christmas nail art with you soon.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by. Until next time.
