Sweater Weather - BeautyBigBang05 Winter Tartan Nail stamping plate J3141TM-5A

In addition to the fancy polish holder I reviewed last time, we also received some stamping plates for review from BeautyBigBang.

They arrived beautifully packaged in a protective cardboard sleeve, which was in a plastic resealable bag for added protection.

I really love the colourful designs on these sleeves. In addition to the front design, the back has a hand schematic to show you the sequence of steps needed for stamping. Definitely a handy guide for beginners to stamping!

The one I'm reviewing today is BeautyBigBang05 - a Christmas/winter themed plate. You can find this as item J3141TM-5A Winter Tartan Nail Stamping Plate. As usual, the plate comes with a protective blue film to prevent scratches. Just peel that off before use and you have a fresh shiny plate to play with.

Here's a nice clear view of the different patterns once the blue protective film is removed. Up the top left we have what I like to think of as a Christmas sweater pattern with snowflakes and christmas trees. The next one along is similar, but now featuring sleighs and a cosy house design in addition. The top right is a sweater knit patttern, followed by a tartan/plaid design on the bottom left. The middle is a tesselated snowflake pattern, while the bottom right is another sweater design with tiny hearts and snowflakes. Phew!

When I first saw the designs, I was a bit unsure, because the details were so fine! But check out these stamp tests I did on paper. I wasn't particularly careful, just did my stamping as normal, but I had absolutely no problem at all with any of the designs. The hard part is choosing which to use!

Here's the biggest test - those tiny tiny hearts in the bottom right pattern. See how well they picked up, and how even the stamping is. I am impressed!

Overall, I'm really happy with this plate and can't wait to show you the designs on a manicure, so stay tuned for that! You can find this plate here, and as usual, you can use our 10% off code above when shopping at BeautyBigBang. =)
