Temix stamping polish review



Hello everyone!

I am finally back to posting. I was unable to take photos and work with small details for a while because of a problem with my eyes, that still didn't go away. So if there's any blurr in my next photos is unintentional and please excuse it, but I'm still adjusting.

I have a very cute polish to review today. I was very excited to try it out since it was sitting on my nail art desk for couple weeks. I was very curious about the Temix stamping polishes, because my first and only special stamping polishes were from the born pretty store collection. This one is also from www.bornprettystore.com but not made by them.



You can find it >here<  for $4.00 on regular price, but I caught it on a discount of like 50% off. It is on discount even now so you can find it reduced pretty often. The polish comes in a bottle of 6ml, pretty small, but if you only use it at stamping it's going to last a long time.

The formula of it was pretty thin, but opaque. I thought it wasn't going to be a lot different from the BPS polishes, but I was pleasantly surprised when after I tried it on a white sheet of paper the design came out perfect. there were absolutely no spots where the polish wasn't picked up, and I used my bad stamper.


The difference between the other set of stamping polishes that I own and this polish, is that the Temix polish is not sheer at all. The other white stamping polish i used for this design is a little sheer, giving the outlines a little pink tint from letting a little of the base color go through.

Be careful though, the formula takes a little longer to dry compared to my other stamping polish. Let it sit 10 minutes before applying top coat, because it has a tendency to smear if even slightly wet.

I am definately planning on getting more colors. The color I used here it's nr 2, and they have 12 colors you can chose from.

For this particular design I used

  • WNW wild shine "french white creme" - base color
  • pink holo polish from Anchor&Heart laquer- base color
  • Salon perfect- "spirit fingers"- glitter topper
  • plate BP-73 for the rose pattern ($2.99 from BPS)
  • 1.5mm rhinestones


I hope you like it and if you try it you can tell me about your experience with the Temix stamping polish. For any of the products mentioned from BPS you can use the code below for 10% discount and free shipping.

Purple and gold lace nail art



Hello everyone!

Wish everyone a great coming weekend. What's better than start the weekend than a glam manicure.

I received this pretty box of goodies. Took me some time to decide on what I want to use first from the box and I'll definately have to post more manis with everything in there.

The box is from bornprettystore.com . You can find it >here< for $7.73 normal price but right now it's discounted.



It has 12 compartiments all with different nail art decorations. The ammount varies depending on the size of the decorations. There are hoops, crystals, beads, marble looking decorations, studs. they're all very pretty.

The ones I decided to use today are the ones from compartiment 10, that contains 5-6 pieces of round multifaceted rhinestones. They're about 4mm diameter and super sparkly.



For today's manicure I opted for a mix of bling and lace, using a base of purple glitter a shimmery gold polish for my accent nails. The polishes I used are:


Even though The gold polish I used is actually for stamping, I loved the way it became opaque in just one coat so I used that instead of a glitter gold polish.



I coated my nails with one layer of Kleancolor pastel purple to give more opacity to the glitter. I then painted 1 layer of purple glitter by Spoiled. The polish is gorgeous with gold reflexes that match the gold accent nail so pretty.



I stamped all my nails but my accent nails, with a floral lace pattern from BP-02 that you can find >here< for $2.99.

On my accent nails I stampped another pattern from the same plate, in the center of the nail.



The big crystals from the box were placed on the middle of the lace pattern on the accent nails and I added 1.5mm rhinestones that you can find >here<. I set all of them in regular top coat.

Overall this manicure is super easy to make. It doesn't take long at all, especially if you already have some experience with stamping. It took me around 2 minutes to stamp all my nails, and few more minutes to set the rhinestones.



It's a very effective nail art  in royal colors. I absolutely love it. The big rhinestones can be reused as long as you don't put any top coat over it. The big flat surface will be enough to make it stay.

I hope you like it and if you want the box of goodies or any other product I used from BPS you can use the code below for 10% discount and free shipping at check out.
