Creative Shop 22 - Swatches and Review
Hi Lovelies,
Hope you are all well.
The lovely Annette from Rainbow Connection sent me some plates to swatch recently and I was very excited when I received them as I haven't tried the Creative Shop plates yet so I was keen to do a thorough swatch and review.
The plates each have 14 good sized images and they are big enough for my longer nails which is always a bonus (I have just filed my nails a bit shorter though) Some of the images had very thin intricate lines which can sometimes be trickier to pick up so I was keen to see how these did.
The plate I'm showing you today is 22 which has some beautiful floral images - its a very feminine plate in my opinion and I really like it. I also found when I took the clear film off the images were well etched.
I decided to 1st test the plate with various polishes and stampers to see if there were any combinations didn't work.
I tested with the following polishes -
And these Stampers
I used my Messy Mansion firm scraper and for each swatch I did a quick, medium touch scrape
*These swatches show the 1st attempt with each stamper and polish and with each I used a gentle rolling motion*
Teddy - As you can see I had no issues with any of these combinations. The pick up was perfect everytime.
Carina - Again each pick up was perfect so these combinations all worked.
B a Venus - Another 3 out of 3, no issues at all with these combinations.
Oh look its Wine Thirty - Full house for swatches, perfect everytime!
So my initial thought on this plate - FANTASTIC! Why haven't I tried this brand before? This plate worked perfectly with all my polish/stamper combinations. I worked at my usual pace and honestly couldn't find a single fault, the image pick up were crisp and complete and exactly what you want.
As I originally said the plate had some gorgeous images so here they all are swatched on my nails. I used my Fab ur Nails jumbo stamper and HTB oh look its wine thirty for these swatches and on my nails is a dusky rose gel polish.
So those are my swatches. I was going to try and choose a favourite image or 2 but it is so difficult - I honestly like all of them and every single image picked up perfectly and transferred beautifully - I honestly can't find a single thing I don't like about this plate.
All of the polishes/stampers used were from Rainbow Connection
and the other essentials I use when stamping are -
I hope you have enjoyed this post and found it helpful? I am enjoying these stamping posts so there will be more coming soon!
