Hey there! Some of your might have heard that there's a new nail art kid on the block. Beauty Bigbang is an overseas company with VERY affordable nail art products. They approached me awhile back to see if I wanted to try any of them out. I received a couple Chameleon Flakes, their version of Aurora Unicorn powder and three holographic/multichrome Peacock Powders. All of them worked easily and I really like the effects they produce. They were also nice enough to supply a coupon code (CLAWS10) to save 10% on all your orders. Keep reading to see all the details and for the links to the products.

Item J2443-4A: These color-shifting flakies shift from red to orange to gold to green. It's really one of my favourite multichrome spectrums. To get the full color effect, I applied these over a black base almost to opacity. The flakies in this jar were quite tiny but I can't say if the same would be said of all of the individual jars of this item.
Item J2443-5A: Originally I had requested item 7A which should have a pink-purple look. While this jar did say 7A, this is definitely not the item advertised on their site. I believe it looks more like 5A. These flakies are much larger than the other item I received. Personally I prefer the slightly larger flakies for a more dramatic effect. These appear mainly green but shift from blue to orange and gold. I've tried a lot of flakies but this is not a color combination I've seen before which is exciting.

Item 2831: To use their Aurora Unicorn powder, I used a light purple gel base with no wipe top coat. As with other powders of these sort, I started applying with an eyeshadow applicator and buffed it in with a silicone tool. It gives a really iridescent look with a green shimmer. It's not as speckled as some others look but it also doesn't provide the metallic sheen that others do. I do like the unicorn rainbow effect I see here.

Item J2952-7A: I might be wrong but I believe these Peacock Powders are multi chrome powders with a bit of holo in them. I applied all of these over a black base with no wipe gel top coat. 7A is an olive green with a golden shift. Above you can see the holo effect (in direct light) while in regular light you see more of the multichrome effect.
Item J2952-6A: 6A has a green-purple shift. It's more holographic than the others but also seems to be less pigmented over a black base. Maybe this would be good over a base of a similar color as the pigment.
Item J2952-12A: 12A is my favourite of the Peacock Powders I got to try. It has a brown-bronze-gold-green look. This color spectrum always looks good in fall but I really do like it year round.
In conclusion, if you're not happy with your correct supplier of affordable nail art products, Beauty Bigbang seems to be a great alternative. Shipping to Canada seemed to take approximately 5 weeks. I can't speak to their average but I know that that's certainly faster than some of the other sites I've ordered from. I also really like that I can choose my currency so I don't have to guess what my total will be after conversion. And don't forget to use CLAWS10 to save yourself some of your hard-earned dollars!
