Hey y'all! Today on the blog I have a review of the Temix black stamping polish from bornprettystore to share with you. This is a pretty good black stamping polish in terms of quality but I do have a few reservations about it, so let's jump right in and I'll let you know all of my thoughts!
First impressions about this polish were that its consistency and formula were pretty standard for a stamping polish. I found the polish to be very thick and inky, which is to be expected from a creme stamping polish. I was slightly off put by the smell - the only other polishes I stamp with are either regular nail polish or M Polish stamping polishes, neither of which have a very strong smell in comparison. Temix has a smell more similar to Seche Vite or other polishes that are not 3 free. That being said, I do not know the ingredients of this polish nor is it listed on the sight. I did email my contact at BPS to see if she could find out but she was unsure and told me that they would update the website when possible to reflect the ingredients list.
As far as actual stamping goes, Temix kinda hit right in the middle for me - while definitely more opaque than nail polish, it didn't play nicely with my Creative Shop stamper, and I had to use a sticky marshmallow stamper in order to be able to pick up an image without patchiness. The polish worked wonderfully with my marshmallow stamper but considering not everyone owns multiple stamping heads, I can imagine that this polish might be frustrating for some to use.
The image transferred nicely to my nail - in this case I used it to make a decal. The other polishes didn't smear the black around when I was filling in my image, nor did my topcoat smear the black image either.
Overall - I didn't really have issues with this polish and do think it works well, but it bothers me that I don't know the ingredients, particularly in light of the nail communities recent issues in transparency with another brand (looking at you, Mentality!) and I don't like that I can't use my preferred stamper with it.

I always feel like black is the hardest to find a good stamping polish in.
ReplyDeleteGreat review! I think I will stick to M Polish. :0) Your base color here is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteMentality was my go-to black stamping polish but know I don't use it anymore so I have to find another. Since BPS are not clear about the ingredients I don't think this will be it.
ReplyDeleteI've recently discovered MoYou Black stamping polish. It is awesome. Highly pigmented. I'll he doing a review in it soon. Keep an eye out ;)

DeleteI use only Konad black or the Eat Sleep Polish empty sheets of canevas for black stamping, those are the best ever to stamp :)

ReplyDeleteI use bundle monster black stamping polish the most, its my current go to. Your mani is gorgeous and lovely review!
ReplyDeleteThis stamping polish was ok, I don't have a black so it works lol
ReplyDeleteGreat review. I got stamping polish from BPS last year and it didn't perform at all. I'm glad to see they improved their product but it's unlikely I'll be ordering given the 5-free options that are now available.
ReplyDeleteLove the review. It would be awesome if it did work with all stampers!
