Review: Born Pretty Store - Dual Ended Stamper Sponge*

This is a double ended 'pencil' stamper and sponge from Born Pretty Store. It comes in this colour which is silver as well as a gold colour. It comes packaged in a clear protective tube.

One end is a squishy stamper, which is 1.1cm across, which makes it an ideal pencil stamper sized. The stamping head is very squishy.

The other end is a removable sponge, which is 1.7cm across. You could use this for gradients as well as using for packing on a glitter polish.

I used the stamping end of this pencil for more pinpointed image placing.

And these are the nails I did with it;

The other end, the sponge I used to create a blue gradient look.

Finished gradient is here;

I couldn't just leave the gradient as is so I put a glitter topper over it;

As the sponge is removable from the pencil it is reusable. To clean the head I dipped it in acetone and pressed it on to a tissue a couple of times to remove the polish. The head did stain a little from the blue polish but that doesn't affect future use.

I have a discount code here if you'd like to use it.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster Holiday Collection H25 (BMH25)

Back to the Bundle Monster 'Holiday Collection' which consists of 25 different plates.

BM H25 is July 4th themed. I don't live in America and so don't celebrate the occasion. However the designs are mostly versatile.

This stamping plate is backed with branded backing, so it doesn't have sharp edges, each plate has six images on them. This particular plate has three full nail images and three smaller images.

All of the images stamped across really well, the finer details on the eagle and the fireworks showed up great. If I had longer nails though some of the images would be too short to fit. Of them all I think the stars or the fireworks are something I would use more often as they isn't July 4th specific.

Here are some sets of nails I did using this plate:

Review: Born Pretty Store - Double Head Clear Jelly Silicone Stamper*

This is a double ended clear jelly stamper. It comes in a resealable baggie along with a plastic scraper.

It comes with two different sized ends and are capped too which is great for stopping lint sticking to the stamping head. It is around 6cm in length and one head is around 1.9cm and the larger head is 2.4cm.

The stamper is a jelly type one which makes picking up images easier as well as getting the images to get on to nails with a strong C curve.

 

It is clear the body of the stamper but the ends aren't hollow. You can still mostly see through it to align your image.

Using the stamper was easy, having a smaller end was useful for targeted stamping and the larger end for covering my entire nail.

Overall this is a good jelly stamper, you can see through it to a certain degree and so can stamp on the nail in the right spot. The stamping head is squishy enough to get the image on the nail curve.

Here are some nails I have done using this stamper;
