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.

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.

Review-Stamping-Plate-Bundle-Monster-Holiday-Collection-H23-BMH23

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:
