Allo polish Pals!
How are you doing
today? What awesome things have you been getting up to this weekend?
Today I have a product
to show you that seems to have so much hype surrounding it. The
mighty clear jelly stamper. Now as you guys are well aware...
Ithi don't stamp. I've tried many ways, many
stampers, many scrapers..many a time. It was just something that didn't work out
well for me (possibly due to lack of practice but I personally found
my previous attempts just too frustrating)
Well.. Today I have the
'Clear/marshmallow silicone stamping set' from The Born Pretty Store
to share with you... Am I impressed? You'll see.
I am absolutely in love with this stamper. It has
a large clear stamping surface made from silicone, measuring
approximately 2.8cm in size. Now one of my past peeves with stamping has
always been not feeling like I could cover the entire length/width of
my nail but this stamper easily takes care of that, I'm still amazed
to see an entire pattern on my thumb nail – the one I struggled
with most.
I'm 'take it or leave' it with the scraper but I feel that is just a personal preference, I prefer to use thin plastic cards such as old library cards etc.

Of course one of the most awesome highlights about
this stamper is that it is entirely clear. You've got that wonderful
squisher clear stamper and the other end is hollow so you are
completely able to look through and see your pattern; You can imagine
how much easier it makes it to be able to see where you are looking
to put your pattern onto your nails. Something else I
noticed is that is seems to magnify. Take a look at it in my short clip, posted
above the jump if you didn't already. Its pretty cool
and very, very handy.
I am incredibly happy with this stamper,
I feel like its been a total game changer for me. Now I can join in
with all the stamping fun! This manicure began with two coats of Barry M's 'White', I then took my red, orange and pink acrylics and created a gradient over three nails. On the remaining nails I created a simple water colour look. I then used my Barry M white to stamp using the BPL-025 plate which I won from Bubica's contest a while ago (Thank you, I LOVE it! I had been dying to use it but was too scared of stamping!!)
What do you think of my stamping manicure? Do you like to stamp, what sort of stamper do you use?
Have a wonderful day!
Love
Ithi
Yaaaayyyy for the first stamped manicure!
ReplyDeleteLove it >:D<
Thank you so much, Andreea! There will be more stamping! xx
DeleteI like your stamping a lot! I admit I'm not a fan of this stamper. I have it but the rubber is too hard and I prefer the sticky ones. So it all depends on a person :) Also the rubber doesn't collect all patterns well in my case. Maybe I got a different one? It looks the same but doesn't come from BPS.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right, A.notcopyacat, I always say different things work for different people. Maybe it is not the same stamper as this one is seeeeriously soft and squishy! Thank you :) xx
DeleteThe clear stamper would be really helpful :D I love the base. it gorgeous. love the color :D
ReplyDeleteYour stamping looks really good, but those other nails... wow!! Any chance on an explanation for the freehand-nail art-challenged among your readers (meaning moi)? *tries to turn on puppy eyes for more begging power*
ReplyDeleteamazing nail design dear Ithi. My favourite stamper is from Moyou Nails :) I have this one from BPS as well but I haven't tried yet
ReplyDeletei don;t stamp either but this is making me want to. Your stamping looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteWow...These is truly incredible! It sounds a perfect stamper for very unenthusiastic stamping lover like me! ^_^
