My Review
I found this stamper to be easy to use overall. It picked up the images well but not perfect. I like that it has a squishy feel to it so it makes stamping on the nails easy. I tended to only use the white stamper side since I thought the other side was a bit too small to use for me. The only issue I found was that the white side of the stamper tends to want to come off the black holder its in. The scrapers in this set are my favorite. I like that there plastic but still able to provide a good scrape without damaging the stamping plates your using. It nice that it comes in two sizes too.
Here's examples using Born Pretty Store nail stamping plates QA66 and QA62 on how well it stamps. I also tried it out with my Bundle Monster stamping plate BM321 to see if it there was any noticeable differences too. I stamped using American Apparel Hassid. As you can see, it picked up the images pretty well but there are noticeable bald spots here and there.
Here's a tip if your stamper isn't picking up anything is to file it down with a nail file. I don't know how but filing it will help the stamper to pick up an image better. I wasn't able to pick up some images so I filed it with a regular nail file and it seemed to work great afterwards.
Final Thoughts
This Born Pretty Store stamper and scraper set cost $4.46 which is a good deal if your just starting out with stamping and want something affordable. It gets the job done but you do have to work with it to get a good image stamped on the nails. You can also use coupon code YCL91 for 10% off your entire order. Have you tried this stamper and scarper set?

ReplyDeleteYour welcome! Hope it helped! :)
DeleteI didn't know that born pretty had a Xl stamper too!
ReplyDeleteGood review!
Hugs,

Its a pretty new item on their site. Thanks!
DeleteI think this stamper is available from several sites. I got it and I love it! Can't remember where I got it though… :/
ReplyDeleteYep, I've seen it from several sites too. Great to hear your liking it as well.
DeleteI have that one and it's allright but I'm not perfectly happy either. Which one is your favourite?
ReplyDeleteYeah but for the price, I still think it works well enough. You just have to work with it a bit :) Do you mean what's my favorite stamper? Don't have a preference but I like whatever works well, lol.
DeleteI just got an identical one from MoYou, but I paid a lot more than $4.46 for it - grrr!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I found the white stamper bit keeps falling out of the handle. And it doesn't always pick up the pattern perfectly - but it was much better once I'd roughed it up a bit with an emery board. I need to use mine a few more times before I decide if it is better than my old Konad one - at the moment I don't think it stamps so clearly as the Konad but I like the fact that it's bigger - especially when I use it with the MoYou larger image plates - it makes a full nail design possible on longer nails
That's too bad that you got it for a higher price. I hate when that happens.
DeleteYeah, its annoying isn't it? I've heard and seen that you can hot glue gun the stamper into the holder so it doesn't fall out but I'm not sure if I want to try it out. I also have the Konad one and I'm not sure which one I like better. The both seem to work well equally to me. Agree that its great to use for a bigger stamping image too.
Thanks for the review! I was thinking about getting this didn't know born pretty had it for cheaper! :)
ReplyDeleteYour welcome! Its a pretty new item in their store so I'm happy to hear that this review helped you :)
DeleteI've got the one that came with my Fingr's set and I like that one a lot. Thank you for the review! I know where too look if I need a new one.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that! I'm happy to know my review helped too! :)
DeleteThanks so much for that! I haven't tried stamping yet, but am doing research on the best stamper to get, so this is very helpful info to have.
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth! This one would definitely be great for a beginner like you if your not sure if you'll like stamping or not. Its affordable and gets the job done well enough :)
DeleteWow cool. Looks identical to my squishy moyou set. I never had to rough mine up though. Mine looks shiny and smooth but stamps well.
ReplyDeleteBut just like yours... mine pops out too!
Yep, I know a lot of sites sell these. Great to hear that you like the one you have too.
DeleteI have a similar squishy stamper, and I saw another blogger post a tutorial to make the stamp head stick. I can't remember whose it was, but the trick is to take the white head out, rough up the inside a bit with a file or something similar, and then apply a ring of hot glue all around the inside edge. When it cools a little, use your finger to smooth out any rough spots on the glue. Now, the diameter of the opening should be a little smaller. When the glue cools completely, put the stamping head back in - it won't come out until you want it to.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I think I seen or heard about that technique somewhere too. I might try it out but the stamper coming out of the holder isn't too much of a hassle for me.
DeleteI have the same one by NinjaPolish. Well, I wonder if it's the same because I've never had problems picking up the images fortunately. I've also used the glue trick and no more rubber head losing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know! I believe some are different from others. I've heard that some of these that are selling have more of a squishier head compared to others. I guess depending on where you get it, the quality is a little different.
DeleteI also got this stamper. I'm excited to use it. I hope the post office will deliver it soon. :( By the way, about filing the stamper. It's done to remove the protective covering of the silicone. Before buffing it, you can notice a shiny covering. It's supposed to be removed for the image to adhere well :)
ReplyDeleteHope you get it soon Breena! Thanks for letting me know. Had no idea so I'm happy to know how filing it affects it like that now :)
DeleteLovely looking nice mani dear
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI have only tried stamping once. Maybe if I had a better stamper I could do it. Thanks for your review :)
ReplyDeleteGive it a try if your up to it. This stamper is pretty good for the price so I think you'll probably get better results with it.
DeleteThis is a great review. I haven't tried stamping yet because I've been overwhelmed with choices of stampers and scrapers, so this is really helpful. :)

Thanks Yun! I hope you can give stamping a try in the future :)
Deleteuse a bead of clear acrylic to fix it in place. i've had this happening with a lot of stampers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diana for the tip!
DeleteI love this squishy stamper, just perfect for my curved nails.
ReplyDeleteI need to start stamping again.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I've been slacking on it too, lol.
