Clear Jelly Stamper Review/Demo

Hey Y'all!  Man what a day! I'm so tired and blah today! I kinda have been all week! I started workin out more and watchin Doctor Who, and I think it's havin crazy side effects on my sleep! I've been havin horrible dreams and wakin up still slightly in a dream state. I hope it goes away soon! Anyways today I have a review/demo of the new clear jelly stamper from Born Pretty Store. 

This is a completely clear squishy stamper in a plastic holder. The stamper head itself is squishy but definitely not as squishy as the creative shop stamper. It's squishy enough though. I was thinking it would be too hard because of other clear stampers I have been seein, but it's actually ok. It's also not as sticky feelin as the creative shop. I love the stamper so far, but the scraper is not good at all. I tried it several times and it just didn't work for me, so I'll keep usin my creative shop scraper with it. This stamper didn't need priming either. I really like this stamper also because it's still big enough to cover my nails. It's not as big as the creative shop stamper but it's still big enough to fit my length of nails so far. 

Let's get into the demo: 

I started with a gold sparkly base of OPI "Oy Another Polish Joke!"

This is the plate I'll be usin from the born pretty store as well.

For this I'm usin my creative shop scraper instead of the clear jelly one. The purple one is too thick and not flexible. 

I start by placin black polish on the image. I used Salon Perfect "Oil Slick."

Then I scrape the polish towards me with the scraper.

I pick up the image with the stamper in a sort of rollin motion. It works better than just stampin straight down on it. 

There's the image on the stamper. 

Then I line it up over my nail. This is the cool part! Because it's clear you can see your nail under the stamper and it really helps to perfect placement! It was a little difficult to do on camera but the rest of my nails were so easy and quick. Be sure to clean your stamper with a piece of tape and not acetone!

Use a small brush and some acetone to cleanup any polish you might have gotten on the skin. 

Finish everythin off with your favorite top coat! I use Salon Perfect! 

And that's it!

I hope y'all enjoyed this! I definitely recommend gettin this stamper! It's about $3 and free shippin! Granted it does take a few weeks to get to you, but it's definitely worth it!

Born Pretty Review: Lace Stickers

Hey Y'all!

Another Born Pretty Store review for ya! I had quite a few products this time so I wanted to get right through em!

Today we have some lace nail stickers. 

I was too in love with Orly Color Blast "Enchanted Rose" that I decided to use it as my base again! I like the look of the black with the pink. 

Here's the Review/Demo:

Here is what the stickers look like. Just a small sheet. 

Here's the link to purchase:

I used the skinny strips first and I cut them down to fit my nails. 

I just placed the sticker right onto my nail and pressed it down. These are super sticky so make sure you place them correctly because they don't come back up without messing up your base. 

I used scissors to cut the ends of the stickers off 

and curled them under my nails.

Then I used the bigger strips on my middle nails and thumbs. I place it on the sticker sheet like this so I don't touch the sticky side too much before placin it on my nail.

I placed it on my nail like this usin the sticker sheet as my guide

and cut it straight across to separate the strip.

Then cut the tips off like the rest of the nails

It was a little difficult to do this but I used my small brush and acetone to remove the excess sticker at the cuticle. I had to brush it quite roughly to get it come off. 

Then finished it all off with my top coat. I use Salon Perfect.

That's what it looks like up close. It took 3 coats of top coat before it would fully lay down and stay on my nail. 

And that's it!

Here's the video:

So overall I liked the look of these but again they were a pain to use. The small strips were much easier to use but they all still crinkled up on the sides. The tips never fully laid down, I had a couple nails peel up the next day. I really do like the look but they just aren't practical enough for me.
