Product provided for honest review.

Clear jelly stampers (CJS) are serious game changers for nail artists. Long gone are the days of hopefully applying stamps straight or in the right place only to find out I missed the entire nail. Now that the popular squishy stampers are clear I can see exactly what I’m doing.

Ever since CJS’ hit the market I wanted to purchase one. However, just as quickly, reviews, both good and bad also saturated the Internet. I could not justify that amount of money on something I basically already owned if it was just going to fall apart within a few uses. So, when I saw that Born Pretty Store had their own version I jumped at the chance to try it.

 

This stamper retails for $2.99 at the Born Pretty Store website and comes with a hard pink scraper which I personally never use since I prefer my more flexible card ones.

 

I think my favorite part about this stamper is I can transfer the stamp straight onto the nail. The stamper head is squishy I do not have to roll it from side to side or up and down. This eliminates any stretching of the image.

 

I did notice that this stamper is more temperamental than most. All squishy stampers are sensitive but this CJS is definitely more so. I have to make sure I use it on a completely flat surface or the image does not transfer from the stamping plate.

 

I tried several polishes (metallics, cremes, and stamping polishes) and noticed some key differences. This stamper works well with thin, smooth colors but has trouble with glitter and shimmers.

When I used Mundo de Unas stamping polishes they left a melted, indented pattern on the stamper head. They didn’t destroy the integrity of the stamper and the stamper returned to its normal shape but I should probably keep an eye on it.

 

As of now, I have not experienced any deterioration (I use medical tape to clean and prime the stamper) but am very careful to keep acetone away from it.

I reach for this more than any other stamper and it has quickly become my favorite!
