Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 314 (BM314)

This stamping plate is from the third Bundle Monster set, from 2012. It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. This is useful, without it it is easy to slice open your fingers and palms which I have been known to do accidentally in the past with other stamping plates.

On this stamping plate there are three full nail images, and three single images. All of these stamped well, the only one I struggled with was the floral image. Below are some nails I did using this plate:

Review: XXL Squishy Stamper

I like to stamp my nails, its relatively easy and can look really effective. When my nails are short they are easy to stamp, but when they get longer it is more difficult and I end up missing the top corners. My nails have quite a strong C curve. This makes stamping more difficult, also I press down quite hard when I stamp which can be damaging to my natural nail.

So this is where the XL Squishy stamper comes in, it is larger than a normal stamper and it is very squishy which means it lets the image easily go around the C curve of my nails and it is gentle enough to stamp the length of my nails without breaking them.

When I first got my squishy XL stamper I thought it was a waste of money as I couldn't get it to pick up any images. I found that swiping some pure acetone over it removed the layer of substance which was causing me problems, other than this one time I don't recommend using acetone on it as it will degrade the surface. The stickiness of the stamper also means it likes to attract lint stamping this on a lint roller cleans it.

The squishy stamper end constantly falls out of the plastic holder, I jammed it in there with a tissue and that also really helped it to stay in and work properly.

  

You can stretch images to fit longer nails with this stamper too.

These nails are the result of the first time working with the stamper once it is cleaned with the acetone;

Not my best stamping but I am sure I can improve.
