Review: Born Pretty Store - Dual Ended Stamper Sponge*

This is a double ended 'pencil' stamper and sponge from Born Pretty Store. It comes in this colour which is silver as well as a gold colour. It comes packaged in a clear protective tube.

One end is a squishy stamper, which is 1.1cm across, which makes it an ideal pencil stamper sized. The stamping head is very squishy.

The other end is a removable sponge, which is 1.7cm across. You could use this for gradients as well as using for packing on a glitter polish.

I used the stamping end of this pencil for more pinpointed image placing.

And these are the nails I did with it;

The other end, the sponge I used to create a blue gradient look.

Finished gradient is here;

I couldn't just leave the gradient as is so I put a glitter topper over it;

As the sponge is removable from the pencil it is reusable. To clean the head I dipped it in acetone and pressed it on to a tissue a couple of times to remove the polish. The head did stain a little from the blue polish but that doesn't affect future use.

I have a discount code here if you'd like to use it.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas: Reciprocal Gradient

I've never done a reciprocal gradient before and while I think it worked, next time I wouldn't use a peel off base coat as the liquid latex and the striping tape kept trying to pull away the polish.
