Pink Mosaic + BPS Double Sided Stamper Review

Hi Little Nailiens!
Doesn't say the title everything? Today it's all about a pink mosaic and a double sided bornprettystore.com stampers... But first let us start with the nail art...

The base color is 84 "Next Stop: Satin Tropez" I have sponged it on because it's very sheer and the flakes should stand out better. Stamping polish is Ya Qin An in #15. It' s a vibrant bright pink, strongly pigmented and smells like bubble gum!? This confused me a bit. None of my other stamping polishes has a smell like this. The smell is really nice and not too strong but when you top coat it, it's of course not noticeable anymore. Another thing I noticed was that the polish was less neon-ish after top coating, but not dramatically. After testing it on a swatch stick I realized that the dulling in color will not happen if you let it dry very well before sealing it.
All my stampers had no problem picking up the polish, even if they were unprimed.
The polish has a nice brush so it can also be applied as a solid color. Drying time is in a good range.
Before I forget it the stamping plate is BP-L027. I looove these nails and wore these way to long... like over a week! Which I normally never do.

Now that I talked enough about the polish and stuff, I finally review the stamper! Yeah!
This it! The double sided stamper! It's 9,5 cm long with the heads in and 8 cm the holder alone. The holder lays nice and comfy in the hand and has a good grip because of the holes on it sides.
The stamper heads are solid so they have no hole on their backs. They are medium squishy I would say. Right in the middle of the super soft red jumbo stamper and the cheap tiny pink stamper. I like this squishy-ness a lot because it's not too hard to hurt your finger while bending your nails over and not too wobbly that it ruins the image. The heads reach each and every bit of my nails!
The smaller one has a diameter of 2,3 cm ad the bigger one has a diameter of 2,7 cm.

On this photo both heads are unprimed. They pick the images up pretty good the small one nearly perfect and on the big one the polish contracted because of its smooth shiny surface so the image doesn't look good anymore.Also some pieces are missing. Both picked it up very thick.

The big head and the red jumbo head compared: After priming the bigger one picks up perfect and smooth; the red jumbo head has a uneven surface and picks up thin.
Both heads, primed and a pink head: Both heads pick up even better after priming, still thick but clearer. The pink one pick also up nicely but not as clear and I think it's way too hard for my nails.


Here are all the stamps compared and I added a clear stamper to it, because the pink stamper is just to hard to use!
Stampers from left to right: double sided (big head; primed), clear, giant  red and double sided (small head, unprimed)
Index finger: crisp and thick
Middle finger: crispest and thickest. This one is my favorite!
Ring finger: not clear and thin
Little finger: smeared and very thick. The unprimed picked up so thick that it tend to smear when applying top coat. It simply doesn't dry as fast as the other ones.

Hope this review was helpful for you (:
