Born Pretty Store Dual-ended Gradient Stamper Sponge Head Pen Review

In this post, I will be reviewing the Dual-ended Gradient Stamper Sponge Head Pen from BornPrettyStore. I saw the pen stampers not too long ago and thought they looked very useful. This one looks even better with the sponge on the other end. Here is what it looks like:

 It comes in a plastic tube to store it in. 

 I love the little rhinestones inside the handle!

 The stamper head is glittery and SUPER squishy! I love the Born Pretty etching on it.

 And this sponge looks like the perfect sponge for gradients. It is much softer than the traditional makeup wedge sponges I use, and looks less porous.

I could not wait to try out that little stamper head. For my first design, I painted two coats of Sinful Colors Beet Goes On from the Vanessa Hudgens Festival collection on my nails, and topped it with a coat of Seche Vite. Here is what my nails look like so far:

Once that was dry, it was time to use the stamper! I chose an image from plate Harunouta-L045 (you can see my review on that plate here). I tried to pick the image up without doing anything to the stamper head first, but it wasn't picking up the finer lines. I wiped the stamper head down with a q-tip and a little bit of acetone, let it dry, and tried again. It looked great. I stamped my image using Mundo de Unas Pink. I sealed in my image with one thin coat of Rush High Speed Top Coat. Here is my final look:

For my next design, I painted two coats of OPI Alpine Snow on my nails. Next I sponged on OPI Mermaid's Tears and Sinful Colors Pink Smart randomly. Once I was happy with the opacity, I put a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust on for a little bit of sparkle. Then sealed it all in with Seche Vite. Here is my final look:

I really like the way this one turned out!

The sponge took a few minutes to get used to. Working with a round sponge was a lot different than the flat makeup sponges I am used to. But once I got the hang of it, I really enjoyed using this sponge.

Overall, the stamper and sponge are both awesome. I had no issues or complaints with either one. You can also get replacement sponge heads from Born Pretty Store here. I love the size of the stamper. I also really like how soft and squishy the stamper head is. I have a hard time using the firm stamper heads so if you are like me, you will love this one. The gradient sponge is very soft, easy to use, and is replaceable for a very affordable price! If you like stamping, gradients, or both, this is a great product for you. I love how it looks. It comes in 2 different colors (the color I showed you is AB. It also comes in a gold color). You can find this pen on the Born Pretty Store website here. They also have tons of other great nail art supplies. Don't forget to use my coupon code for 10% off any regular priced items.
