GOGOONLY Nail Art Soft Squishy Silicone XL Jelly Stamper and Scraper Set - Stamping Tools - Blue-BH000588

OK - I was really looking forward to getting this stamper but I have to admit it took me a bit to find a way to get it working with good results. First off the stamper I got was sky blue and not the turquoise I expected based on the photo. The Amazon description does say the color is sky blue, so that's really what you'll get - just in case you wanted to know.Now I'm fairly new to nail stamping and I've not had any issues in using the other 5 stampers in my collection. This translucent soft squishy is a bit on the sticky side and I had some issues in getting the best results while using it. The "cup" the stamper head fits into is slippery, so I added some "traction" by adding a bit of Velcro "loop" tape around the base. Next the stamping head keeps wanting to sink down into the cup as I use it, so that the profile of my assembled stamper is only half the height of what is shown in the Amazon photo unless I keep pulling it out and re-setting it in the holder.Trying to "prime" this head was a bit tricky since no instructions were included. I had to try a variety of priming techniques to get the stamper to pick up a full image and then letting go of same image so it would transfer completely off the stamper. Some of the techniques I used had me wondering if I was making it worse rather than better. I did so many things that I don't want to list them since I don't know what the magic bullet was or if it was a combination of things.Next was figuring out the correct amount of nail polish, scraping angle/pressure to scrape, and stamping motion/preasure. I'm finally getting good results by lightly rolling the stamper over the prepped image and then quickly pressing my nail into the stamper head. I only use a lint roll tape to clean this stamper head, yet from time to time I can feel the surface of the stamper getting "stickier" and when this happens, the stamped image does not want to transfer off the head cleanly and intact. To resolve this I rub the stamper head in my hands till it reduces how stick it seems. Not sure why this seems to help but it's working for me so I'm going with it.I like the way this stamp head feels pressed to my nails. I also like the larger size of the stamping head. It is taking a bit of trial and error to find how to best make this stamper work well for me, but in the end I hope this will a favorite since it feels so good to stamp into. I'm glad this was not my first stamper, since I probably would have become frustrated and given up on stamping. I suggest starting to stamp with a more basic stamper so that you get comfortable with nail stamping and then giving this translucent XL squishy a try.Update 01/24/16 - I put this stamper to the side for 1-2 weeks and then gave it another go. I now LOVE this stamper and update my rating from a 4 star to a 4.5 stars (would give it a 5 if the holder were a better design). Not sure what changed in the time it sat off to the side "resting" but It's now the stamper of my dreams. I'm still not crazy about the "cup" so I've put the stamper head into the ridged cap that came off a 3oz spray can of WD-40 I had around the house. This is working quite well for me and I get great results both rolling the stamper over an image or pressing straight into the image. Wish it worked this well straight out of the package but am glad in the end it's working as beautifully as I had hoped.

The tiny little credit-card-type scraper doesn't work very well for me. It's too flexible. Other scrapers work better, even a larger one of the same material. But the stamper itself works great. It does need priming when you first get it – wipe it gently with one of those white Magic Erasers, or with acetone, to create a tiny bit of a texture on the surface. after you pick up the design, you can either roll it across your nail, or press your nail into the stamper – I find I have more control if I roll it, but your mileage may vary. It's top-heavy, so it's always falling over, but that's not a big deal, and the marshmallow squishy part is replaceable.

This stamper took a bit of practice but I got it down! If you have rounded nails like me, this is perfect. I was able to just line it up and press my whole nail into the squishy stamper and it really got into the side groove of my nails. I can always clean up later but at least I don't have the issue I had with other stampers where the side of the design did not get onto my nail because of the curve of my nail. My only issue is that the nail polish tended to dry quicker on this stamper than my other stampers so you have to work fast!

...this guys works. I think I still need more practice and possibly stamping polish too. BUT so far so good. ONE major con is that little marshmallow pad recedes into the little mettle holder when stamaping/pressing onto nail even with gental pressure 2nd or 3rd nail and you have to reset the pad....hard to do with wet nails. The metal cup/holder is empty/hallow so I plan to fill it with cotton next I use it so the pad gets some backing and resistance. Other then that, really sturdy and good quality. I am happy with. Could stand to be a buck or so cheaper IMHO. However, I would still recommend using this stamper.

I haven't been able to use the product yet but it is super cute. The scraper is a small card- kind of like those key chain cards that you can get for Walgreens/cvs that attach to your key chain. But you don't need a very large one- especially since the plates o got were very small. The stamper is a super soft silicone that easily forms around your nails.

It has taken some trial and error, but I got it to work. I love how large it is. It's really all about the polish, you need good polish in order for it to pick up. Keep trying, don't give up. And I love the scraper. I'd rather not scratch up my plates with a metal scraper.

I usually don't post product reviews, but in this case I wanted to put a couple tips to using this contraption. Right out of the box it was awful - so I washed the gel pad with soap and water after taking a magic eraser to it. Tried again using soft pressure and a rolling motion to pick up the polish on the plate and VOILA, perfect transfer image! I was so dissatisfied the first try, but after some quick and simple prepping, I'm very pleased with it now!

This is a great stamper. It is a bit firmer than Wistonias similar stamper. I did not need to prime this. It worked right out the box for me. It picks up designs very well and the scraper is my favorite. I have a lot of stampers and scrapers and I must say these rank near the top. It comes in a little box that you can keep it in for storage.

For the price I expected more. I'm still trying to get it to work as well as what the videos depict. With each attempt of the various methods of priming it has improved but still not to a usable level.Waste of $$ - the scraper is okay but the stamper itself continues to disappoint. The squishy won't stay in the holder either. It's likely to hit the garbage bin today. I just got my other ones and they work!!

It works perfect but the only downfall is you can't see through it to place the design on straight

Would have preferred a larger size.

Love it and works great :)
