Creative Shop Stamper Review


Hi friends! Today I have a review of the stamper from Creative Shop, a Ukraine based online shop. I had seen a lot of people starting to use this stamper over the last couple months and when Ksenija of Creative Shop asked me if I wanted to review the stamper I jumped at the opportunity. The stamper is made out of a unique material unlike any of the other stampers I own, has a large silver holder with a unique shape, and did I mention it's huge! Take a look at the size compared to the stamper I currently use from EBay. It also came with a card containing the shop info and doubles as a scraper.


As you can see the Creative Shop stamper on the right is made of a semitransparent soft silicone. It's not as squishy as a "squishy stamper," but still conforms to the nail. It's hard to describe but basically when I press my finger into the center of my regular stamper, the stamper "spills over" the sides as it's so soft. If I do that with the Creative Shop stamper, my finger still goes deep into the stamper, but it doesn't "spill over" the sides if that makes sense. 


When I first used the stamper for this manicure, I noticed that there were "hairs" on the edges of the stamped images which I have never encountered before. You can see them if you look up close, but no one is going to notice them since they're so tiny.



I also used the stamper for another manicure. I decided to do a mani inspired by Deborah of Love Varnish. I did this Gelibility manicure using China Glaze Lotus Begin and stamped using MoYou London Pro 06 in Mundo de Unas White and A-England Crown of Thistles. I didn't get any of the "hairs" with this second manicure.



All of the thin lines transferred very well, but I will note that compared to my other stamper, the lines are a little finer. If I were to compare it to fonts, I would say my regular stamper transfers "bold" and the Creative Shop stamper transfers "regular." This is something that would be a matter of preference as sometimes I want my images bold and there are other times where I want to do something that won't cover up too much of my base. 


I won't be ditching my regular stamper, but overall this is a great stamper. It transfers images very well, it's easy to use, doesn't need any priming, feels comfortable to hold, the stamper head didn't fall out while I used it, and it's huge. You can purchase this stamper here for $8.

    1. Hi. I got lucky with my eBay stamper. I typed in XL silicone stamper and got a super quishy stamper. When I ordered more from the exact same link, the next few I got were the firm ones that need to be primed before use. I asked the seller to send me the super soft ones and they said they just sent whatever they had. I haven't been able to find the same ones, but stampers from Winstonia store have been the closest to it.

  4. Great review!!! I have the Creative Stamper and love it. However, I'm off to search your blog for a link to the other stamper because I like the look of the "bold" images.

    1. Oh no! Sorry to hear that. If you're unable to buy it, I do love stampers from Winstonia store as well.

    2. Try Eat.Sleep.Polish. That's the only Canadian distributor I know of. Color4Nails will ship it to Canada but they seem to sell out right away whenever they get it restocked.
