This is item #30987 Big red metal clear silicone head stamper.
Silicone head is fairly soft, and it worked straight out of bag - another plus.
On the bottom part of the holder, there is clear plastic bottom that can be removed. I like it on for couple of reasons - this is sticky head, and dust particles can get on it, and they can obscure view. It also makes head slightly firmer, which I actually prefer, but if you like your stamper head extra soft, you can remove it.
Stamper came with a lid that is not shown on any of the photos - I was extra graceful while opening my parcel, and while removing stamper from the bag it came in, it slipped out of my hands straight on the floor. Landed on the lid, and lid broke... I still have it, taped though, to protect top of my stamper from the dust...
I tried stamper right away, and there was no issue whatsoever with pick up of any images I threw at it, regardless of: plate maker, depth of the etching, thickness of the lines, or kind of polish I used. This baby picked up everything!
Here is the sample of picked up images, and also you can see how clear view through stamper head is.
As you can tell, lines (well visible with the white polish) are continuous, not a tiny dot missing! That is impressive!
I also used it for decal making, and I made quick video tutorial, that I can't post here because video is not available for my version of the blog, but if you are interested, you can go to my Instagram page IG@hefersanja, and view it there.
I will show you photos of that manicure.
Base I used is Finger Paints - Yellow out man. Leaf images are from XY- P12 stamping plate, stamped with Hit the Bottle - Cactus Juice. Over that I did decal, double stamped images from few different plates using few different polishes, just to prove how well this stamper works.
This is definitively something I would recommend to all you that are experienced stampers, and to all of you that were considering trying out stamping. I wish this was available years back when I first started stamping. It would make my nail art so much easier. With old, opaque stampers, it was always a guessing game where my stamp will actually land. Not so with this one. You need this stamper!
