The first ice cube stamper I got was very firm and not very sticky, but every other one I've received since has been very sticky and soft. I think that this is a great deal especially if you are new to stamping! I can't imagine how anyone can use a stamper that is not clear after using this one first. It's so easy to line up stamp art where you want it when you can see your nail through the stamper!

I love the shape of this stamper because it is good at picking up just what I need. The ice cube stampers can be finicky, though, so I recommending prepping it before use. 1) wash the stamper with dish soap and let it dry 2) if it still won't pick up designs well, try leaving it on a sheet of printer paper overnight. Once I did these two steps, the stamper worked perfectly!

I have a hard time with this little stamper, not that it doesn't do a good job but it always flies out of my hands, compared to the other stamper, it's just more work for me than it's worth

I washed it and dried it before using and it has worked wonderfully at picking up the designs. Love that it's clear and I can see the placement.

A great little stamper. It has taken me some trial and error but I really like the clear see through ice cube. It has really helped me as a beginning nail stamper.
