This listing does not come with a stamper. You must purchase the stamper separately.
Would you like your stamper pre-primed and ready for use? By purchasing this service, I will pre-prime any squishy stamper. Purchase one of this listing for every stamper you would like primed (for example, if you buy two squishy stampers and would like both primed, then add two of this service to your cart). This is only applicable to stampers that say they may require priming. I used to provide this service for free, but it is time consuming and requires use of materials such as stamping polish. Each pre-primed stamper is tested to ensure a full image transfer.
If you are new to stamping, I highly recommend a pre-primed squishy stamper. Squishy stampers are the easiest of all stampers to use, as they don't require a special technique, such as rolling. A properly primed squishy stamper will pick up full images with ease. When you are new to stamping, there are many things that can go wrong, which makes it hard to pinpoint the exact problem. If you have a properly primed squishy stamper and true stamping polish, then you are much more likely to succeed with the stamping technique.
Note: This service is not applicable for hard rubber stampers or for clear stampers. Priming of clear stampers will cloud the appearance of the clear stamping head. While you can prime a clear stamper, I will not provide that service because I will not send a brand new clear stamper out with a cloudy head. You can try wiping the head with pure acetone a couple times to get it to grip better. Don't consistently use acetone as it will eat the silicone. I recommend a lint roller to clean.

Holo ... what? It can be confusing to figure out all the different terms used to describe polish, and some people might define terms differently than you are used to. Here is how we define the terms we use to describe our polishes.
Chunky Glitter
We define chunky glitter as anything that is bigger than micro-sized. These glitters would be easily seen when a polish is applied.
Crelly
The word crelly is a mixture between cream and jelly. The consistency of a crelly tends to be on the thinner side, but not as thin as a jelly. Many times these crellies contain varying sized glitter. At Nail Hoot, when we use the term crelly, we are always referring to polishes with chunky glitters.
Duochrome
Duochrome polishes appear to shift between two colors when viewed at various angles and lighting.
Flakie
Flakies are particles that can range from micro to large sized. These particles can be seen in the polish when it is worn. A flakie can compliment a polish, or stand out in contrast. Some flakies (such as UCC) shift colors.
Flash
Flash is like a glance of another color within the polish when viewed in various lighting or angles. Flash can be heavy (where the shift would be seen at almost all times), light (every once in a while it will catch your eye), or in between.
Holographic (Scattered Holo, Linear Holo)
Holographic polishes show special color changes when viewed in the direct sunlight.
Linear holographic polishes have color changes that resemble a flame on the nail. This is the most pronounced type of holographic polish.
Scattered holographic polishes have color changes that are scattered throughout the nail. It is typically more of a subtle holographic and does not exhibit a flame.
Jelly
Jelly polishes tend to be very thin. They're designed to be at least semi-transparent. Sometimes this is because there is glitter one would be unable to see otherwise. Another popular use of jelly polishes is to do nail art in between coats, to give the art a floating look.
Microflakies
Microflakies are flakies with a very small size. They are typically more pronounced than shimmer.
Microglitter
Microglitters are very small glitters that can serve many purposes. Holographic microglitters would give a scattered holographic look. Colored microglitters would give dimension to a polish. Polishes with glitter should always be topped with a layer of topcoat to smooth out the glitters and make the polish shine.
Multichrome
Multichrome polishes appear to shift between three or more colors (can include hues within the same color) when viewed at various angles and lighting.
Shimmer
Shimmers are like a special added twinkle in the polish. Shimmer can compliment a polish, or stand out in contrast. Shimmer can be heavy, light, or in between.
UCC Flakies
UCC stands for Ultra Chrome Chameleon. This special flakie is metallic and has color changing properties.
