Review (5/5): Exactly what I needed to make picking up rhinestones/gems/sequins/etc. easy!
These are great! They feel nice to hold. Not flimsy. They’re comfortable in the hand. Plus, they have a cute look to them!
They are dual ended. You have the wax tip that picks up rhinestones/gems or any other nail art like sequins or charms. Then there is a stainless steel tip that you use to press down the rhinestone/gem/etc. to keep them in place. You can also pick up a little rhinestone glue with the stainless steel tip and use it to apply a small dot of glue to where you want it on the nail. It’s so helpful!
I needed something to help me pick up rhinestones, gems, sequins, charms, etc. When I tried to use one of those pencils to pick up rhinestones, it worked but not every time, so I’d have to fuss around with it. Using tweezers worked, but it’s hard to not have the rhinestones/gems slip through them and sequins are so thin it’s hard to pick up just one. I tried using a little brush to pick up sequins and things like that, which worked, but sometimes I’d only get 1 or 2, sometimes I’d get a ton that were overlapping. So nothing seemed to work right and be totally easy to use. Until these! I really have no complaints!
Overall, I definitely recommend these if you do a lot of nail rhinestones/gems or art using sequins/charms/etc. It’s totally worth it to help with the ease of application and save you time and frustration trying to use something else. If you don’t do a lot of nail art using stuff like rhinestones/gems/sequins/charms/etc., then it might be fine just using something you probably already have like tweezers or a brush. But, if you were going to buy one of those pencils that pick up rhinestones/gems, I say skip that and go for these! They work so much better and you get 2 of them!
