Review (3/5): Dotting works great, the brushes less so
I've been wanting these on and off for a few years now, but it always seemed like a silly extra thing. After all, painting my nails is already an indulgent activity. Why do I need extra tools for that?
Because these make it so much easier to make cute designs on your nails! Want flowers? 6 quick white dots and you're done. Want a heart? Do two quick dots and pull them down to connect. You don't need any artistic ability to create cute designs while using the dotting side of these tools. Which is perfect, because I definitely cannot draw with my non-dominant hand.
So why the middle of the road rating? Because the other side of these tools, the brushes, aren't nearly as easy to use. They're thin and stuff by design, so that you can use them to draw designs on your nail. But somehow, the stiffness seems to work against you. It resists pressure, which is great, bit can be hard to make the kind of brushstrokes you want. That makes it much more difficult to draw with.
I still recommend these, if only for the dotting side of the tools!
