Review (5/5): I LOVE this Little Machine!
I have over 200 bottles of regular nail polish, more than 30 gel polishes and about 40 stamping polishes. I really wanted to try a lacquer shaker to help my polishes to apply more smoothly and last longer, but they were all so expensive until this one came out. I finally felt like I could afford to try out a polish shaker without breaking the bank. Here are some of the finer points about this shaker:
It has been able to shake EVERY shape and type of bottle that I've used it for. This includes round bottles, square bottles, tiny MDU mini bottles, etc. Everything. The strap has holes on both sides -- don't forget this when you're trying to fit a small or irregular shaped bottle.
My bottles are secure. I feel safe letting them shake in that machine -- I do not fear that they will jump out and shatter.
It does the job it's supposed to! There are some super thick stamping polishes (MDU) that I still have to add steel mixing balls to, but anyone who has that type of polish knows that it's particularly difficult to mix up.
Add a few drops of lacquer thinner (NOT nail polish remover!) to an older/thicker polish and shake it up for 30 seconds and your polish will be good as new.
Get the last drops of polish out of a bottle by shaking it up before use.
I also love that this is powered, so you don't have to use batteries at all.
I have used the heck out of mine (I make nail polish jewelry) and it still works perfectly. I love this little machine!
Cons:
It's loud, but I don't expect anything else out of that type of machine
