Do they chip off, and are they thick and gloppy? Also, how far does the brush go into the polish? I get cheated out of so much polish this way.

They chip off about the same as regular polish, the brush is more of a "detail" brush, about a quarter the width of a regular polish brush and about 3 times as long. The brush goes completely into the polish. I bought them knowing they were detail polishes and they were exactly what I was looking for. I have yet to need a color I don't have!!

I've them a few months and the bristles are still intact. It seems to me that bristles coming out - and on the first day - is neither normal or acceptable. I have a quite old (and cheap) bristle brush with the bristles being pushed back into the brush, as if whatever's holding them to the base has let go - but they do not fall out, even if the brush is somewhat useless now because only the topmost part of the bristles show. However, the Spornettes are fine and seem quite sturdy.

They are not perfectly smooth but won't collect water. I've run mine through the dishwasher many times with no collection of water. I've had no film problems with them either. Be careful not to put them next to heavier glass mugs like the Libby mugs because I have broken a few of these swirl glasses when shutting the glasses drawer.Edit. My bad this is for the mugs. No indent! Perfectly smooth with the cursive L imprint. Be careful when placing them next to more fragile glasses in the dishwasher though because they are pretty sturdy :)

Yes! I put on 2/3 coats, appy polish and follow polish with a clear coat. My polish use to chip after 4/5 days but stays on for 2/3 weeks now. I also take Hair revive from healthfood store which helps hair,skin and nails and I am not sure which one did the trick but my nails are long and georgeus. Were chipping & brittle before. I now use it eveerytime my nails are done and will continue to do so. A little pricy but well worth the money to have these natural nails. Have questions on who does my nails as they look so natural. Just laugh and say thats because they are natural. Hope you try it as I don;t think you will be disappointed. Nancy Lichty Yes! I put on 2/3 coats, appy polish and follow polish with a clear coat.

To be honest, if you don't do it just right and it doesn't adhere well, you'll end up peeling the polish right off. I'm a peeler, and I can't help myself when it starts to come up at the ends. :)

Nope. They are really beautifully hand painted/glazed. Have mind about 1 1/2 years now, and never had any problems.

They flare out but it is bound to happen with the brush down all the time. The crumbs & Etc go under the pan too and I have to tilt it up from the back to the front to keep that from happening. Next time I'll get the ugly better set from Lowe's. I keep this in the kitchen and handy as I have very light floors and it's ok for now but certainly not great. Hope this helps.

I actually had the same problems and I used them on myself. I made the huge mistake of "zero gapping" the blades I think straight out of the box they are crisp enough. And the problem with this is since the screws are so small they adjusted their self during cutting and often times I would leave scratches and marks. To combat this problem I ordered the t-wide blade for it for the blade adjustment screws are a little bit larger and the blades stay in line and finally I just left at factory without zeroing the blade . I did this and I haven't cut my self since I hope this helps

They're not fake. I ordered my pink stippling brush from ulta and the same thing happened :) No worries!

I usually just soak them in a table spoon of white vinegar mixed with warm water but they clean very easily. Make up residue comes off easily and the brush hairs don't shed at all.

They work great. The brushes are soft and really get into every area. Overall awesome construction. I hate hard toothbrushes, these are gentle and do well. Hope that helps.

I measured the bristles. They are about an inch long. They are rather stiff. Go gently the first couple of times using the brush until you get used to it.

I had them on for a week. But I also use a good base coat and top coat. My polish always lasts me at least a week with no chips. It depends on how you wear polish, if you use base and topcoats and if your body chemistry works well with a brand of polish

Its hard to cover the whole nail because the brush is so small you do get that quantity of colors though. Its a good deal and the polish does stay pretty decently. I dont regret this purchase i hope i helped!

I haven't had to apply any polish. The wheels shine them up perfectly every time. I believe you eventually have to replace them. Been using mine everyday for 5 months with no issues.

The polish is relatively each to take off. I don't feel like it damages my nails when its properly soaked off, just try not to scrap it off. I personally don't like this kit as much. My polish always seemed to peel or chip after about 1 week. I had much better results with Sensationail.

The brushes are longer in the polish. It is a treatment product that soaks in.
