Thank you - this is useful information. In the states, I've only been able to find the detail colour shapers in sets and they are quite expensive, but they pay for themselves in a short amount of time and they don't need constant replacing. I have the white and grey sets and find them very useful in my work, but my preferred shape is the round cup (working on the edge). I'll have to add the extra firm set to my next art supply order. Personally, I don't get on with the cotton buds for blending - the fuzz and the constant replacing drive me nuts.
You need to get buds that are firmer! Cheap ones are better in my experience, more expensive are softer and therefore fuzzier. I have done a vid on blending so please take a look. Lighter pressure with firmer buds is better. They also last a bit longer too although if blending properly you will def go through several. They are a bit better than colour shapers. Keep watching and I will show some other blenders soon regards John
@@brendamorgado562 You can get the soft and firm ones individually from Blick. The smallest size (0) only comes in the full set of 5 or 6, but Blick carries the extra firm set in addition to the firm and soft. I ordered individual ones in extra firm from Jackson’s Art Supplies. Amazon has silicone blenders from Green Stuff World that look comparable (they are for art, not nails), but I haven’t tried them.
@@brendamorgado562 I am in UK but I would suspect Amazon would be a good starting point. Don't buy cheap ones ,they will fall apart,,,better to spend the price of a cheap pack of 5 on one good one. Let me know how you do regards John....btw please subscribe if you have not already!
@@brendamorgado562 Blick or Jackson’s. They are called Colour Shapers at Blick, but they are by Royal Sovereign, however Blick only carry the smallest size (0) in extra firm in a set. You can buy individual shapers in all sizes and firmness at Jackson’s. Shipping was less than $5 when I placed my order last week.
Hi, I am in the UK so unsure but I would expect Amazon to be a good starting place. Don't buy cheap ones though as they will fall apart,,,,,better to spend that money on one good one x
Great information. Thank you. I think the very firm silicone shaper is what I need.
