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!!

The bristles are short and hard. They are not long and soft and pliable like on a hair brush. They are more like the teeth on a comb, but shorter. A whole row of bristles can come out. It's no big deal. You just turn the barrel until you find the slot that the row fits in and slide it back in.

I got the started set over 2 years ago, I use them all the time and they still look brand new. Maybe your brushes are not original... Sorry :(

when i polish the counters they become VERY smooth and thus slippery...i find this to be an indication of a good uniform polish....this SHOULD be expected however...i presume that the steps are not smooth like my counters and thus would not have the same issue.

I just thoroughly cleaned them with my usual household all purpose cleaner then rinsed off the counter two or three times to make sure I got any and all residue off, then let it thoroughly dry. I don't believe I ever used anything abrasive or sanded first. I am not having any chipping problems. I just followed the directions in the kit. I had mauve/rose colored formica counters that were really "fugly"! Looks a lot better now and I'd never done anything like this before! They came out great and they're hold up great. I'm careful not to cut anything on them or put anything hot on them and I wipe up with my dish cloth when I'm done doing dishes or just plain water.

Don't buy it, polish chips within hours of dying... opi is a better brand. The brush is regular.

I don't feel like they do. They're about the size of a large acrylic fingernail, if that helps. It also depends on how many coats you use. Some polishes require 2-3+ coats to be fully opaque

These are not for painting the entire nail. They have a very thin brush meant for creating stripes and designs on the nail. In my opinion, they are worth the price because you could spend upwards of $3.00 each on these in a beauty store.

if your nail polish isn't old try applying a thin coat 1st. I usually do 3-4 coats. if I do a think coat it always looks like they were touched before they dried. I'm not a big fan of these nails. I will use them bc I already bought them but I wont be buying any more.

I use these at my work. We run them through the dishwasher there, but then polish them by hand. I've never seen the machine do any damage to them.

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. :)

I'm not sure if they make them thicker other than when you are wearing the polish. The polish definitely makes them feel sturdier. What I can say is that my nails cracked and chipped at the ends often, and this stuff kept that from happening! It was miraculous.

Believe it or not, they are. I find that they are very actually pretty stiff (with the exception of the fan brushes) and thick. I have had them for a couple of weeks now and I have had no shedding problems. Especially for the price, these are very good quality brushes. Hope that helps

I wish I could help, I really dont know. However, they do look too small for your brush. I used the CT2.Good luck!

Basically the color is just for looks I think. They aren't really very gritty but they do leave your nails very smooth. They are a little thick and difficult to file the sides so i use a regular file to do the sides properly. Overall I really like them because they don't wear down like a regular file. I keep the smaller one in my car for emergencies and the medium one in my desk at work. Keep in mind, they are glass and might break if you drop them on a hard surface.

First polished I used was black. I just dipped it in some Polish remover and that cleaned it. However my brush is now still black. I don't know how lighter colors would do it though.

Yes, I don't even use the brush that came with them. I rinse them with hot water & put them in with the silverware. They come out sparkling clean!
