Sorry for the obvious question but what tool have you found most successful for picking up crystals and applying to the nail?!

Thanks!
 
I use an orange stick and dip it in water, it picks up diamantes really well but I know there is a special tool which I would be interested to know where to get :)
 
I use a dotting tool with a little bit of top coat on it - you only a tiny little smidgen from around the bottle top and voila, perfect picker upper! :)
 
Embellie Gellie is on my list to order at some point (I craft a lot too). Look it up, looks awesome!
 
I use a a little plastic stick with a rubber tip which is suppose to be the propper tool (not great) but my sis in law that crystals up shoes uses a wax pencil she got from eBay it's brill xx
 
I've seen the wax pencil but have bought the diamanté application tool on eBay, like a little plastic stick with a blob of waxy stuff on the end, it's aimed at crafters but is quite good :) for years I just used a wet orange stick tho :lol:xxx
 
Fab, thank you all! Will go with the orange sticks for now!x

Use an orange stick with a little bit of blue tac on the end! Simple but the Easiest way I found x
 
Piece of dried spaghetti works fine too..

Sent from my GT-I9100 using SalonGeek
 
I use spaghetti dipped in water for a couple of seconds, as shown on my Swarovski course
 
I use eyelash tweezers x

This is what I do too
 
I've just been onto ebay and ordered a wax pencil for all of £1.40 :lol:
 
A tooth pick is ace ;0)
 
I absolutely couldn't do it without my wax pencil, I got 2 for 99p about a year ago! I think I've sharpened one of them about 3 times... Plenty of life left in that ;)

Xxx
 
Where do you get your wax pencils from??x
 
I also use orange stick and bit blue tack
 
Definitely damp spaghetti!
