I got some cheap ones too and they were rubbish...Now I get mine from CND or NSI and there is a huge difference.... I've never ordered any from ebay, but I really think, you buy cheap.... you pay twice.

Well in my experience anyway

i never bother with stripers at all.
the brushes are too stiff and i dont like the way they take a long time to dry and go gunky in the bottle.

i use a thin sable brush, its more flexible than synthetic so its better for if you want to paint curved lines. my paints are good quality acrylic craft paints. they are cheaper, better, dry instantly and last litteraly years without going off.

Oh I love the Art Club Stripers from Color Club. The colors are vibrant and the brushes are actually long and flexible. The polish itself holds up well and is great for marbleing.

I actualy just paid 200.00+ for a set of new art brushes (about 8 of them) ... I am an artist and picky about the right brushes ... 20.00 for 60 brushes?? You must be kidding! they will be absolute rubbish. Don't waste your money.

I Use a brush to , its much more effective and fee you can get many different sizes and thicknesses, and the added bonus of being able to mix any color you want at the time , with the stripers you have to buy LOADS lol

If you don't like the RIO stripers then I dout you would like the e bay ones lol

If you really want stripers then nubar are nice, I have one or 2

I have some Star Nails ones and although the pen part of them is quite good, the actually striping brush is quite bad. Much better than those ebay ones but still not thin enough for me.

Really need to find a decent brush for fine flicks. :(
