I am not sure of everywhere that do them but I know Nailorder do little pots. The only thing to look out for is the type of plastic they are made from, you dont want to melt them. If they are too small then you will not get enough depth to make your beads without touching the sides of the dish.
 
The Creative One Stop Nail shop sell them in packs of 5 or 10 I think

these little pots look ok but like fiona says...will monomer melt them if it touches the plastic?....i was actually looking for the little glass jars/pots with screw top lids....i should have been more specific in my first post...sorry :o

the problem with the osns is i am not creative trained yet so will i be able to buy them?..if so can anyone tell me the website or the telephone number please

thanks

The restrictions in the OSNS only apply to liquid and powder purchases so you will be fine buying the pots.

Cheers

try your local pharmacy, i go to superdrug and the pharmacist sells me small glass jars with srew on lids. they are not on display you will have to ask or try aromantic.com.
 
well as you all know i am always mixing new glitter powders up done 3 more this week :green:

I use the ones from creative i prefer these as they also come in a tube to keep them in and i think they cost me about £1.90+ vat
 
Well, I'm even tighter than the lot of you :) . I use my old film containers!
