Tiny Glass Bullion beads.

[mdskora]

What is the best way to keep these little...:irked:buggers on the nail.... i was so frustrated last time i used them i almost threw them in the bin....
then I saw gina's great nails on here and she used some in the middle of her Poinsettia flowers.. they look great..
I am just learnign 3d flowers so should i put them in while it is still setting?...
Thanks
Guys

I pick up a small bead of clear l&p and pick up the beads with the wet bead.

I do mine similar to Nataliya, but i pick up a small bead of clear and place it where i want the bullion beads to go, then pick up the beads with my brush and place them into the bead i laid down ...

Either way should make it easier for you :hug:

They can be picked up in many ways even with a damp cotton bud or orange wood stick they take time but they are well worth the effect

Thanks hunnies..
Also why woudl they be losing their colour?.. I tried once to cap them in clear and the colour came out of them and into the clear..

Thanks

The only reason they would loose there colour would be if they were not good enough quality adell
