What do you think to my new rhinestone picker upper!

[MINKUS]

Hey guys,

I've been looking for a 'rhinestone picker upper' for ages and i saw this today and had to buy it !!

There is another 'tool' with it too which was so cute it also has to be given a new home!

The handle is mother of pearl it's so dinky and lush!

Apparently they were used to 'clean under the nails with':o

They are lovely antique implements from a ladies maicure and sewing kit.

I also have a set of these antique tools and never thought of putting them to use at my nail desk ... I think I'll get them out and use them.

the one you are using Amb is from a sewing kit (to make holes) and the other is for cleaning under nails .. very very good tool as you may find out. :hug:

I love Mother of Pearl, well done on your 'find':hug:

I was inspired by the Almond mask to use mop spoons for spatulas! I got them of flea bay along with a dish which has three mop shells set in it. I use these for luxury mani and clients love it , looks really pretty on nail table.

I was originally looking for the caviar dish from the Almond Spa DVD and then remembered mop spoons are used for caviar:green:
