They are simply pointed cotton swabs... I've used dollar store brands and they are good for cleaning up boo-boos and other various things... with that sort of item go cheap, you don't need to buy top of the line.

I've got the Mehron Detailz. Eagerly bought the gold, silver and white thinking they would be a great add for quick pretty details.

Sorely disappointed in the performance as well. I thought the ones I bought were old, but after reading this I realize they're probably just not that good.

I have never used the detailz. Are they in any way similar to the liquid bling? I have the LB in like a coppery/gold and silver, but have yet to use them.

Nothing like it changing - in fact the detailz are really like nothing else - they are stinky too like a texta, or sharpie which is strange because yu would think they are a liquid form of their paint - but I guess not.
The only thing I can think they are similar too would be nail polish as bad as that sounds..... they are in the same sort of little bottle.... but the wand is not a brush it's a little pointy rubber thing.
YOu have to keep dipping it back in to get more paint and then use both hands one to hold the tiny pot and the other one to pull the wand out - it's a tight fit so it's not easy to get in and out - it's frustrating and stupid - a lot of effort for very little painting....... that said ...do you want mine to try out? LMAO hahahahaha oh I think I am sooooooooo funny!
Can't give the damn things away they are going to sit my case and go off as ar as I'm concerned I'm inclined to send them back to Mehron with a note saying these things are a joke!
Stick with your liquid bling - and learnt o do details with a brush and save yourself the headache.

I am so thankful for this forum! I was wondering about these. I even thought about buying a few with my next order. Think I'll spend my money on something else Very Happy

Well the only thing I actually find them useful for is "details", when painting a face on cheek art or something else that has very fine details. As far as using for outlining on larger designs, forget about it...you'll be dipping that little brush in and out until pigs fly. It just aint gonna happen. Details are kinda a gimmick, all you need is one of the finest brushes and your color of choice....or even something like liquid eyeliner...much cheaper and much more bang for your buck.

another note about the detailz...if the sit for any period of time they seperate and the are a PAIN to get remixed, the ball gets stuck in the thickness of the pigment when it seperates from the more fluid liquid in them. You will have carpal tunnel in no time trying to get those babies remixed! A+ for idea, F+ for execution.

The applicator is the same as in some liquid eyeliners - a sharp felt tip, like a pen. It really is quite useless.
