I love the Nuvo products. I don't purchase the Stone drops b/c I don't like rough textures on the cards that I make. I have just about all the Glitter Drops, the Jewel Drops, the Vintage Drops, the Crystal Drops and some of the Dream Drops. I like the opacity of the Vintage Drops as well as their shades. They are very reminiscent of a bygone time and some shades really remind me of where I lived in France when I was a younger adult. The best feature of the drops is that they self-level. As long as you pull the bottle up relatively straight off the paper (or whatever medium), the drop rounds itself. I have once or twice been very sloppy and the product did not correct my error. But as long as I am halfway paying attention, the application comes out great. The colors are very close to how they appear on the computer screen; only in 1-2 cases have I been surprised at how the color appeared vs. how it seemed online. I use these drops for everything from flower centers to snow falling to little accent drops to liven up a plain background for a card with action only in the middle. The uses are many and if you catch these on a sale, you're silly if you don't buy at least a few.
