Review title is Surprisingly Good Brushes [SEP] These brushes turned out much better than I'd expected. I don't need the fine line brushes. I gave them to my niece. All the rest I have put to use for watercolor & mixed media. They have been performing great. They hold their shape & have no shedding. The brush tips (aside from the color staining) look almost as good as new even though I've been using them daily for a while now.<br /><br />I didn't expect cheap nail brushes like this to work this good. I've ordered very expensive so-called Kolinsky brushes that turned out to be garbage (obviously not Kolinsky!). This brand doesn't put on a horse & pony show, & the brushes are great. I'm glad I took a chance on them.
