I was a little hesitant about spending too much when I just started my journey with this hobby. But several kits later, I can confidently say that the higher-end applicator is BEYOND worth upgrading to! Combined with the metal forever placers set (sold separately) it’s such an incredible experience. So much better than the free plastic applicators that come with every kit. I have so much more control over gem placement and designs look so much tighter. And of course it’s much more ergonomic and comfortable in the hand. As someone with nerve pain, I appreciate how much easier this is to grip and maneuver. Ten outta ten, would buy again if they offered other colors! (The pink and blue ones aren’t really my vibe.) Please come out with a black and silver one!!

The blue and purple coloring with the glitter is gorgeous. Comfortable grip. Works super well with metal placers. Very happy!

Can’t wait to use my new pen and forever placers tonight!

This applicator is much more comfortable than the one that comes with the kits.

Absolutely love these sets and this pen!

It’s great! Just mad I didn’t get one sooner.

This is the best applicator I have!

I am enjoying using my new pen. I like the weight and how it feels on my hand. Will be buying more in the near future.

I love the weight, and the color, and how it fits ergonomically in my hand! I am glad I went with the upgrade, and got one!

It fits my hand so well & is super comfortable to hold for extended periods of time. The color is spectacular
