After reading everyone's horror stories with the drops, I finally used mine (have had them since June). I have to say I am very pleased. I used a little secret weapon to aid me. It's one of those little personal fans. Dried them in about 3 hours. I've been touching them many times- no fingerprints.
They are lovely. Thank goodness I am at a retreat this weekend and it just happens to be attached to a huge scrapbook store. And they have them in stock!! Awesomeeeee!

Glad you had a good experience with the drops. The fan is a good idea for fast drying.
I keep a small bobbin of wire in the box with mine, and make sure the nozzle is open and the contents stirred before I use them. I also test first on scrap paper, and if I feel any resistance when I am using a bottle, I stop and repeat with the wire.

Im glad you've had success with them! I haven't bought any as I was waiting to see if there were good reviews (as well as the bad ones I had already heard about!).

I have 12 bottles of them. I have had an issue with clogging, but a long pin does the trick. Mine dry fast too. A pair of jeans can dry in about eight hours at my house.
I imagine that to get the drops to harden, the mixture has to be pretty thick and that doesn't always work with the nozzle. They are improving the nozzle, but who know when that will roll out.

I love them too! Got 2 new colours this morning I scrap in a conservatory so it's quite warm & sunny in there and mine have all dried quick and hard. I love them!

I sold the 19 bottles I bought. I tried them out and although I like them, I just decided that I wouldn't use them. I don't scrapbook enough, I mostly do art journals and canvases.

I have had no issues with the gloss ones I have purchased. They have worked fine straight out of the delivery packaging. No pins or cuts needed.

I haven't had a problem with the bottles I bought. I just hate the long drying time since I tend to scrap away from home. I think I need to start premaking them or pack my small desktop fan with my cropping stuff.

So I ordered three bottles of Nuvo drops to try out and I really liked them and bought three more bottles. I've noticed with the green specifically that the drops don't level out. They dry with a peak at the top and it almost seems like the green is thicker than the other colors. Is there a trick to leveling it out?

My green doesn't have an issue. Weird. I bought a sparkle bottle today and drops are more liquidy than my older bottles. Wonder if they are trying to fix the clogging issue.

I really like them. Haven't had any issues with them at all! I just wish there were more colours available!

I really like them so far and haven't had any problems. They aren't exactly like enamel dots but I do enjoy using them and have ordered few more

I love my Nuvos!!! I have quite a few and there were 2 that were hard to squeeze out. I used a pin to unclog the nozzle and now they are fine.
