I am just getting around to trying my Nuvo drops and quite a few are thick and won’t let me apply to paper and make dots. Is there anything I can do. One color in particular is the black. Thank you!

I've noticed that too with mine. Some flow smoothly while others, even new out of the bottle, are clumpy. I don't know that there's anything that can be done. Thankfully, most of the bottles I've tried tend to flow smooth. It's just those few that are problematic...
I store mine upside down to help prevent them from drying out, but like I noted, some are clumpy right from the start.

But most can be made useable by poking a wire into the applicator. You can also pop the applicator off and flush it with hot water. When did did you buy them? I remember talk that there was one shipment that had ends clogged with plastic, and people were snipping off the very end of the nozzle. If you are having trouble, contact the manufacturer. They may be able to help. |

I find I have to warm mine up a bit before I use them. I wear a hoodie and just put it in my pocket for awhile to warm it up a bit and then I have no problem as long as the tip isn't clogged.

I had a few that were coming out thick. I took the nozzle off, cleaned it and flushed with hot water, let it dry and replaced it. I store them upside down and they’ve worked great ever since!

I've never had good luck with these and I'm thinking its either my climate or user error because everyone raves about them!

Lol, I have been wanting to try them, but I have about 80 bottles of stickles I need to use up first.

I threw out a few that were literally hard as a rock - they'd never been opened or used before. After I threw them out I realized I could have tried warming them up by putting the bottle in a cup of warm water, but too late! I love the look of them and wish I could buy them. |

I have a ton of the original Nuvo drops and almost all of them gunked up from the beginning and I have to pop the tip off and ram a needle up it to clear things out, and scoop a little out of the bottle in order to get them to flow again. Before I was aware the tip popped off, I was squeezing a bottle so hard it popped off itself, flew across the room and splattered drops all over. It was a mess and I was so mad I vowed to never buy any more drops ever again. I don't use them very often because it is always a battle to get them to come out. Despite this, I couldn't resist the Dream drops and got all colors. I have had those for a few months now and so far, those haven't clogged up at all, they come right out perfectly every time.

I find I have problems with the metallic Crystal Drops. The gloss Crystal Drops are a dream for me except for white and black. They require a bit more finesse to use for me.
