2 bucks, free shipping. i own this set. you seriously can't go wrong. they are really well shipped, and arrive pretty quickly, considering it's coming from Hong Kong. they are really nice quality and easy to clean. they also come in a pouch so you can travel with them! :)
drug stores have them too sometimes.....the handle may be different.
You can also snip the tip off a q-tip & use the hard stick as a dotter....I have a million dotters & still find myself doing that sometimes.
Honestly, don't waste your money on them. Just use the end of a bobby pin, dull pencils, or anything else that's flat and round on the end. You probably have a lot of things you can use as dotting tools sitting right around your house.
okay you really don't need to buy one you can just use household items. Gat a toothpick, dab some nail polish on it let it dry and there you have it a nail dotter. Oh and if you have any loose circle earrings stick on the end of a pencil. works perfectly!!!!!!!
* * * I made mine with a straight pin (plastic ball on top):
> I cut the pointy end of the pin off about half way up the metal
> Stick it in the end of a pencil (I chose a pencil that I was never going to use again because it was too short to sharpen and the eraser sucked)
>> I favor this method to buying one online basically because it is free. And it works wonderfully...also, different size pinheads make different size dotting tools.
> (I'm also kinda a 'handy man' type, so when I wanted a very small dot and didn't have the pin around the house I used a Dremel tool, which is a mall rotating sander or piece of sandpaper...and sanded a plastic pinhead down to my desired size.)
>> Even with all of this altering and personalizing of my tools... and unprofessional quality of my tools, I am extremely satisfied with their performance.

I wouldn't use a tooth pick because they can poke right through all your polish. I got mine at Salley

I love doing my nails but i can't do all the cool designs because i don't have any tools to do designs and i think nail dotters may help!

I purchased my set on ebay for less than 2 bucks but you can use the ends of a bobby pin to dot nail art.

I agree with Sana. You can simply use the end of a bobby pin and get the same results. You can even use an old pen. :)

I agree with Pam. I made one from a pencil and a paper clip. Works perfectly.
