  • If it seems too good to be true, it usually is! Saviland posted “100% sable” acrylic brushes. Bundle deals. I ordered them to see if they were actually sable. Guess what? lol
    Stay tuned for the month of giveaways!

    YES!!!! Finally someone said it! I got a set for christmas, went to use them and was like OMG these are like nylon! I tried a practice set and I couldnt even lay the acrylic! I was sooo disappointed! They are trash brushes! I was so upset. I have a couple expensive brushes so i know a good brush even if I am a newbie. I could not work with these one bit. So sad.

    Any easy test I do is pluck out a single hair with tweezers or cut one out so you're not pulling at the other hairs base. Hold it in metal tweezers and burn it with a flame and you will notice right away if it's natural bristles it gives off that unmistakable burning hair smell and synthetic do not they give off a burnt plastic or synthetic smell. Easy and sure way to know if it hair or plastic

I landed on your channel because I actually am/was literally considering buying the saviland acrylic kit on amazon for sale for I think $15.00 at the moment. So I wanted to watch a few testing videos of said product. After watching your acrylic kit testing video & now this one, I have changed my mind and I'm deleting this item off my amazon shopping list! I've been looking online for almost a week now for either an acrylic kit with everything I would need or some more polygel only Cuz I have lots of supplies for polygel already. I'm so indecisive Cuz the very 1st polygel kit I purchased was that brand "coselia" and it SUCKS SO HORRIBLY. So idk what to do. I can only afford under $20 at this current moment in time. Im realizing that I'm not going to get anything great for under $20- :/

      @@crystaltomeyalcantara9842 i would escalate. Typically when i do they’ll override it. Just explain you didn’t open it right away because you twisted the products they were selling were genuine. So you had no reason to check. But now that you know they aren’t genuine you’ll be checking immediately. 😉

    Nightmare. I would not buy one of these Saviland things expecting a great brush they look like inkers or carvers. I don't see much of a belly to press-crimp and they aren't broad across. #22 would be my choice. Big handle for comfort carp or mermaid tail. Save the little digits for striping and carving pearls. Careful that you get help if you do it yourself, brushes take time to master crimp-pressing.
