CUSTOMER REVIEW
Edit 3(a): This review applies to the product specifically sold and shipped by MASH Nails, since there are "counterfeit/lower-quality" offers by other parties.
Bought two sets of the rhinestones the other day, and wasn't sure if I was getting my money's worth. I was crazy enough to count them all; took me about four hours to sort through the mixed-up colors, dump each of them in separate places and count everything. The total turned out to be a little more than 4,000 pieces, which means that each wheel contained only about 2,000 pieces -- not 2,400. (For average of each color, see below.)
If you don't mind missing approximately 17%(1/6th) of the advertised number, it's not a bad product. The rhinestones are very shiny and colorful, making them interesting to look at. (And wow, did I spend a lot of time looking at them.) They can be a little tricky to apply because of their size.
As others have commented, the colors can get mixed up if you're not careful (or they just came that way because of the shipping). Some of the colors (esp. black and purple) "stick" to the walls more than others, which means that there's a higher chance that the stones will get caught between the wall and the lid, which will wedge the lid up and allow some (or many) stones to spill into the adjacent compartments. This happened to me, which is why it took four hours to sort and count everything.
Color averages: (from 2 sets; average total approx. 2,010 pieces per wheel -- your mileage may vary)
Red ~ 150
Magenta ~ 165
Pink ~ 175
Yellow ~ 175
Green ~ 170
Lime green ~ 150
Blue ~ 180
Light blue ~ 170
Purple ~ 185
Lavender ~ 150
Clear ~ 170
Black ~ 170
Edit: Went to a local beauty supply store today, and found their version of a rhinestone wheel. It was approximately $4-$5 with 12 colors, but only 20 pieces per color. This is a much better deal, despite the "missing" stones.
Edit 2: The product was about $3 (per wheel) when I had purchased it.
Edit 3(b): Shipping may take a while when you buy from other (i.e., international) sellers. I bought from (what I hope is) the original seller - shipping was fast. Double-check who you buy from; there's a reason why that warning is there in the description. And honestly, it only costs a few more dollars to make sure you're getting what was supposedly advertised. Plus, I got it with free shipping.
