According to the findings of a survey released earlier this week by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, nearly 57 percent of the participating mobile-phone app users said that they have either uninstalled a downloaded app or refused to install a new app because of privacy concerns.
The response of the participants came in Pew's new survey which chiefly assessed mobile phone users and privacy; with more than half of the respondents admitting that they have declined to download an available app due to concerns about the collection of their personal information or have deleted an earlier-installed app from their handsets.
Specifically, the Pew survey found that concerns about the amount of personal data which an app would potentially collect had led 54 percent of the study-participants to decide against the installation of an app; while the revelation about the information an already-installed app had actually collected prompted 30 percent of them to uninstall the app.
Noting that the findings of the Pew survey that "many app users are taking privacy considerations into account" have come at a time when there has been a steady increase in the use of mobile apps, Pew's senior research specialist Mary Madden said that the survey has noteworthy implications for the mobile industry.
About the survey's findings, Madden said in an email: "This data suggests that the way personal information is shared or collected by an app can make or break a user's decision to download or otherwise engage with that application."
Your main places to buy brushes will probably be the internet, art/hobby stores and nail supply stores. If you choose to buy online, I would suggest Amazon or Ebay, but beware of those amazingly cheap sellers from China on Ebay. The quality can be quite dodgy, you might find them losing their point and falling apart in a couple weeks.
If your brushes are stiff and hard, it means there is dried polish in them. You can soak them in some remover or acetone, but try not to leave them for toooooo long! The first time I soaked my brushes I, very stupidly, left them bristle down in a glass of remover and came back to find a bunch of brushes with bent tips.
There's a few different brands out there that are pretty well liked, one is Migi. They are a two way nail art pen, meaning they have a brush (in this case a normal size brush) and a pointed tip. They have a great selection of colors, and what makes Migi really unique is that they offer free refills and free replacements. Talk about service! You can buy them in sets of 8 colors for $24.99 from the Migi website, or sometimes you can find 
. I haven't tried them, but everything I've heard has been positive.
If you live in the UK, your best bet is Nails Surpreme 
Another good option in the UK is the Model's Own pens made in collaboration with Wah Nails. They're also two way style and they're easy to find in most Boots stores or Topshop. I found them in Guildford...they're out there if you look! They're £6 each so if you want loads of colors, it's more cost effective to go for the supreme ones.
One brand that I have tried and really do not recommend is the Cina pens from Sally Beauty. They have a tip similar to a felt tip marker...far too thick for what I need. You have to shake it and press down the tip to get the polish flowing, and once it is it tends to come out in huge globs all over your finger. What a disaster! Steer clear of this one! I've also heard some pretty bad stuff about the Sally Hansen ones in the same style as Cina, but I've never tried them.
