I have 'em but I don't use them on every card by any means. And Jimmi, I just have to say BRAVA!! for commenting on 200 cards!! That's amazing and commendable . I think everyone should go visit your gallery now!!
P.S. psssttt... how'd you miss my gallery? ;) just kidding!
I have and use my nesties regularly- they are so much cheaper than buying punches and so much smaller! As for Copics- there is just no way for me to justify the cost of them.
sorry Jimmi, I have both, I use the nesties with my cuttlebug ( I was a punch collector before that-need any scallop punches?) and I do have copics too. I use them often. I like the intensity of the color with copics, I never got into the gamsol stuff and I was never satisfied when coloring with regular markers.

I voted no to both. I have no desire for Copics, more than happy with H2Os. I will admit to a small hankering after Nestabilities, and since I was given a Wizard the other day I will probably get some. But I wouldn't have gone out and bought a die-cutting machine just so that I could have Nestabilities. I've managed without them this long.
I commented on all 150+ cards submitted for the challenge I hosted and then on a few just because, lol, oh and I have a goal to have 20,000 posts by Dec.31st;)
I don't have Copics. I just can't justify the expense of them. I would eventually like to get some nesties, but they aren't tops on my list, so right now I don't have either.

I have the full sets of oval and circle Nesties (these were purchased in the last couple months) but I doubt I'll ever get Copics. I prefer watercolor crayons or pencils to color.

Jimmi ~ thanks for taking the time to visit my gallery... really I was just kidding LOL!! But.. now that I've seen this... so happy to help with your quest :mrgreen: and best wishes to you! I will enjoy seeing your posts 'til then and I'll be pulling for you.
While I would LOVE nesties, they are on my holiday list for dh and the kids <wink!>
I dont' have copics, but I have prismas and am in LOVE! I love them and I'm perfectly happy with them!
That last option was a riot!
I voted on the low road.. ha ha.. I have both.. just got the nestabilities.. had my copics for a good long while.. but haven't used them in forever.. I have been using my SU markers and an aquapainter on watercolor paper for most coloring these days.

Came back to see how the poll was going.
Obviously all the people who have both haven't voted, looking at how the graph for None sticks out a mile beyond the others. I always felt in a tiny minority not having Copics, but I see that's the next highest in the poll. Mind you, I suppose it's a bit self-selecting, but yes - polls are fun.
Good luck on achieving your goal with your posts, BTW.

I have one set of nesties right now and one set on their way. I have never had the opportunity to try copics, but I see all the great coloring that people have done with them. I would like to get some too, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. The price is just too high for me so I will have to get by with my SU markers.
No copics or nesties for me, though nesties ARE on my list. I just don't have the 'extra' cash to buy them right now.
As for copics, I have enough coloring medium now and do NOT need to buy anything else, especially at the price of copics. I bought prismacolor pencils recently and haven't even had time to open the tin!
I wasn't even sure what Nestabilities were but looked them up on the internet. I've never heard of Copics. I have a Cuttlebug so I could purchase them and then try to figure out the plates configuration. Just don't have the money right now to purchase much of anything!
I have about 9 Copics and several Prisma Markers, but I just don't use them much. I prefer coloring an image with my blender pen and inks or chalks. Much easier and much less money.
I just bought my first nestabilities; and haven't even got to try them, as I broke my cuttlebug. Hopefully, they will work in the sizzix, I'm not sure if I
will buy a cuttlebug again, probably a wizard that isn't made of plastic

Well - am I the only one who doesn't know what Nesties are? I have seen Copics but am only admiring them from afar at this point because they are too rich for my blood.
I just couldn't resist - I had to vote for nunya business.
But, I do own a set of Nesties and a couple of sets of quickutz which give me the same results as the nesties. All were purchased on sale or with a coupon. I love them -
Copics - oh, no way - can't afford them. But I have a few Prisma markers and my Bics and the colorless blender that works with both.
i don't have eighter of them.
I would like to try the nestabilites, maybe someday when we get over our
money troubles, and if god willing, it will be soon.He has given me a big lesson to learn. There is a big difference between WANTS and NEEDS and i guess i forgot the difference somewhere along the line.
I have nesties, I am scissor challenged!!!! I can operate a scroll saw better then a set of scissors!! Nesties have been such a blessing to me, my cards (and Cutting) need all the help they can get. No copics tho I love using my inks and chalks.
I have several sets of Nesties, and will get more, but have absolutely no desire for Copics. It probably has something to do with the fact that I am afraid I don't have the artistic eye to do all the beautiful shading, and don't have the desire to practice! Is that lazy or just realistic?
Since I have my Cuttlebug and Giga/mega punches and Score-Pal and SU! markers and some Prisma markers...you get the picture....gotta use what I have in tight money times.
Copics, no...not interested. I don't really like the outcome of Copic coloring..by anyone.
Nestabilties, yes. I have 6 sets that will satisfy my most ambitious cardmaking needs: Regular circle, oval and square and Scalloped circle, oval and square. Love 'em!

I have Nestabilities, but no Copics. Copics don't really interest me, I have a bunch of other stuff to color with and just not something I do well no matter what I use to color. No need to spend more $$ on.
Nestabilities are another thing. Love them, can't live without them, makes life so much easier. I have the basic shapes and probably will stop there.

I had to choose that I have neither, but I do have some nesties that are supposed to be in the mail and on their way to me. I'm getting rather impatient waiting for them though.
I have the complete set A of the copics and two whole sets of the nesties... Circles and the squares. Working on now the oval nesties. I do have the two marvy oval scallop punches...but want to get the whole set of the oval nestis... Love the different sizes and also the are a lot cheaper for the nesties and shipping and handling.
Haven't played much with the copics though. Time will let me play more with them, once I do get the time...lol

I've been wondering about copics & nesties. Until I saw the poll, I thought I was the only one without them..lol
I know about copics but how would I use nesties? Would I have to buy a machine to go with them? :confused:
I have marker pens, gel pens, pencils, crayons, chalks & I reckon if my hubby thought I was looking into copics (price is stopping me buying them), he'd probably divorce me... :lol: ;)
I have several sets of Nesties and I love them. I use them for every card I make. I don't have any Copics but would like a certain one for outlining and shadows. I have a set of SU markers and a big set of Derwent watercolor pencils and I am satisfied.
I have several sets of Nesties and use them ALL the time! Love 'em, want more, but for the sake of my marriage I'm trying to refrain . . . for now! ;)
Don't have any Copics. Would like to try 'em some time, but can't see myself investing that kind of money. Loved the tutorial I saw about using the Sharpie and Bic markers to give a Copic-like effect. Discovered, tho', that I'll want to expand my collection of those. Fortunately, they're pretty cheap!
