cool condensation effects

yes, I went to the farmer's market this morning . . . and yes, I loaded up on fresh berries, came home and made belgian waffles topped with blueberries, blackberries, strawberries & raspberries!  Unfortunately, when I grabbed my crystal effects to create the look of condensation on my berries, it was pretty thick and difficult to produce "drops" with the end of a toothpick, but I still like the shiny spots I was able to create on the largest berries.
