Since I'm apparently diving back in:

Clear condiment bottles with squeeze tops.

I like to mix up my two or three favorite washes in large quantities as I tend to use them a lot and like the idea that the proportions will be consistent throughout a project. Of course I have a matte medium solution and one with just distilled water as well.

Makeup applicator. This is the best thing I've found for finishing glazes and thick washes. Apply wash as normal with a brush and then use this to clean the excess. You can get them for a penny apiece if you buy in bulk.

Porcelain palette. Specifically this one with the sloping reservoirs. The angle lets you see exactly how well your wash will cover and blend. Multiple sections allow for mixing and composing.

Filberts. Wide at the base. Narrow at the top. Holds a lot of pigment but also allows for good control. Use the wide profile for large areas and the narrow profile for corners. Best base coating brush I know of. 

Hit me back.
