Nail art brushes
There are many different types of nail art brushes and they all have their own function. But which brush do I use for what and how can I best maintain my brushes? Read on quickly.
The different types of nail art brushes

Filbert brush
With the filbert brush you can easily apply all types of nail gel/paint. You can also easily model acrylic with it.
What is the best way to clean and maintain my brushes?
- The most important tip, do not use removers or acetone. This will damage the hairs of the brush, dry it out, the hairs will also spread out and it certainly does not promote the lifespan of the brush.
- When you have used the brushes with gel polish, it is best to clean them with a colorless base coat or top coat. Put some colorless gel on a cloth or paper and rub your brush in it until it is completely clean. What is also very important afterwards is to store the brushes with the cap on. Avoid sun or UV light, because your brushes can harden through this.
- If you have used the brushes with acrylic, it is best to clean them in acrylic fluid (momomer). Let the brush soak in the fluid for a while and wipe it clean with a cloth. If there are still some residues, you can loosen them with a dotting tool. Then you have to soak the brush in acrylic fluid again, and repeat this process until the brush is clean.
