ACRYLIC BRUSHES

One of the main tools used in nail enhancement is the brush. A bit like hairdressers and their scissors our brush is everything. If it is not right we'll struggle for a good finish.

There are so many brushes in the industry, how would a new nail technician know which is the best one for them? Unfortunately it can be by trail and error, sometimes by recommendation, but because what suits one nail tech may not suit another it can take some time before we find the right brush for us.

When I did my training in acrylic the brushes were one size - small - we applied 3 small beads of acrylic along the apex, 1 in zone 3 and a couple more on the free edge. Now a days there are a multitude of brush sizes and techniques. What am I talking about?!  It's okay nail technicians will understand - really they will...

Attached is a video about brushes and brush sizes just to give you a taste of the different techniques and brush sizes. I hope this will help you to identify which technique and brush size will work for you.
