New Brush??

kathybaby7 · **New Brush?? -** 30-01-09, 08:44 AM

Hi,

I've had my brush for about 4 months now and its starting to go a bit funny, I know a poor workman blames his tools but all of a sudden the amount of powder my brush picks up is minimal- I always find myself having to go back for more white powder.

Its an NSI brush- terrible that I dont know the name but it was the dearest 1 if thats any help!!

I've read about the Creative brush- ultrasculptor and it seems to have good reviews, I was just wondering whether it can be used with NSI products- I know acrylic and gel branded products cant be mixed but does this apply for branded brushes?

Also if anyone knows where to purchase one if it would be OK to use and prices etc.

Thanks

Cant give you the price hun as we are not allowed to show any prices on here but it is good value,
when you need a new brush you just replace the head for new one so it saves you a fortune in the long run,
you buy them from CND, ring this number and choose the sweet shop from the options, 0845 210 6060,
you be through to Katy who will be able to answer all your questions and give you the prices,

if you have been using the NSI brush you will want the pro styler brush from CND as this is the same size,
the ultra sculptor is much smaller, hth

If you've got the purple handled nsi brush then it is one of the Royal kolinskys. It actually comes in 2 different sizes, 8 or 10. I have got both and love them to bits. I haven't tried the Master series pro styler or ultra sculpter so can't comment on those. I do have both the size 8 crystal touch pro styler and size 10 crystal touch Ultra Sculpter but prefer the nsi. At the end of the day, brush choice is very personal and until you actually try one you never know but as they are the most important piece of equipment you will buy, spending money to find the best one for you is essential.

Cheers,

the purple handled ones are the older style ones now i believe.
i have the one with the clear glittery handle and the silver lid thingy and i love it to bits my first one i bought back at the beginning of 2008 and had it replaced yesterday with the same one i have noticed the difference in getting a new brush but as said i had the first one a lot longer than a few months i did treat it like my baby tho! how do you care for yours?
