I use Creative Brisa gel with the Crystal touch oval brush.

I use it for all my application and it sweeps to a nice point for swiping smiles -HTH

It is available from Sweet squared - call them on 08452106060

I like big gel brushes - # 8-10. For sculpting that is.

Most imprortant ist that Your Gel Brush is made from natural hair. Syntetic hair are not so plastic nand absorbe to much product between hairs.

What kind of brush is thebest?

I use this gel brush. I have #6. I use it for both laying down the gel, and doing the smile line. Even when doing just a French manicure with polish I correct the smile line with a #6 flat brush. It seems to work well for me.

I use the CND natural hair Honey Oval brush and I adore it ... I much prefer the finish to the synthetic hair brushes especially for colour. It cleans more easily too and you can have a lighter touch with it which as we all know, gel likes.

I've got a gel brush that came with the Brisa course which is fine but it is starting to look like split ends for some reason and is getting tricky to work with. Anyone any ideas why its gone a bit wirey? xx

First of all gel brushes don't last forever but when the ends look a bit furry it is because they have been cleaned once to often in Scrubfresh or other cleaner .. I've done it to loads of gel brushes. The synthetic bristles do not like acetone.
