Hi Gem & welcome...
Who did you do your training with? I would have thought if you ring up your educator they should help you by giving you the phone number for the sales dept or advise you atleast.

Your welcome!
Glad I can help.
At least you know what tp ask for when you ring.
I havent been to the new place yet, just the old one, it was still a fab place.
Why dont you sign up for the news letters? They have open days and special offers on.
I went to an open day with Vicki (fingertips nd) and it was good to watch the educators at work, and it was lovely to watch all the nail art too.

I'm in the same position as you... the brush that came in my kit is a 6 & too small for me now... my educator said she uses one from Millenium no.8 or no.10 & told me to get one of those, havn't yet tho
Good Luck in your search

brushes are an expensive experiment, so make sure you have a look before you buy, i prefer an oval brush (pre-crimped ferral.....the silver or gold bit) with slightly longer bristles, (i'm more a patter of product, rather than a wiper, after a while you will feel more comfortable with a larger brush, i now use a size 18 flattened (or fanned) it's almost half an inch wide, each to thier own, but never be frightened to try something new, first time i saw a flattend brush i freaked out, that was 15 years ago and i've never looked back, flattened brushes make more sense to me, whereas others feel comfortable squashing a ball with a point, to me it makes more sense to pick up a strip of acrylic and pat it into place the whole width of the nail
