try a larger size brush. i have an 8 (ezflow grand artist oval) and it picks up just enough. does NSI carry a larger size?

Where did you purchase this brush, I am sure that the supplier would happily reccomend a larger brush for you.

Don't know if that helps!!

That's not good news.

Maybe try again tomorrow, I often marvel at how you can phone the same number, but depending on who answers the phone you can be given the cold shoulder or be given the perfect answer x x

why dont you get a mail order catalogue such as ellisons, you can order a brochure online....you will be able to order a creative pro styler if you want the restrictions on Creative products are one the liquids and powders.
I trained with the creative pro styler and i found it too heavy due to the acrylic handle (just my opinion) but i found it harder to control the acrylic due to the weight.
now i use the edge sculptress brush number 8 really nice brush and the brush handle comes off as a lid to protect the brush.
or another nice one is by designer nails pro styler with a wooden handle i found this one good too x
hth sorry for going on and on

also are you sure your brush is too small? have you picked up enough liquid with your brush?

i love the pro styler but took me a while to get used to it but used to use the VF21 brush this was really good as well

 

[gembo]

thanks for the advice,with being nw to the industry i,m not aware of all the other brand names yet,so i,ve been sticking with nsi and star nails

Have you tried popping into NSI, its not too far from you there?
NSI do larger brushes but I am not entirely sure of the names.
Maybe this link will help you;

Hope this helps
