Brush help

[lizad14]

Hi everyone I am having a heck of a time forming my smile line I feel like a student as I am a cosmo but I know want to focus on nails but don't have much practice...... anyway does the brush we use help that much or is it just the hand that's using it? I feel I did waste my money when I bought my bursh it is from No lift Nails. I am pritty sure it is not firm enough for me to move the white around. Which brush do you use? Thanks alot

The brush makes a big difference but maybe not in the way you think. You want to use the brush from the same manufacturer as your liquid and powder. This helps you achieve the best mix ratio which gives you the optimum workablity of your product and time to perfect your smile lines.

In addition to the right brush, practice helps a ton and I'm sure I've seen a fab tutorial on here from Sam on smile lines, there is also a great quick spotlight video on cnd.com just be sure you log in as a professional so you can access the videos!

i use a brush from Nsi, i am not sure its available now?

i got it from my friend, who's a nail tech

it has a black handle and i think its a size 10 possibly 12

The brush can make it or break it when it comes to smile lines. I use CND's Ultra Sculptor #10. The best brush I've ever used! HTH!

I have a couple and they are both great brushes (the best i've ever used in fact).
They are:
Grand Artist Oval 508 from EzFlow
Ultra Sculptor from CND

I use Kolinsky #6, for me this is what works best, a freind of mine hates that brush and swears by #8 i think. Different things work for different people

 

[lizad14]

cool keep um coming....... yeah cutesteph at this point I think I need a smaller brush as I need more control.

I've used NSI size 8 when I started and I must say it is a very good brush. Big enought to sculpt and small enought to do smile lines. I even did 3d nail art with it. I'm moving on to size 10 now to save time and I think I'll buy CND's ultra sculptor or maybe Ground Kolinsky by OPI. I'll let you know how are they. But I strongly suggest NSI one for now. Excellent quality.

Yes, I too have a few brushes.

I use Ez Flow 508 ( it is magical )
CND prostyler #8 (beautiful )

and for my smilies I use Hawley's #7, it is smaller than the above ones, and I find it great for crisp smilies...

Hope that helps.


I have a few Nail Tech friends that just buy plain cheapies from china, and they love them, but I would not waste my time, I tried one, and it went straight in the bin....

It is true, you get what you pay for.

Hope this helps.....have a great day....:lol::lol::lol::lol:

I like the CND Pro Styler, it is a good all round brush. However I have one of the new NSI brushes with the short handle and cap - the concept is great.
