Cleaning brushes after acrylics

[ellasmum]

Hi Everyone,

After a long break from nails (Bad divorce!!!) I am now living in a new area and starting back in the salon in a few weeks!!!! I have a question about using glitter with acrylics and how you clean your brushes up so as not to end up contaminating your clients glitter application with other colours stuck in your brush? How do you go from a purple glitter say to a very light colour, or do you use seperate brushes for darker and lighter colours? Any advice guys would be fab and Its good to be back :green:

Hi there, I have separate brushes for my glitters and for my p&w's, and then I have my wee design brushes. In fact my hubby says I have way too many brushes!

He could be right though

i would use seperate brushes glitter can be a bugger to get it all out.i would also use a seperate lot of liquid for my glitters and then my pink and whites etc.. for the exact same reason.x
other geeks may have a better way of doing things or have some secrets to share though, lol .x

Thanks both, I have one brush for my P&W's and a seperate one for glitters but do I need a seperate one for each of the glitters? Sorry for sounding daft....

If your glitters are the same product line i.e. ezflow then no hun. I use colours from cnd, ezflow and nfu-oh and I have separate brushes for them all.
