Help with buying my level 3 kit from S2

[Sian H]

I've just been given my kit list for my level 3 nails, I could have bought from my college but they just use the cheapest option from a local warehouse, and as I only buy my shellac and minx and bits and bobs etc from s2, I want to buy it all from there. Can you recommend the best please?
My list is

Gel Brush
Acrylic Brush
3D acrylic nail art brush
Files : 240 grit, 100 grit, 180 grit and a 180 buffer

I've just enrolled at Leeds City College and the kit they are doing is full of NSI stuff. Think it's worth double what I paid. That's scandalous that they use the cheapest stuff! Do they also use this stuff in their Graduate Salon?

They told me its £xxx for the kit, there's also some tip cutters and cuticle pusher in but I've already got them,
Anyway rang the place that supplies this to college, and to buy direct from them it's £xx to buy from them direct with free delivery, works out £26 cheaper!!
I'm not bothered how much I spend at S2 because that's what I will be using forever, so can't see the point buying things I'm not going to use after my course. X

Think I saw student brushes on s2 site for both gel and acrylic- do you use those systems already? Gel brush I would get an oval and square and crystal nails do good nail art brushes a 3d acrylic brush is poss not in the sweet shop?? I have ruined a few acrylic brushes as a newbie as takes a few goes to master having said that now I have the brush to match my system I don't get problems so maybe go straight in and buy a CND brush in a size 8/9 if you plan to use retention

Aww thankyou for taking the time to reply, I will fill my Sweet shopping basket on Monday I'm on no rush for 3D nail art brush so can research them x

Are all gel brushes the same for hard and soft gel? I already have a gel brush from S2 but I'm doing hard gel this time, just wondered if there the same and clean the same? X

The CND gel brushes are the same for soft and hard gels.
However, we do recommend you to purchase a separate brush for each system to avoid cross contamination.
