Hi,my base coat brush has spread and is really hard to use got a few sets to do today and was wondering if I used d sperse to clean out a top coat brush could I use this?all of my base coat brushes seem to do this and I've only just got a new one😢 but all my other bottles are fine.X cheers

Yes you can clean another brush and use it.

I wonder what you are doing to cause that? Perhaps too much pressure on the brush or using at too sharp an angle when the brush should be held parallel to the nail?

Just beware that the top coat brush is longer and will hold much more base coat and you want to keep it thin, so don't take too much Shellac Base Coat up on the brush.

A short bristle brush is harder to keep parallel to the nail plate so it's easy to apply more pressure to it to spread the product around and thus, to bend the bristles out of shape the way you have done. WE can all slip into bad habits ... easily done also when under pressure and working quickly (which we tend to do with the base coat).
