Hi Jodie, where can I get hold of it? x
Hi! I use "0" brush - with this I can make the thinnest line ever.
The key for using the "0" brush is to put the hair in the material and immediately apply it for the nail! If you spend time watching if you have the right amount of material on the brush the color starts to climb up, so you won't be able to make a normal line... just line with bigger "bubbles".
Also I love "P" brush, gel art brush #2, for 3D there is a special 3D brush as well. I buy these from crystal nails.
Tip (maybe you already know): if you buy a brush you have to "crumble" the hair of the brush. The companies stick the hair together with glue - this what you have to get rid of! It takes few minutes but worth to do it before you start working with a brush!

For 3D acrylic nail art you need a #4 Kolinsky.
As it happens, I wrote an article on our blog a few weeks ago about this ;-)
