Nail Pro Tips
Hey there, nail artist extraordinaire! Let’s get those fabulous acrylic nail brushes sparkling and ready for their next masterpiece!
To keep your beloved acrylic nail brushes in tip-top shape, remember these golden rules! First off, guard your liquid & powder brush like a precious jewel, keeping it far, far away from anything that might stiffen or mess with its lovely bristles. That means no acetone, no alcohol, and definitely no rogue polymer powder trying to sneak in and cause trouble! The only thing this pampered brush should ever touch for cleaning is your trusty acrylic liquid. Once it’s squeaky clean, tuck your liquid & powder brush back into its cozy box, laying it down flat. This little beauty sleep will keep it pristine and perfectly shaped, ready to create stunning nails for its next grand performance!

Want your beloved gel nail brushes to stick around for countless masterpieces? It’s all about showing them a little love and following these golden rules. Think of your brushes as tiny artists themselves – they need proper care to perform their best!
First off, when it’s time for a rest, always lay your brushes down flat; never, ever store them standing upright in a holder. Gravity is not their friend in this scenario! Imagine trying to sleep standing up – not comfy, right? We even have a great brush boxes that are perfect for their beauty sleep!
Next up, let’s talk about what not to do.
Using to much acetone. Minimize the use of those super drying substances like acetone. Think of acetone as a harsh villain for your delicate brush bristles – it can really mess them up!
Instead, for a quick clean, grab a dry pad or a thin consistency clear gel.
One pro tip is to always apply a tiny bit of clear gel to the brush after cleaning and then pop your cap on it. This keeps the bristles conditioned and protected, ready for their next adventure! This little trick can help your brushes last for years, keeping them soft and pliable. And remember, they are vampires. So keep the out of the sun or your uv/led lamps.

Immediate cleaning is Key when using traditional nailpolish.
I know it sounds cliché, but cleaning your nail brushes right after use is essential! I always keep a cotton/lint free pad soaked in nail polish remover nearby to wipe off the brush. Remember to clean with the direction of the bristles to keep them straight and in good shape.
If You Forget…
If I happen to forget, I soak a cotton pad with nail polish remover, fold it around the brush, and gently swirl the brush inside. Make sure the cotton pad is damp enough; otherwise, it can damage the bristles! Keep those brushes clean for flawless nails every time!
