Today, many girls spend a lot of time and money on their manicure. Not everyone goes to beauty salons. Some do it on their own. In order for the result to be amazing, it is important to correctly use manicure brushes.

Tools for manicure are always available in specialized stores. They are available both individually and in sets. It usually includes several basic brushes, which are almost always necessary for performing different types of manicure. Each of them has its own purpose:

• A dotted brush is used to apply small details. With its help, it is possible to carefully draw various patterns on the nail. It also holds rhinestones or sequins well.

It can be difficult for beginners in nail art to decide on the choice of material from which manicure brushes are made. It can be natural or synthetic. The final result depends on its features.

The material for making natural brushes is usually sable wool or kolinsky. The bristles of these brushes are of high quality. They do not require special care, but they will last a long time. With such tools it is convenient to draw ornaments of varying complexity using various types of paints.

The polymeric material from which synthetic manicure devices are made significantly reduces their cost. These brushes hold the varnish well and do not allow it to spread.

They are recommended for beginners because they are good for practicing and working out patterns. But keep in mind that their shelf life is much shorter.

The main advantage of silicone brushes is their durability. At this point, they surpass even natural bristle tools. These brushes are great for fine details.

In order for the tool to last as long as possible, it must be properly looked after. Manicure brushes must be used exclusively for nail design. You should not draw with them on paper, so as not to deform the pile. When using conventional paint instead of varnish, the hairs often fall out.

Not only a long stay of the brush in water leads to a change in its shape, but even a short one will lead to the loss of the original appearance of the pile. You can return it by holding the brush in hot water for several minutes.

To prevent the varnish from drying out on the bristles of the brush, they must be washed immediately after use. If you do not do this on time, you will need acetone to clean them, which damages the structure of the fibers.The bristle of the brush will wear off very quickly when using a palette with an uneven surface. To avoid this result, you should not rub the tool against the napkin with force.

Beginners for practicing patterns and small details can make a nail art tool from a regular brush for painting with watercolors. This is easy to do on your own at home, with only a brush and tongs.

With the help of nail clippers, small tufts of villi are carefully removed at the very base of the brush from the edge to the center. It is necessary to try so that as a result the brush is in the middle and does not move to one side. Cut the pile in small sections so as not to damage the instrument. The number of cut fibers is determined by the required size of the future tool.
