How to clean nail art brushes

When it comes to your brushes, prevention is better than cure. It is better to clean your nail art brushes right away and prevent hard bits in the bristles than to have to remove them from your brush afterwards. That is a lot of hassle and the result is not always something to write home about. So, cleaning nail art brushes. Here is how you do it:

● Wiping Always wipe your brush well. Just on a clean palette or tile. That way you get most of the product you use out of the hairs. That saves you money.

● Cleaning with builder gel or base coat You can clean your nail art brushes by pulling the bristles of the brush through a clear builder gel or base coat. You will see that the color of your gel polish, art gel or nail polish remains in the clear coating. Then carefully wipe the bristles of the brush with a dry, lint-free cloth, or simply a piece of kitchen roll.

● Have the hairs of your brush become hard because of gel polish? Then place a little nail cleaner on a cellulose cloth and wipe the hairs with it. Be careful! Do not do this too often. This can dry out the hairs of the brush and they will not look any better. Therefore, always clean your brush immediately after use.

Tip: Never use your fingernail or tweezers to remove anything from your brush. This can damage your hair!

● Proper storage Proper storage of your nail art brushes is essential to keep them in perfect shape. Preferably store them lying down or upside down in a dry, dust-free place. In a pencil case, for example. If you store them upright (upright or upside down), the hairs can become bent due to gravity. You don't want that!

Tip: Always leave a little bit of gel in the hair. This keeps the hairs together nicely.

There. That's it. Cleaning your nail art brushes is thankfully very easy - and very important to keep your nail art brushes in optimal condition so that you can use them again and again to apply your nail art. We can't stress that enough.
