Kolinsky Acrylic Nail Brush Red Wooden Nail Brush Professional Salon Acrylic Brush for Nail (10#)

i love this brush, weather it’s great quality or i’m just gotten a better technique to clean the brush, it’s great! instead of soaking in acetone or rubbing alcohol i’ve learned to soak the brush in monomer to clean any hardened acrylic out of the bristles which has not only extended the life time i’ve gotten from a brush but it hydrated the bristles amazingly! this brush has perfectly applied acrylic for me and i highly recommend.

So as stated in other reviews the handle was not properly secured and the detached from the ferrule before I ever even used it. But it took all of 2 minutes to crimp the ferrule and glue the handle back on. It has been an EXCELLENT quality brush ever since, especially for as inexpensive as it was! Definitely pure kolinsky with great form and liquid retention. I can easily pickup a large bead. I still have this one and will be buying more

Great quality for the price. It feels nicer than some of the brushes you can find at a supply store. I have the 14 and the 16.If you’re using a pointed brush, this may take some time getting adjusted to. The tip is rounded and flat while the belly is thick. It’s great for holding liquid if you know your L&P ratio, otherwise it might be a nightmare.If you’re new and you do not know the correct liquid ratio, you most likely will get acrylic stuck in your brush… Especially if you work wet and overwork the acrylic.Use a light touch. Do not mash your brush into the acrylic. Wipe your brush after you first apply the bead to drain out the excess liquid.First use:after I get it out of the packaging, I wash it with warm water and brush soap.I let it dry. Then I soak the tip in monomer for a couple hours. If you leave it longer than overnight you will probably warp the finish and the wood handle. Don’t ask me how I know lol.After I drain the excess liquid, I drop cuticle oil on the hairs and let it soak a couple days before I use it.Regular maintenance:Whenever I take a break during a set, I soak the brush in monomer or leave the hairs saturated so it doesn’t dry out.If any acrylic is stuck to it, I soak it in monomer until the acrylic “melts” off and use a different brush for the time being. Switching between 2-3 brushes helps. The longer the acrylic stays in the brush, the longer it takes to remove.When I’m finished using it, I soak it in monomer for 20-30 mins. I’ll check to make sure no acrylic is stuck and then I dry it, and oil it.*** if you get dried acrylic stuck in it, please do not bend the bristles or try to use it until the acrylic is fully removed. If it’s a little, monomer will most likely remove it after soaking awhile. If it’s a lot, soak it in monomer plus some acetone. Oil the bristles after to keep the brush in better shape.If you try to remove dried acrylic, you may warp/destroy the bristles permanently. I’ve done it before with other brushes.I use this maintenance for all my brushes and they never get dried acrylic stuck in them anymore. I bought a brush cleaner container that holds it above the liquid. I fill it with monomer and sometimes a touch of acetone. The acetone doesn’t hurt my brushes cause I regularly oil them.

Notice that other nail techs that have this brush, handles came off too! But bristles were good

Muy bueno

I have been doing acrylics for 25 years this brush is horrible, it got frizzy and held on to the acrylic within 2 weeks of using it. I really was hesitant to get it because of its rounded shape and my thought was correct if you do pink and white acrylics this brush is horrible plus it's already after a month ready for the garbage.

It’s a beautiful brush and I’m hoping that it works really well. Unfortunately the person that shipped it didn’t think it needed to be in a safe package and it got crushed while it was being shipped.

I’ve had this brush since April of 2023, I LOVE everything about it. Holds the perfect amount of monomer and no issues with cleaning. Rebuying today just to keep them in stock.
