new brush.....

[emma's nails]

can anyone help me find a good L+P brush.

i've been using creative pro styler and millenium sable #5 but need to get a few new ones as i lost a few hairs from both recently (clogged up when we had the hot spell of weather). dont really want to spend a fortune but needs to be good quality.

any suggestions welcome.

I have just bought the Ez flow 508 (pro styler I think its called) and it is a lovely brush, except that it was way too long for me, as I have big boobs and the handle length gets tangled up in them. lol. So after sawing off about 3 inches its just right and makes the perfect smile lines for me. The belly of the brush is also quite substantial and holds a lot of liquid should you require it, but will release with the usual wipe on the dapper dish side. HTH

I know it's hard when money is tight but buying cheap always works out dearer in the long run.

I have a Creative brush and then bought a couple of cheaper ones and they are rubbish. I wouldn't mind but they weren't that cheap. So, what I've done now is gone back to my Creative brush but I treat it like a baby. I clean it regularly, I shape it and I NEVER let anyone use it.

Hope that helps. xxx

While we're talking about brushes....

Where can I get a brush thats flat but not pointy/oval at the end?

I'm still using the brush I got in my kit and it's called a #8 Cats tongue. My teacher had a brush that was flat and sort of a rounded square at the end. It was the first brush I ever used and mine has never felt right in my hand..

I have searched high and low for one but haven't had any luck...

Sorry for butting in!!!

Shelly - you have to train it mate

All Creative brushes arrive round and pointed and you have to train to into the 'paddle' shape in clean monomer (once you've removed the gum used to for transportation/protection)

oh I didn't know that, thanks Trin! :hug:

I always wondered how you used the round brushes I didn't know they would flatten!! This changes a few things, lol

NailStyle I'm talking about l&p brushes, I haven't ventured into gel yet

I like the 508 from EZFlow......it is flat at the ferrule and goes into a point but it also goes flat (which i like for near the cuticle area).

I also like the pro styler from creative....

I also love my 508 from Ezflow. Wouldn't be without it, great for a multitude of work. Flat its good for near cuticle area (as amanda says) and has a good "snap to it" and the point is good for your smiles and I even use mine for my 3D work.
