Cleaning brushes
Hey guys! I am looking for tips on cleaning brushes, like as I am going along and not when I'm done... Like with regular acrylic paint (not nails) I just dip the brush in water to clean it off... So for my nail art brushes I've been using alcohol (on a lint free wipe, no dipping) 🫣 I hope that's ok?? I'll use acetone every like few uses to get it even more cleaned up. (Again on a wipe and I wipe brush on the wipe and pinch it out. Thank you in advance!!!

Best to not use alcohol or acetone to clean them. Put a little blob of matte top coat on your pallet and run your brush through that then brush on a clean spot of your pallet. Do it again until the color is out. Then gently wipe it with a dry lint free wipe. Store it capped, or in a drawer. You want to leave a little bit of the gel on it. I've also heard of people cleaning them with cuticle oil or monomer, but I don't know if that's a good idea. Maybe somebody else has better advice, but this is what I do. Alcohol and acetone will dry out your brushes

Woo-hoo! Thank you! I'm so excited!
Who’s ready for a WINNER?!?
I’m practicing box stuffing lol. I had a tooth pulled today and I was all laid up in bed sleeping…. I sat STRAIGHT UP out of bed and remembered that Erin had a box. (She’s just starting nails) I ran to the warehouse, it was already shipped. I dug it out of a tote and then I threw her package into a much larger box and stuffed it. MuuuuaaahHahahaa. I’m going to pick three winners from our challenge and I will announce them this evening. I love you guys so much. Keep up the hard work. I’m so proud of our community.
Who’s ready for a WINNER?!?
