Every child knows what a brush is. In our time, the brush has found its application in the build-up of nails. Masters of nail art in their work use different brushes and each of them has its own individuality.
Classification of brushes used in nyl-art
For brushes of nail art there is a classification invented by the masters of their craft. Brushes for nail extensions are divided into artificial and natural. It all depends on what material the brush is made of. Artificial - this is basically a brush of high quality polymers (nylon, for example), and natural from animal wool, for example sable. Differences in the work of both types of brushes do not. Synthetic brushes are mostly used by beginners. Due to the fact that natural compared with synthetic brushes are much more expensive. But natural brushes last longer. Also, the brushes differ in shape, length and width of the pile. To the master of the nail art it was easier to distinguish the brush, there is a special numbering system. In it, the thinnest brush has the number 0, respectively, the largest number 8.
Modeling brushes designed for gel and acrylic
Such brushes serve basically for escalating of nails and giving to a nail of a natural bend, creation of the form and a stress zone (border of a natural nail and an artificial nail which demands additional strengthening). The master of the build-up is the so-called "mini-painter", which aligns the nail, like the walls of an apartment house with the help of his instrument.

Such brushes serve basically for escalating of nails and giving to a nail of a natural bend, creation of the form and a stress zone (border of a natural nail and an artificial nail which demands additional strengthening). Masters of building can be compared to a house painter, which level the walls of a residential house, using a special tool. So the master builds up the material, then aligns, forming the surface of the nail.
Brushes for acrylic - a tool with a round surface (less often with a flat surface) and a practically rigid long pile. Gel brushes are square or rectangular, sometimes narrowed to the end. Most of the brush for the gel is flat, it provides comfort to the master for nail extensions, if the gel is viscous or fluid. On such brushes, the pile should be rigid so that it is convenient to apply the gel.
Sculptural brushes or brushes for modeling
Thanks to such a brush, client's nails turn into a kind of boundless world, which is painted by the master's fantasy - it can be individual flowers, or maybe a whole composition of flowers. These brushes are slightly smaller than the brushes for modeling. They have a sharp, thin tip, as in the work of the master of nail design there are many small molding elements.
Paint brushes
This is a very delicate tool, it is needed for drawing the finest and smallest elements (curls, openwork meshes and other design elements). There are a lot of such brushes: with a short and long nap, brushes curved at an angle. What kind of brush to choose the master decides based on the wishes of the client.
Fan Brushes
This brush is similar to a fan with a handle. They are necessary to work with such elements as sparkles, mica, in order to transfer halftones in the shading of the pigment.
Brushes for Chinese painting
The so-called Chinese painting has long won the hearts of many women and because of the huge demand for this art there are a lot of special brushes - the masters call them "chinese". Basically, such brushes are sold in sets. Each other is characterized by the width of the nap. In some brushes this kind of brush is angled, which makes it easier for the master to perform the techniques typical of the Chinese painting.
