Hi I am Kirsty Meakin from Naio Nails, and in this video I am going to answer a question
that everyone keeps asking. Everybody keeps asking how do I care for my brush,
so that's what we are gonna do.
Not Hair brushes , like you know for your hair, nail brushes.
I've got a selection of brushes here,
we have this great big enormous one, I've never used it,
but I'm still gonna show you how to care for it.
I have a couple of acrylic brushes here which are very similar sizes.
They have been used and used and used and used,
I definitely need some new brushes, you can never have too many brushes,
I will show you how to care for those and this is an art brush that has been used quite a lot
it's gotta a little bit of glitter in it or something or other
*Adam* There is glitter everywhere in here.
Yeah I don't know what it is.
but I'll show you how to revive that and make that better than it is.
I will get you a gel brush aswell, so I have a gel brush here and I'll show you how to
care for that as well.
So I am going to start with my acrylic brushes,
in this dampen dish here I have got some brush cleaner.
Now the brush cleaner will care for the brush so it won't strip it from too many oils,
it won't dry it out and make it brittle, it's the same as with like you know your natural
hair if you didn't condition it, it would go all horrible at the ends and then you need to cut it,
well you can't do that with your brushes,
you can't just cut the end of your brush off can you.
Because it will not work
What I'm gonna do it is, you can see it's not shaped or anything,
this has been on the side for a while.
So I am gonna submerge it into the liquid,
and give that a few seconds to just soak into the brush,
and then I'm gonna take, you can either use your lint free pads
or you can use some paper towel, it's up to you.
I like to use paper towel because it absorbs very quickly.
Now as I drag this I can see... if you can see here.
Excuse me I have no nails on okay, we are gonna do some nail videos, so I have no nails
on, don't scream and shout at me.
Oh MY GOD, she's got no nails on, her nails are so ugly,
I don't know why I always go and do an american accent,
I just love doing American accents because I love america.
So you can see that there is here...
some product in the brush.
I'm gonna show you how to clean that out.
You can just use pure acetone,
but you don't want to just use that.
So I've got another dappen dish here.
I've got some acetone and I'm gonna submerge it into the acetone,
and I'm gonna leave that for around 15 seconds.
(Kirsty counts very quickly) *Adam* They're very fast seconds.
Are they, are they too fast?
*Adam* Yeah they are way way too fast
See you have to do it like one mississippi two mississippi three mississippi
four mississippi five mississippi
*Adam* It's about 15 seconds now.
Is it?
*Adam* Yeah.
You're gonna pull this way.
Don't ever push your brush this way, it will ruin the bristles.
You are gonna pull it to the tip.
So you can see that it starts to soften the product,
you can see a bit of a change in the product,
it's gone a bit paler, so we are gonna do that again.
Just one more time that's all we are gonna do it
'cause we just wanted the product to start to break down.
Same again, we are gonna pull it towards the tip,
now we are gonna go into the brush cleaner.
What I like to do is get a little bit of... Blu Tack.
This is not chewing gum, this is Blu Tack.
Keep the brush nice and saturated.
You can turn the brush upside down,
and then rest it with some of the Blu Tack, against something,
so you know that it's all being saturated,
but I like to do it the opposite way around, because I want everythig to come to the tip.
A acrylic bottle.
*Adam* Does it go faster if you use the high speed bottle.
Of course yeah.
*Adam* Buh Dum Dum Tsh
So, what that is doing is letting the liquid draw to the tip,
and it will start to separate the product from the brush.
See we're reviving the brush, from it's death.
So before it dies we're gonna fix it.
So after a roughly around one minute.
We didn't count one mississippi two mississippi three mississippi, we roughly did a minute.
We are gonna do the same again.
And then we are gonna wiggle the brush...
still to the tips, we are gonna go back in and do the same.
So just go into your liquid, into that brush cleaner.
Keep wiggling it so, as you wiggle it across like that,
it's gonna force the product out of the brush,
there's just one little tiny bit in there now.
So I'm gonna give that one more minute.
You definitely can't rush this process if you do,
then you will end up with a jacked-up brush
So we're gonna do the same again
able to see the bristles start to open and you can see if there is any product left in.
and i think we are pretty much good to go now.
I am gonna take some acrylic liquid it doesn;t really matter what acrylic liquid, as long
as it is the one that you use. and i am just going to saturate all of those bristles and
then i am going to come back to the paper towel, using a separate section, a nice and
clean area, and spinning the brush in my hand oh, lets take the blu tac off i don';t need
that.
Spinning the brush in my hand i am gonna reshape the brush, there you are it is fixed, and
revived and it is ready to use.
Now if you leave a brush for more than i would say more than three days in a pot without
being touched, when you come to use it the liquid will have changed it';s colour and
it will have gone a little bit yellow, so you could never just go straight into the
liquid and start to work with it you would always need to clean that brush to get rid
of that discolouration, and if your brush is starting to go yellow then oh my god you
are not busy enough, because if you are not touching that brush for three days you need
more customers.
So that is that brush done, as you can see, these two were very similar at first they
were both a little bit you know, messed up and needed to go to the brush hospital, thats
what it should look like this is what it should not look like.
so lets have a look at this.
let's get a bit more brush cleaner, so as i clean through this on the brush cleaner
alone is actually cleaning any product from the bristles, because that is shaping straight
away.
and if we go like this, with the bristles, we can see there is no product in there it
is all clean, so sometimes it is as simple as that.
i am gonna go into the liquid the acrylic liquid and now spin the brush in my hand so
i am turning it to a nice point.
you would do this with even if you had.
like this brush is completely round, it's not crimped here.
So you see this one is crimped and as i turn it.
it is thinner here, because it is crimped and this one is a complete barrel.
You would do this turning the brush in the hand to make it go to a nice point with that
kind of brush as well.
it doesn;t matter if it is crimped or not.
This humongous brush.
I have never used it but i looked at it and thought I like a challenge , so i think we
may use this one day but it is a little bit messed up so it does need to go into the brush
cleaner.
wow that soaked up all of the brush cleaner , we need a little bit more of that.
let's have a look at what this is like.
Why would you need a brush that big, because i mean , nobody, do people have nails big
enough to need that size brush.
Some people like to do one bead application, which i do, i do a lot of one bead applictation.
but i don't need a brush quite this big, but i wanna see if i can do it.
with this humonous brush
or maybe it is for like, when you've got bloke with really big.
Like giants?
Yeah
Like the mountain, from Game of Thrones.
you don't watch that do you
He's a big dude
Like the BFG
if you were doing the BFG's nails
God at least the person i said was real.
If you are doing the BFG' nails you know, as you might do.
You would need a big brush like this.
i am gonna put this into the acrylic liquid now and then give it a final twist and turn
pulling it to a nice pointso that brings all of the bristle back into shape.
and then you can put the lid on.
if this brush isn't shaped nicely to a point you would never get the lid on, Gel Brush
now it is always a good idea to have a gel brush with the lid on that is always brilliant,
but i know that that is not always possible.
leaving the gel brush slightly taccy will always hold the bristles into shape.
however if you don't have a brush with a lid you need to keep it clean so you can still
use the brush cleaner and clean that through.
still wiggling it, and then pulling it into a nice flat point like that, so it is like
a knife, that is all you need to do with a gel brush and you can leave that.
obviously there is no product in that now, so you can leave it out, put it in a pot,
but if you have a lid for it that would be even better, because you could literally just
get a little bit of gel residue, i'll shwo you come on let me show you what you could
do.
a little bit of gel residue and the you would simply wipe it in to a nice sharp point and
some of the residue of the gel would still remain in the brush because you have not gone
into brush cleaner or anything like that, and only gently wiped it and you haven;t given
it a good scrub or anything.
and that will hold the brush bristles into shape nicely aswell.
NOw Nail art brushes this nail art brush has been through the mill, it has got acrylic
on it and alsorts going on.
so what i would do with this, i would definitely use a lint free pad , get the brush cleaner
put a little drop on there.
and then wrap it around the bristles. and spin the brush pull it too you, you can see
on there, all of that and it didn't even look that bad did it.
no
you are gonna do it again, and you'll repeat this until it is completely clean if you do
gel art with art brushes you know you have gotta make sure that is clean, so you want
to use some gel residue solution first and then go into your brush cleaner, and you wanna
make sure that is left with a nice point.
just like that.
before you use your nail art brush if you are gonna use it for gel i would give it a
wipe over with gel residue wipe off solution, and if you are gonna use if for nail art as
in free hand art with acrylic paints or water colours rinse it in water first so you will
go into the water and just pull that through.
exactly the same as we did just
There you are all of them brushes are done, lets have a look at them., we've been to the
brush hospital, they look so much better.
so all of those brushes are revived ready to use, lovely jubbly you didn't need to throw
them in the bin, they are ready to use. as long as you care for your brushes and you
look after them, they will last you a long time, you need the brush to be in it's best
condition to get the best result there is no point in using a really rubbish brush to
try and get the mona lisa on your nails, it just won't work.
okay
so make sure you care for your brushes, i hope this has been helpful for you i hope
