@Chantelbossynails 5 лет назад

@CocoRenaee 6 лет назад

after a while if you continue to use acetone to clean your brushes it takes away the shine from the bristles and it makes the acrylic powder sticky and tacky when using later on. it will be really hard to get that residue off the brush since acrylic hardens. with practice you shouldnt have an issue with clumping on your brush.

@LVThN_von_Ach 5 лет назад

I agree, I would never use aceton to clean a real Kolinsky and never use a metal cuticle pusher.

This method should only be used when you have a dried piece of acrylic in your brush. You should not use acetone or brush cleaner while you are doing a set of nail or a fill on nails.

@victoriaa3201 3 года назад

another way is to soak your brushes into 100% pure acetone for an hour and 20 mins, then dip them into monomer and apply cuticle oil to hydrate them, this way you don’t have to scrape your brushes :)

@meticulousmanicurist 3 года назад

You should never put oil on your brush. The acrylic will lift with oil in the bristles

+TheMeticulousManicuristNailTutorials I wish I would have seen this sooner. I had a cheap acrylic kit and acrylic had gotten stuck in the brush and I used the monomer liquid to remove residue from my brush but apparently that didn't work. I don't have another acrylic brush to do my acrylics with. What's a good recommendation for a brush and a monomer that is odorless? The smell irritates my stomach unfortunately.

@meticulousmanicurist 7 лет назад

So sorry you couldn't revive your brush. There are so many brands of brushes. My favorite size and shape is a round #8. Just make sure is is kolinsky sable. Be sure to wipe the brush after every bead application on a paper towel to make sure there is no acrylic left on the brush. Monomer will not dissolve dried acrylic, but be sure to dip and wipe a couple of times before you put your brush up after finishing your application. I do not know of any odorless monomers, but if you ever find one you can post a comment to let others know.

@sunnysky9812 6 лет назад

Sally's Beauty Supply has an odorless kit. I just bought it. I am new to acrylics and just learning. I bought a regular kit and the smell was horrible in a 1 bedroom apartment but the odorless one, I couldn't smell at all, even though I was told it still had a smell to it.

@ynaartsasyouliveandbreathe3533 6 лет назад

You can buy odorless monomer but it's important to ventilate the area correctly. I've read that the classical monomer is actually non-toxic despite the unpleasantness, while the odorless one is toxic due to the additives that kill the smell. There are all sorts of tips and tricks online that help you minimise the smell in the environment.

@rosemarykiesler6773 6 лет назад

I have done this with my brushes. However I feel it dried out my brush. It doesn’t seem to hold liquid well anymore. Which makes it hard to get the ratios correct. Is there a way to fix that or just buy a new brush?

@meticulousmanicurist 6 лет назад

When the brushes are pure Kolinsky sable they shouldn’t be affected by the acetone. Trying to condition the brush and get the bristles back together will probably be a bigger pain in the booty buying another brush. I have a few of my favorite brushes on my online store and they last a long long long time I can use one brush for at least 8 -12 months and I use it every day all day long

@sarahgaspar2117 7 лет назад

Have you been using this method for a long time? Does it seem to wear/dry your bristles out any more quickly? In school they scared us from using acetone to clean dry acrylic from our brushes. I have been using my same trusty CND #8 round brush for 7 years, faithfully avoiding dried acrylic in my bristles. This is the first time I've ever had this problem and I'm not ready to let go of this brush!

@meticulousmanicurist 7 лет назад

I have always used this method. It does not harm your bristles at all. You just have to be careful not to press too hard when you are scraping the acrylic out. I never had a problem with my bristles until other people started "borrowing" my brush

@christinaleister1387 7 лет назад

I had the same experience in cosmetology school. We were told that we needed to share with our other students, which is an anxiety attack/OCD nightmare for me. After my polishes, brush on nail tip glue, acrylic brush, striper brushes were "borrowed" and returned to me two days later, I spent the most of that day in the supply room ungunking my brushes and prying my bottles open. 😫😡 This video was very useful. Tfs! I learned the hard way that no one "borrows" my tools and supplies anymore; we work hard, and pay good money, for our tools and supplies. So it pays to take good care of them so they last as long as possible. 💞

Monomer will not dissolve hardened acrylic. It is necessary to use acetone to save a brush when it becomes hard. It will not ruin it.

@LVThN_von_Ach 5 лет назад

@Oh So Glam I agree, it will eat the bristles and the cuticle pusher should be a wooden. We are talking about real hair here! To revive I'll rather use alcohol (that is the main ingredient of brush cleaner) and a mínimum of oil as conditioner and then back in to the monomer and reshape it.
