I found this Designer Perfect Eye Liner Brush at Big Lots last week and thought I'd try one for its intended purpose, eye liner, and one for nail polish clean-up.
I've used many types of brushes in the past but there are a few reasons why I like this one the best.
- The fact that it's angled makes it versatile. I can clean a little (with the tip of the brush) or a lot (with the entire length of the brush).
- The bristles are white, which makes it easy to see if there's left-over nail polish on the bristles. This is especially nice when using dark nail colors.
- My favorite thing about this brush is that the bristle are very thin yet sturdy. Thin is important so that you don't remove too much polish and sturdy is nice so that you can really get in between the nail and cuticle area when cleaning.
I'm just seeing this brush pop up at my Big Lots, and hopefully this post will help someone that is still looking for the perfect clean-up brush or maybe you don't have one yet; either way, this is a nice way to stay well-polished for $1.00.
Do you use a brush for clean-up? If so, what type... Let me know if you pick this up and how you like it!
This is the first installment in a series of posts that I will call "Close-Up". This will feature tools that I use to make my manicuring life easier and maybe yours, too!
Today I will be showcasing the HandsDown Ultra Table Towels:
This item can be found online or in many beauty supply stores around the country.
I was tired of using paper towels because they would always slip around on my work surface and if I was using a fan, even blow away.
"Featuring a soft absorbent material on one side with a plastic backing on the other, lint-free HANDSDOWN® Ultra Protective Barrier Towels are perfect for manicures and pedicures, and durable enough for wiping and cleaning brushes."
These table towels are heavier in weight than a paper towel and because they are backed with plastic, when spills happen no damage is done to your work space. This is the ultimate in having that salon-feel at home.
Hope this this information comes in handy and finds you "well-polished"!
