- Bristle material
- Pure Kolinsky sable for acrylic Kolinsky holds monomer and snaps back to a fine point, which gives consistent beads.
- Brush size
- Mid sizes (roughly 8 to 12) for most sculpting; smaller for detail Too small means many beads per nail, while too large is hard to control near the cuticle.
- Crimp and ferrule
- Firmly crimped metal ferrule that does not shed Shed hairs get trapped in the acrylic.
- Cleaning
- Clean with monomer only, never acetone Acetone dries out and splays sable bristles.
