When it comes to creating intricate and beautiful nail art, having the right brushes is essential. Each brush has different function to create a perfect art:

1. Detail Brush

• Use: Perfect for precision work. This brush is typically fine-tipped and ideal for intricate designs, like small lines, dots, or tiny details in floral patterns.
• Size: Very fine, usually between 5mm to 7mm long.

2. Striping Brush

• Use: Used for creating long, straight lines or stripes. This brush has a thin, elongated bristle and is perfect for geometric designs, striping, or adding border lines to patterns.
• Size: Thin and long, generally around 10mm to 14mm.

3. Flat Brush

• Use: Best for one-stroke techniques, blending colors, or shading. This flat, square-tipped brush is excellent for creating soft gradients or ombré effects.
• Size: Medium length with a flat, wide tip.

4. Angled Brush

• Use: Ideal for precise corner work or creating sharp-edged designs like angled French tips. The angled bristles give more control when working on curved areas.
• Size: Similar to the flat brush but cut at an angle.

5. Fan Brush

• Use: Great for creating airbrush-like effects, glitter placement, or sweeping colors across the nail in a light, feathery motion. This brush has a wide, fan-like bristle arrangement.
• Size: Wide and fanned out.

6. Dotting Tool (Technically not a brush, but essential)

• Use: For creating dots, flowers, or even marbling effects. It’s a dual-ended tool with different sized balls on each end for various dot sizes.
• Size: Comes in different diameters for large and small dots.

7. Liner Brush

• Use: Similar to the detail brush, but typically longer. This brush is great for creating long, continuous lines and delicate swirls or curves.
• Size: Thin, long, and flexible.

8. Round Brush

• Use: Perfect for drawing curves and thick or thin lines by adjusting pressure. It’s versatile and ideal for creating flower petals, leaves, or other organic shapes.
• Size: Rounded tip with a medium length.

9. Cleanup Brush

• Use: This small, flat brush is used for cleaning up excess polish around the cuticles after painting. Dip it in acetone or polish remover for precise cleanup.
• Size: Small and flat, typically 3mm to 5mm wide.

10. Square Brush

• Use: Often used for filling larger areas with polish or creating a squared-off French tip. It provides more coverage in fewer strokes.
• Size: Wide, with a squared-off tip.

Having these brushes in your nail art toolkit will give you the flexibility to create a wide range of designs, from simple dots and lines to intricate details and patterns.
