How to find the perfect brush for gel nail modeling

The gel builder brush is the most important nail tool for nail sculpting at home and in the nail salon. Therefore, it's important to do your research before purchasing. The emmi®NAIL online shop offers a large selection of professional gel brushes. To help you keep track, we've compiled the most important points for purchasing good brushes for gel nails.

The biggest difference between brushes is the material used for the bristles: synthetic or real hair . Real hair brushes retain moisture better and are more resistant to chemicals. Therefore, we recommend real hair brushes for acrylic nails .

For gel nails, synthetic hair brushes are differentiated by length, width, and brush shape . For thicker builder gels, choose a wider brush, size 6. For thinner gels, choose a narrower brush, size 4. For working close to the nail edge, the cat's tongue shape is preferred.

Which brush should I use for baby boomers?

Baby Boomer nails are characterized by a particularly simple look. Typical features include a flowing gradient from the tip to the nail bed and a pinkish to milky color. Unlike French nails, the white nail tip is designed as a gradient. Therefore, Baby Boomer nails lack hard contours and are considered a special form of the ombré look. The white tip gently transitions into pink.

The nail design owes its name to the generation it originated from. The post-war years between 1946 and 1960 saw a high birth rate—hence the so-called baby boomers. And it was precisely this generation that made this type of nail design a trend. Today, the timeless look enjoys great popularity among all generations.

With the comb brush, you can easily achieve the trendy baby boomer look. This gel brush is a very fine, high-quality synthetic hair brush. It is ideal for modeling artificial nails with all UV and LED gels. The flat, narrow tip is particularly popular and suitable for all areas of nail modeling. The brush is also acetone-protected and, thanks to the wooden handle and silver tip, rests comfortably on the hand.
The clamp fits comfortably in your hand and ensures comfortable work. Try it for the ombré look , too.
