Hello my lovelies! Today's post is all about brushes. Nail art brushes to be precise. I'm always looking for the best ones out there, so when I saw this brush kit from the Born Pretty Store I just had to try it out. They were kind enough to send it to me and I've been testing it out in the past weeks, so now I can tell you what I think. First off, here's how what I'm talking about.
Born Pretty Store nail art brushes* |
The kit consists of 4 detail brushes of different sizes. Each brush comes in a different plastic tube, which is very nice because it allows for them to get stored properly without being ruined. A lot of brushes come with little plastic caps, but they usually come off easily and it's very annoying. I think these longer tubes are a great idea. I tried to photograph the brushes next to a ruler so you can see how big the bristles actually are (size is in centimeters).
As you can see, there is a good size variety in here and that's a good thing. However, the smallest brush is still not small enough to do really thin lines. I would say that it either needs a bit of trimming or you need a fifth brush to complete the collection. Another thing is that one of the brushes had a few stray bristles that I needed to trim.
Other than that, I think these brushes are great for both acrylic paints and normal nail polish. I have used them for both and they were great each time. I have used them with acrylics for my sunflower nails from a couple of weeks ago.
And then I have used them with nail polish for my Sagittarius nails from last week.
All in all, I think this is a great set to build your brush collection for a very affordable price. If you wanna check them out, you can find the brushes here. Don't forget to use code MFL91 at checkout to get 10% off your order!
