I have Saviland brushes but I can never get a good sized bead. I thought it was too little monomer, or too much. Because they start setting on the brush before I can get it down. Or even blend anything.
:). It's really interesting all this info. I had not idea about. One question: why do so many people flick the starch treatment rather than placing it in 175F hot water for 1 min. as the manufacturer instructs? Then pat dry and soak in monomer?
@midnight i not sure I usually prep my brushes the way she did but my Davila did brushes I did dip in 175 degree water I used a thermometer to make sure it was that temp first I do know that pure kolinsky brushes you don’t want to dip in hot water I’ve seen people do it and it ruined them however my saviland ones did just fine in the water per the I structions as well as my liner brushes I do that with
@@torischwartz745 Thnx So much! I was fretting about how hot warm is. When I heated the water, I immersed the bristles, pretend painted , drawing up, but did not remove from the water. When I pat dry and submerged into monomer: only saw the trade of the solvent to water ration at 2 drops and tiny broken dots of what didn't make a drop. I never saw a film like I had on the water surface. How are we sure, that there is no soap left when the wax could be so emulsified it appears it is water or contain some kind of fine essential oil? Discarding the monomer and dipping again? Funny way to remember boiling stages for people who get stuck at work without thermometer: 160 degrees=shrimp eyes, but is not yet right to skip this, but when you see CRAB EYES (a larger bubble that no longer clings to pan bottom but ascends to the surface) is almost exactly 175 degrees! Perfect. And great for green tea too.
I really hate the cow print saviland brushes! They are simply aweful. Clump up after 2 fingers! Been doin' nails since 1997 and NEVER used trash 🗑 like that EVER!!!
It’s great for starting out when nail products are soooo expensive
