Care & Sterilisation

Keep your nail art brushes performing at their best with these care steps:

Cleaning after each use: Gently wipe excess product from bristles using a lint-free wipe soaked in brush cleaner or isopropyl alcohol. For gel residues, use a gel brush cleanser — never cure gel on the bristles.

Deep cleaning (weekly or as needed): Soak bristles in brush cleaner for 2–3 minutes, then gently reshape with your fingers. Rinse with clean brush cleanser if necessary. Never use acetone — it will damage synthetic bristles.

Reshaping: After cleaning, gently reshape the bristle tip to its original form (flat oval for gel brushes, pointed for liners). Allow to air-dry with bristles facing down or horizontally.

Storage: Always replace the protective cap when not in use. Store horizontally or bristle-down in a brush holder. Keep away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and UV lamps — UV exposure will cure residual product and ruin the bristles.

Replacement: Replace when bristles begin to splay, lose their shape, or no longer hold a clean edge. With proper care, professional nail art brushes typically last 6–12 months of regular salon use.

FAQs

How do I clean gel from my nail art brush?

Never let gel cure on the bristles — this will permanently ruin the brush. After each use, gently wipe bristles with a lint-free wipe soaked in brush cleanser or isopropyl alcohol. For stubborn residue, soak briefly (1–2 minutes) in brush cleanser, then reshape and cap. Never use acetone on synthetic bristles.

What is the difference between a liner brush, a gel brush, and a gradient brush?

Each brush shape serves a distinct purpose. A liner brush (e.g., NBE-01) has a very narrow, fine tip for drawing thin lines, intricate details, and cuticle edging. A gel brush (e.g., NBE-04, NBE-06) has a wider, oval-shaped bristle head designed to pick up and spread gel or builder gel evenly across the nail surface. A gradient/ombre brush (e.g., NBE-07) has elongated, straight bristles that blend two colours seamlessly by dabbing and patting along the transition zone.

Can I use these brushes with regular nail polish as well as gel?

Yes. STALEKS EXPERT brushes are compatible with all types of nail products — gel polish, hard gel, builder gel, acrylic paint, regular lacquer, and nail art paints. Clean the brush with the appropriate solvent for the product used (brush cleanser for gel, acetone for lacquer).

How do I choose the right brush size?

Match the brush width to your intended work area. For fine details, intricate patterns, and cuticle-area precision, use a narrow liner (NBE-01, 1mm width). For full-nail gel application on average nail sizes, the 4mm gel brush (NBE-04) gives good control. For larger nails, full-coverage gel application, or builder gel sculpting, the 6mm gel brush (NBE-06) covers more surface in fewer strokes. For gradient and ombre designs, the 7mm gradient brush (NBE-07) provides the width needed for smooth colour transitions.
