My absolute favourite brushes, I use them every day and they’re super affordable! Different colour choices too, I have the pink ones. They’re very fine and work well for tiny details, my most used is the 8mm one

I use these a lot but they’re definitely on the pricier side and don’t perform any better or worse than cheaper brushes!

I use these for clean up and you get a few different sizes so they work for doing nail art with too! Especially the smaller ones, you can do a lot of floral designs and things with this type of brush

I like a super fine grit nail file and use these ones. They’re my go to for filing and shaping because they leave the free edge super smooth and they don’t leave any snags

Affordable and does the job perfectly! The one I use most and end up repurchasing. Definitely worth having, makes life easier so you don’t have to hack at your cuticles to push them back

The best sponges I’ve found for ombré nails, super dense and soft! They don’t leave those annoying craters in the ombré design and they absorb water nicely. They also don’t disintegrate on the nail which is very important! I hate when sponges leave l...
