Multi-Technique Dual Brush - 1 PCS

Application tips

Before first use

Indigo brushes are handmade, so individual pieces may vary slightly. However, each one undergoes thorough quality control, so you can be sure you'll receive a tool that meets all your expectations.

Each of our brushes is coated with a special coating to protect the bristles during transport. Before first use, remove this coating by gently rubbing the bristles with your fingers until the product crumbles completely. Note: This should be done gently, in the direction of the bristles, without pressing down on the brush at the base – this could cause permanent damage. Then, take a cotton pad soaked in Cleaner 1, enclose the brush in it, and wipe (in the direction of the bristles), giving it its final shape. Remember, Cleaner 1 should ONLY be used before using the brush for the first time! Tips for daily cleaning of the bristles during brushing can be found below.

In the hand-made process, individual hairs that stick out are a natural occurrence. Before using the brush for the first time, the sticking hair should be carefully separated from the rest and cut off as close to the base as possible. Similarly, we can remove individual hairs damaged during use, for example, by being pinched by the ferrule.

Care tips

• When applying the product, try not to soak the brush at the base. Instead of pressing the handle down, which could deform the bristles, let them "drink." This will preserve the tool's properties and give you greater control over the product as you work.

• To clean your brush after use (or during a color change), it's best to use a transparent, thinner hybrid base coat or top coat. Apply the product to a glass slide or cotton pad and use circular motions to dissolve any product residue visible on the bristles. Then, wipe with a dry cotton pad in the direction of the bristles.
• Always store brushes with the cap closed. Even thorough cleaning of the bristles does not guarantee complete removal of product residue, which can harden in sunlight or salon lighting.
• Except in exceptional circumstances (e.g., when heavily soiled), avoid using cleaners and other alcohol-based products, which can dry out the bristles and cause them to frizz. Also, avoid using Brush Cleaner, which is intended exclusively for acrylic brushes.
• While working, NEVER leave a capless brush in the light of a UV lamp. The rays can reach the brush from across the desk, hardening the product on the bristles.
• What if the product hardens on the brush and sticks the bristles together? There's a solution! Dip the brush in a pot of boiling water and wait for the product to dissolve. Note: The bristles shouldn't rest on the bottom of the pot, so choose a wide container where you can lay the brush flat, or hold the brush submerged in water until the hot water dissolves the hardened product.
• If you want to decorate with both light-cured products and acrylic or watercolor paints, remember not to use the same brush for both. Use one brush for watercolor and another for colored gels, hybrids, etc.
