Glitterbels Pinched Pastel Glitter Acrylic Brush Size 12

• Glitterbels Pinched Pastel Glitter Acrylic Brush, Size 12
• Professional oval-shape acrylic nail brush
• Large size for full acrylic set application
• Pastel glitter suspended handle design

Glitterbels Pinched Pastel Glitter Acrylic Brush in Size 12 is a professional oval-shape acrylic nail brush designed for smooth application of acrylic powders during acrylic set work. Size 12 is a large brush size — the larger head holds more product per pickup, which makes it efficient for building full acrylic sets rather than needing multiple bead pickups per nail. Oval shape gives even distribution and shaping control across the nail. Pinched pastel glitter handle design features moving glitter suspended in the handle body — aesthetic feature, not functional. Companion tool to the Glitterbels Clear Acrylic Liquid, HEMA-Free Acrylic Liquid and the wider acrylic powder range in the Glitterbels product family.

How to prepare (important — new brush)

New acrylic brushes come with bristles held in place by a light gum during manufacturing and shipping — this gum must be removed before first use for the brush to work properly. Gently flick or rub the bristles between your fingers to loosen and remove the gum, taking care not to bend or distort the individual bristles. Continue until 100% of the gum residue is removed. Once fully cleaned, soak the brush in acrylic monomer for a few minutes, then wipe onto paper towel to remove any remaining residue and precondition the bristles. The brush is now ready for use.

How to use

Pour a working amount of acrylic monomer (like the Glitterbels Clear Acrylic Liquid or HEMA-Free Acrylic Liquid) into a dappen dish. Dip the brush into the monomer, wick off the excess against the dish edge, then pick up powder from your acrylic powder tray using the wet brush to form the acrylic bead. Apply and shape the bead onto the nail. Between beads, wipe the brush on a lint-free paper towel to prevent product build-up in the bristles. At the end of the acrylic set, thoroughly clean the brush with fresh monomer, wipe on paper towel, and store with bristles pointing up or lying flat to preserve the brush shape between clients.

Who it's for

This brush is for professional nail techs doing acrylic set work — particularly full-set applications where the larger size 12 head efficiency matters. We've spent years helping clients in Codsall look and feel their best, and as a working salon, we know brush size selection matters practically for acrylic work — larger brushes for full sets and building shape, smaller brushes for detail work and refined application. Size 12 sits in the workhorse-for-full-sets category rather than detail-work sizing.

Safety and care: For professional use with acrylic monomer. Acrylic monomer is highly flammable and produces strong fumes — always use in a well-ventilated area, keep away from heat and open flames. Do not decant used monomer back into the bottle (contamination risk). Clean the brush thoroughly after each client — hardened acrylic residue in the bristles reduces brush performance and shortens brush life. Store bristles pointing up or lying flat to preserve shape. Do not use harsh solvents or chemicals other than nail-industry monomer for cleaning — other solvents can damage the bristles and glue holding them in the ferrule. Keep out of reach of children.
