I had lifting problems wit my gel polish until I got the OPI gel polish brush. It is real small and forces me to apply the gel much thinner.
One of the things on my shopping list for IBS Las Vegas is a find polish brush that is the same size as the OPI brush but with a full size handle. The OPI brush handle is half the length of a regular brush handle and it drives me nuts. I love the bristle size, hate the handle length and with. Too skinny and too short of a handle. Anyone know of a gel brush that matches that description?
