" Hi, I’m Lillian with Salon de Scottsdale and on behalf of expertvillage.com we will now continue on the process of our French manicure. I’ve applied two coats of white coloring to the top part or the free edge of my fingernails. As you could see they’re messy, they’re not rounded, they’re not cleaned, they’re not shaped correctly so that’s where this brush comes in. I’m going to get this brush and I’m going to dip it in the cap full of nail polish remover that I’ve poured into the cap, so I will put some on the brush and kind of just rub it off on the paper towel. Dip again to kind of moisten it, rub it off and then I’m going to start shaping it. The nail polish remover removes the excess polish, I redip, recleaned, if you have too much nail polish remover on the brush it’ll run toward the front of the nail where you do not want the nail polish to come off. I’m cleaning the skin on the side, just shaping it round, redipping as I need to and continue on the rest of the nails."

on 8/2/2008 Very good detailed video, however what kind of brush was used to clean up the excess white on her nails? A brand name and/or what to look for when buying this type of brush would be very helpful. Thanks!
