The Kodi Professional nail brush range includes tools for sculpting, artistic painting, and working with gel, acrylic, and polygel. Choosing the right brush significantly affects the quality of the manicure, the technician’s speed, and the precision of the design.
Main types of nail brushes
Gel modeling brushes
This is one of the most popular categories in the professional nail industry. These brushes are used to apply gel and spread it evenly across the nail plate.
The following shapes are available in the catalog:
- Oval (oval-shaped);
- Square (straight);
- Angular (slanted);
- Round.
Oval brushes are ideal for applying material evenly and for self-leveling gel. Straight Square brushes are convenient for creating clear nail architecture and working on the cuticle area. Angular brushes help create precise lines and work in hard-to-reach areas.
Brushes for acrylic and polygel
For acrylic systems, it is recommended to use brushes with natural bristles—they are more flexible and denser. These brushes hold the monomer and material better.
It is also recommended to use brushes with natural bristles for acrygel or polygel.
The following items are available:
- acrylic modeling sticks;
- polygel tips;
- 2-in-1 models.
Combination models are particularly popular, as they allow you to work with different material textures at the same time and help save space in a craftsman’s toolkit.
Nail Design and Nail Art
Thin brushes with long bristles are used for artistic designs. They allow you to create:
- monograms;
- thin lines;
- geometric elements;
- floral designs;
- French manicure;
- ombre effects.
The most popular types:
Liner brushes ensure maximum precision when drawing fine details. Ombre Brushes are used to create gradients and smooth color transitions.
Materials for braids
Kodi Professional brushes are primarily made with synthetic bristles.
Advantages of synthetic bristles:
- easy to clean;
- long service life;
- a stable shape of the strands.
Natural bristles are more commonly used in brushes for acrylic and polygel systems because they hold liquid better.
How do I choose a manicure brush?
For Beginners
It's best to start with versatile models:
- Oval #4–6;
- Square #4;
- Master Brush 2-in-1.
These brushes allow you to perform most basic procedures.
For professional craftsmen

- gel;
- polygel;
- thin lines;
- the ombre technique;
- For 3D design.
By brush shape
- Oval, Square, Angular — versatile shapes;
- Liner — for detailed designs.
Ear Care
To make your brushes last longer:
- Clean the brushes after each use;
- Do not leave the brush in the liquid;
- Store horizontally or under the protective cap;
- Use separate brushes for different materials.
Improper maintenance causes the blades to become warped and results in a loss of precision during operation.
