With the right tools and techniques, cleaning your nail polish brush can be a breeze. In this guide, we'll take you through the steps to clean your brush thoroughly, so it's just like new.

 

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

Step 2: Remove Excess Polish

Start by wiping off any excess polish from the brush with a paper towel. Gently press the bristles onto the paper towel to remove as much polish as possible.

 

Step 3: Soak in Nail Polish Remover

Next, pour enough nail polish remover into the small dish or container to cover the bristles of the brush. Dip the brush into the nail polish remover and let it soak for a few minutes. This will loosen any remaining polish from the bristles.

 

Step 4: Clean the Brush

After soaking, remove the brush from the nail polish remover and rinse it under warm water. Apply a small amount of mild soap or dishwashing liquid to the bristles and use the soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the brush. Be sure to get in between the bristles to remove any remaining polish.

 

Step 5: Rinse and Dry

Rinse the brush under warm water again to remove any soap or dishwashing liquid. Gently pat the bristles with a paper towel to remove excess water, then lay the brush flat on a clean paper towel to air dry. Make sure the brush is completely dry before storing it.
