Nail brushes with different tips
Each ombre brush differs in shape and purpose, so it’s worth choosing a model suited to a specific technique:

- sponge brush – allows quick and easy creation of a bold ombre effect,
- round brush – ensures precise application for more intricate decorations.
How do ombre brushes work?

- synthetic bristles – resistant to cleaning products, ideal for gel and hybrid techniques,
- sponge tips – great for intense color shading.
