I use the CND white gel in a bottle so the brush is just like a polish brush. When that runs out I am going to save the bottle just to use for the brush with other whites. Someone on here said they do this. Thanks. I also have a brush from LE that is for perfecting your smile line and I will use that at times. Angie Wingerter
