The Roubloff GC63R is a high-performance series of angled (slanted) brushes designed for professional gel modeling and nail architecture. The unique diagonal cut of the "6" series provides a specialized ergonomic advantage, allowing for extreme precision in "carving" shapes and navigating the tight anatomical corners of the nail plate.
Brush Highlights
-
Angled (Slanted) Geometry: The diagonal profile is engineered for "cutting" crisp lines. This makes it the premier tool for creating sharp French smile lines and applying gel to the side walls (lateral folds) without flooding the skin.
-
Stiff Synthetic Hair: These brushes use high-tension synthetic fibers that offer the necessary "snap" and resistance to manipulate heavy builder gels, polygel (acrygel), and thick base coats.
-
Precision Architecture: The slanted edge allows the technician to apply pressure more effectively at specific points, making it easier to "tamp" material into the apex and thin it out toward the edges.
-
Birchwood Handle: Features the signature lightweight, seasoned birch handle, providing the balance and steady grip required for high-stakes sculpting and extensions.
Model Numbers & Sizing
The GC63R line scales the width of the slanted head to match the technician's speed and the size of the nail bed:
| Size | Model Number | Recommended Use |
| #4 | GC6-04,0RN | Detailing: Ideal for small nail plates, precise French carving, and detailed side-wall work. |
| #6 | GC6-06,0RN | The Professional Standard: The most versatile size for standard extensions and structural overlays. |
| #7 | GC6-07,0RN | High Speed/Coverage: A wider head for faster modeling on long extensions and larger thumb plates. |
Key Applications
-
French Smile Lines: The sharp diagonal tip is perfect for "sculpting" or "cutting" the gel to create a perfectly symmetrical French tip.
-
Acrygel / Polygel Manipulation: The stiff bristles allow you to "pat" the material into place with the flat of the brush while using the tip for edge refinement.
-
Cuticle Tucking: Use the long end of the slant to tuck gel perfectly into the corners of the cuticle area for a gap-free finish.
-
Ombre & One-Stroke: The slanted edge is excellent for "pulling" colors into a gradient or performing advanced "one-stroke" decorative gel painting.
Professional Care & Maintenance
-
UV/LED Shielding: Never leave the brush near an active lamp or in direct sunlight. Residual gel in the stiff fibers will cure instantly, destroying the brush’s precision edge.
-
Cleaning Protocol: Clean the bristles using a professional nail cleanser or by working a small amount of clear base coat through the hair and wiping it on a lint-free wipe.
-
Horizontal Storage: Always store the brush flat. This prevents liquids from seeping into the ferrule and damaging the birch handle or the internal adhesives.
-
Reshape the Slant: Before storing, ensure the bristles are wiped and pinched into a sharp, flat diagonal. Maintaining the "pointed" end of the slant is critical for the brush's function.
