The Roubloff DSG3R is a specialized professional tool designed for "double exposition" and advanced gradient techniques. Often referred to as a "comb" or "feather" brush, it features a unique dual-length bristle design that allows nail technicians to blend colors seamlessly and create textured patterns with a single stroke.
Brush Highlights
-
Gradient Specialist: The "comb" edge—where bristles are cut at two different lengths—is specifically engineered to soften the transition between two colors for a perfect ombre or gradient effect.
-
Double Exposition: The dense base holds the product, while the longer, thinner tips "feather" the gel across the nail surface, eliminating harsh lines.
-
High-Quality Synthetic Hair: These fibers provide the necessary "snap" to move gel polish while remaining soft enough to create delicate, airbrushed transitions.
-
Flat Shape: The flat ferrule provides the surface area needed for full-nail coverage and broad, sweeping strokes.
-
Birch Handle: Features the signature lightweight, solvent-resistant burgundy birchwood handle for maximum control.
Size Guide & Technical Specifications
The DSG3R line offers different widths to accommodate varying nail sizes and design scales:

| #6 | DSG-08,0RN | Broad ombre transitions and full-nail "shabby chic" textures. |
Key Techniques
-
Seamless Ombre: Apply two colors side-by-side. Use the DSG3R to "comb" the colors together horizontally or vertically, creating a soft, professional blur.
-
Textured Art: Ideal for creating realistic hair, grass, or vintage "distressed" textures by dragging the sparse tips through wet gel or paint.
-
Smoke Effects: Use the fine tips to softly feather a single color into a clear base for a "smoke" or "marble" look.
Professional Care & Maintenance
-
Avoid Acetone: To protect the delicate dual-length tips, clean only with clear base gel or a dedicated brush cleanser.
-
Directional Cleaning: Gently wipe the brush on a lint-free pad in a straight motion to ensure the "comb" bristles stay perfectly aligned.
-
Preserve the Tips: Because the longer bristles are sparse, they are more prone to splaying. Always reshape the brush to a flat, crisp edge before storing.
-
Horizontal Storage: Store flat to protect the ferrule and maintain the specialized geometry of the synthetic fibers.
