Nail files are essential for every nail stylist. There are many types on the market, made from different materials and shapes. What you should pay the most attention to is the grit (or grain) of the file. The numbers referred to on files 80, 100, 180, 240 relate to the number of grains per 1 cm2 of the file. The lower the grade - the coarser the grit.

• Coarse - 80 grit: Used for removing edges and other elements from the nail plate. They are mainly used by more experienced nail stylists, as they are relatively easy to damage.
• Medium grit - 100 grit: These are the most commonly chosen classic nail files. They are used for shaping natural nails, forming extended nails, as well as for applying gel.
• Fine - 180/240 grit: They have many applications and are very versatile. They are ideal for refining the edges, for filling nails with acrylic or gel, as well as for shortening and smoothing natural nails.
• Buffers - grit over 300: We distinguish the polishing levels, giving shine and luster to natural nails. They are used to complete the manicure, making it perfectly refined and more beautiful.

When using nail files of various grits, it is worth remembering that you should first use coarse grit and last - fine grit. Only this sequence is correct.
