What's the best nail file for you?

It's important to choose the right nail file for the treatment you want to perform. The grain size of a nail file, also called grit, determines how fine or coarse the file is and therefore how intensively it works the nail surface.

Coarseness of the nail file:

Low grit (80-100): These are the coarsest nail files, ideal for quickly shortening artificial nails such as acrylic or gel nails. These files are not suitable for natural nails, as they can be too aggressive and damage the nails.
Medium grit (180): These files have a medium grit and are versatile. They are often used for shaping natural nails and artificial nails. This is a good choice for filing the edge of the nail without damaging it.
High-grit (240 and above): Fine files with a high grit are perfect for smoothing nail edges. These are ideal for natural nails and the final steps of a manicure, giving nails a soft and polished look.

Below you will find a standard guideline when it comes to the grit of a nail file:

80 = very coarse
100 = coarse
150 = medium coarse
180 = medium
240 = fine
280 = very fine

How do you choose the right nail file?

If you want to shorten your nails, choose a coarser file with a lower grit.
For shaping your nails without damaging them, a medium grit file is ideal.
If you want to smooth the nails, a fine file with a high grit is perfect.
To level or polish the nail, it is best to use a buffer block

Remember, using the right technique is just as important as choosing the right file. Filing in one direction prevents splitting and creates a neater finish.

Nail file for natural nails

For natural nails, it's important to choose a nail file that's gentle enough to prevent damage, yet effective enough to neatly shape the nails. A medium-grit nail file (180 grit) is ideal for shaping and maintaining natural nails. This file helps smooth the nails without weakening them. For a perfect finish and shine, use a fine file (240 grit or higher) to smooth the edges.

Nail file for acrylic nails

Acrylic nails are much stronger and thicker than natural nails, requiring a coarser nail file (80-100 grit) to effectively shorten and shape them. These coarse files allow you to quickly and easily achieve the desired shape. To smooth the nail after shaping, you can switch to a medium-grit file (180 grit) to create a nice, even surface.

Nail file for gel nails

Gel nails are less hard than acrylic nails, but still stronger than natural nails. A medium-grit file (180 grit) is usually suitable for filing gel nails into shape. For buffing the nails and smoothing the edges, you can use a finer file (240 grit or higher). This helps achieve a nice, smooth finish without damaging the gel surface.

Metal nail file

Our metal nail file is a basic file that you can then use with various file strips. This is a good alternative for heavy users who typically use a lot of nail files. This basic file is also available in plastic. (Link)
