When to use each grit?
Nail files are graded according to the grit per square inch. For instance, 80 spirits will have 80 pieces of sand in a square inch. A wrong determination choice could damage your clients’ nails, and using the correct decision for every situation is crucial for your nail protection.
- 80 grit: Extra Coarse- This grit level helps remove gel overlays or shorten artificial nails; it is not recommended to use it for natural nails.
- 100 grit: A bit coarse but still can be used for shaping the sidewall of artificial nails or hard toenails.
- 150 grit: If you want to blend your nail tips, 150 grit is a great option. You can use it for over-the-top filling.
- 180 grit: This one is the medium file, and it’s used in nail plate preparation. You can use it to give artificial nails a beautiful shape and a smooth finish. However, if your nails are hard, then don’t use them for natural nails.
- 240 grit: It is the softest and finer grit. You can use it to shape your hard natural nails and use it in the nail plate presentation before the enhancement product.
- 4000 grit: This grit is the smoothest and is used to remove ridges and smooth the nail surface. These are the finest files and consider finishing files.
