The rigidity of the nail file <\/span>is one of the most important criteria for choosing a manicure tool.<\/span> This indicator is measured in Grits and indicates the degree of abrasiveness of the file.<\/span> A few decades ago, there was simply no possibility of at least some choice of files – in stores one could find exclusively metal products, at best of two types of rigidity.<\/span> Today the problem has been solved and, on the contrary, a huge selection makes you think – which of the hundreds of file options to choose and how they differ from each other.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The numbers printed on the packaging or the tool itself will tell you about the hardness of the file.<\/span> It is at this indicator that you should look first of all – not at the shape, size or color of the nail file, but at its abrasiveness.<\/span> Indeed, it will depend on how much Grit is determined for the product whether it is suitable for working with nails.<\/span> A simple rule is that the higher the number on the nail file, the more suitable it is for thinner nails.<\/span> In the arsenal of professional nail design masters there are different files, because specialists have to work with nails of different thicknesses, densities, natural and artificial.<\/span> When choosing a nail file “for yourself”, be sure to study for which nails this or that option is suitable.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

HARDNESS OF A NATURAL NAIL FILE<\/span><\/h2>\n

Saws are <\/span>classified into several groups <\/span>by hardness<\/span> <\/span>.<\/span> <\/span>Among them there are those that will be ideal for the care of natural marigolds.<\/span> <\/span>In no case should their abrasiveness be lower than the 180 grit mark – such<\/span> <\/span>nail files are suitable <\/span>in terms of <\/span>rigidity <\/span>only for extended manicure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Natural nails are thinner and softer.<\/span> They are brittle, easily injured.<\/span> For processing natural marigolds, choose files with high abrasiveness, but do not overdo it – products with parameters above 900 will not cope with filing even a very thin and soft nail.<\/span> They are used for finishing and polishing the nail plate, making it smooth and shiny.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT IS THE BEST FILE HARDNESS FOR ARTIFICIAL NAILS<\/span><\/h2>\n

The peculiarity of <\/span>manicure files <\/span>on artificial nails is low <\/span>rigidity <\/span>.<\/span> To the touch, such instruments are coarser, even rough.<\/span> Their coating is grainy.<\/span> In most cases, nail artists specializing in gel polish manicure use files with a value of 180 grit.<\/span> This parameter of the file makes it suitable both for processing the edge of a dense nail and for cutting off old coatings without the risk of injuring the nail plate.<\/span> But if acrylic is used for building, you should choose an even more abrasive file (120-100 grit).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Extension of nails is a real art that allows you to create exquisite beauty even on the smallest fragments of natural nails.<\/span> To achieve the highest result of the work, the master has to have a variety of nail files in his arsenal.<\/span> The specialist works not only with nails of different density, but also with different techniques, carries out the procedure for preparing nails for coating in various ways.<\/span> he definitely cannot do without special files.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The most optimal file for material<\/span><\/h3>\n

The widest selection of <\/span>nail files <\/span>not only of very different <\/span>rigidity, <\/span>but also made of a wide range of materials<\/span> <\/span>is presented on the market<\/span> <\/span>.<\/span> The most affordable nail files are made of paper similar to emery.<\/span> Such products are really inexpensive and are presented in an expanded range, although they have some disadvantages, for example, difficulties in hygienic processing.<\/span> Emery files can only be sterilized in an ultraviolet sterilizer.<\/span> They serve a short time and often require replacement.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The abrasiveness of manicure files <\/span>made of glass or crystal is also presented in a fairly wide range.<\/span> Such products are most often used for working with natural nails, allowing you to achieve truly flawless results.<\/span> Minus – fragility and high price.<\/span> In case of careless handling, the file will have to look for a replacement.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
