Files

Nail files are tools for shortening, shaping, and working on natural and artificial nails. Depending on the grit, they are suitable for different work steps: coarse files work on gel and acrylic models, while finer grits are used for finishing or gently working on natural nails. Buffers mattify and smooth the nail surface, while polishing files ensure a smooth finish. Nail files are available in straight, curved, trapezoidal, and interchangeable versions.

Nail files for gel and acrylic nails

For gel and acrylic nailsmuch harder materials often need to be worked on than with natural nails. Correspondingly coarser nail files are suitable for this. In addition to the grit, the shape also plays a role.

Straight files allow for precise work on side lines and nail shapes. Curved and trapezoidal files can make working around the structure and nail bed easier. Which combination is optimal depends on the specific work step and personal working style.

Buffers and polishing files

For finer work, nail buffers and polishing filesare available. Buffers are used for matting and smoothing and can even out irregularities in a modelage. A polishing file, on the other hand, has particularly fine surfaces that can be used to smooth natural nails and polish them to a high shine.

These products therefore have a different task than classic modelage files and should also be distinguished from one another accordingly in the category.

Replacement files for professional studio use

In a nail studio, hygiene plays an important role alongside the work result. An interesting alternative to classic files are therefore replacement file systems. They combine a reusable metal handle with interchangeable abrasive strips of different grits.

This allows the filing system to be flexibly adapted to different work steps and requirements in the studio.

The right nail file for every work step

Whether natural nail, gel modelage, or acrylic nail – the optimal nail file depends on the material and the desired work step. Coarser grits are needed for greater removal, while finer files are intended for fine sanding and natural nail preparation. Buffers and polishing files complement the classic nail file for preparation and finishing.

FAQ

Different grit levels are suitable for gel nails depending on the step in the process. A 100/180 nail file is particularly versatile: the coarser side is suitable for working on the modelage, while the finer side can be used for minor corrections. Very coarse grit levels such as 80/80 are intended for removing harder modelage materials and are not suitable for natural nails.

The numbers indicate the grit of the file. As a general rule: the lower the number, the coarser the file. A 100/180 grit file has two sides of different coarseness and can therefore be used for various steps in nail modeling.

Natural nails should be treated with a finer grit. emmi®NAIL, for example, recommends 240/240 for gentle work during manicures and pedicures. Very coarse files, such as 80/80 or 100/100, are unsuitable for natural nails.

A nail file is primarily used for shortening, shaping, and working on nails and modeling material. A buffer has a finer abrasive effect and is used, among other things, for matting and smoothing the nail surface. Buffer files can also even out irregularities within a modeling application.

For studios, professional files in various grits as well as hygienic replaceable file systems are particularly interesting. emmi®NAIL offers replaceable files with reusable stainless steel handles and interchangeable abrasive sheets. In addition, files and buffers are available in bulk packs for regular studio use.
