How to choose the grit of the nail file?
There are four types of grit for nail files. They can have the same grain on both sides, a 100/100 file for example, or two different grains, for example 180/240. Do you know how to choose the grit of the nail file? Today, your nail supply expert Maryton gives you answers in this article.
As a matter of fact, the finer the grain, the more abrasive the file. Conversely, the thicker the grain, the softer the lime. That is why nail files with a fine grit of 240 are reserved for natural nails, because they are very soft.
Nail files with a medium grit 180 have an intermediate abrasive level, they can be used on the nails of the feet or more to reduce the opacity of the covering gels in nail prosthesis.
Finally, there are coarse files 80 or 100 which are intended for artificial nails. Their roughness allows them to remove excess gel by filing hard surfaces, but also to shape resin or gel when applying false nails.
