Which nail file is best for me?
Choosing the right file is crucial for effective and gentle nail care. Our LUX files offer a wide selection to meet all nail care needs. Whether Salino, Grade, Banana or Half Moon - each file has its own special properties and advantages. In this article you will learn more about the differences and possible uses of our files.
Differences between nail files:
Salino file
The Salino file is straight and flat, ideal for precise work and shortening nails. Its shape allows for even pressure distribution, which is particularly beneficial for even nail shapes. This file is available in 100/100 and 100/150 grits. The coarse side is ideal for removing gel layers, while the finer side smooths the nails.
Grade file
The Grade file is characterized by its straight shape, which is particularly suitable for filing the nail edges straight. This file is ideal for shaping precise edges and achieving an even length. It is available in 80/100 and 100/180 grits, making it versatile for shortening and smoothing nails.
Banana File
The banana file has a curved shape that perfectly adapts to the natural growth of the nail. It is particularly useful for filing the edges of the nail and reaching hard-to-reach areas. Available in 80/100 and 100/100 grit, it offers a balanced combination of coarse and fine filing, ideal for shaping and smoothing nails.
Half moon file
The half moon file combines a straight side with a curved side, making it a versatile tool. This shape is particularly useful for precise filing and simultaneously working on the nail edges. Available in 100/180, 100/100 and 80/100 grit, this file is suitable for gently working on and polishing nails. The coarser side removes excess material, while the finer side ensures a smooth, clean finish.
The meaning of the grains:
- 80/100 Grit: This coarse grit is perfect for removing hard layers of gel or acrylic. It is ideal for preparing nails for new applications.
- 100/100 Grit: A medium grit that is good for general shaping and smoothing. It offers a good balance between removal and smoothness.
- 100/180 grit: This combination offers a coarse side for removing and a fine side for refining and polishing nails. Ideal for finishing and preparing nails for nail polish or gel.
Application tips for LUX files:
- File in one direction: Avoid filing back and forth to prevent nail splitting and breakage.
- File as needed: Choose the grit according to your application needs – coarse for hard materials, fine for details and polishing.
- Care of the files: Clean the files regularly to extend their lifespan and to work hygienically.
