Files

Glass nail files.

Metal nail files.

Durable, amenable disinfection and sterilization, but they are very rude and will be cause of the nails separating.

Paper nail file.

They are made of abrasive paper, glued on a plastic base. Paper nail files on a plastic base are not subject to disinfection and sterilization (this can be found in the section « disinfection and sterilization of the manicure tools»), they are suitable only for the individual usage. If you do a manicure or pedicure to someone else, it is better to use glass, metal or plastic ones (which can be cleaned, disinfected, sterilized) as well as disposable.

Abrasivity of the files is measured in grit, than more the number of grit than softer file (fine-grain surface). The nail files with 150 grit, 180 grit, 200 grit are suitable for natural nails depending on the thickness of the nail, than softer and thinner nails than softer files should be (higher number of grit). The form of blade does not play a big role you can choose the one you are more comfortable to hold.

You should start with the roughest and finish the softest side of the nail files. Some of the nail files have numbered sides according to the sequence in which to use.
