The most common manual nail files are made of cardboard and usually have different grits on the sides.
Here are a few common nail files.
Wooden nail files: These are similar to emery boards, but they are made of wood instead of cardboard. They are also available in different whole grains.
Metal nail files: These manual nail files are made of stainless steel and can be a bit rough for natural nails. They are more suitable for manicures.
Sponge Nail Files: These are extra thick pad manual nail files with no paper backing. They are available in a variety of grits and can be sterilized and sanitized.
Choosing the best manual nail file for you depends on your needs.
After talking about the types of nail files, let’s talk about the number of nail files. Generally, there are four different sizes of nail files.
Rasp (80-100 grit): For shaping acrylic or gel nail enhancements and filing down thickness and length
These manual nail files have fewer grit particles, so they are very abrasive manual nail files and are not recommended for natural nails.
Medium Grain File (180 grit): For lightly polished dips, acrylic or gel enhancements, and for filling free edges of natural nails
These nail files are less abrasive because they contain more grit particles. But like rasps, they’re not recommended for polishing natural nails.
Fine Grain File (240-600 grit): For smoothing and finishing work on dips, acrylics, wraps and gels. They are also great for removing natural oils and invisible cuticles.
These manual nail files are minimally abrasive and soft enough to gently polish the natural nail bed without thinning and causing nail damage.
Ultra-fine grit file (600-2400 grit): Used to create high gloss and manicure effects on natural nails, making the nails look like they’ve been top-coated
When you put your fingers on these nail files, they are smooth to the touch. They are also used to prepare the surface of your natural nails for polishing, shining, finishing and removing ridges and stains.
