Buffer Block 120/120 10 pcs

Nail buffer block – features and grit

Grit is the most important parameter of any nail file or buffer block. In this model it is 120/120, so the buffer block works well for both gentle and more intensive smoothing of the nail. The ergonomic shape makes it easy to hold firmly and makes work more comfortable on every nail.

Unlike a flat nail file, this buffer block has a three-dimensional form that sits comfortably between your fingers. That makes it easier to guide it evenly over the whole surface of the nail plate, including the side edges, where uneven buffing is easy to get.

• Grit: 120/120 – universal for buffing and smoothing the nail plate.
• Use: natural nail plate, gel and other nail styling surfaces.
• Shape: ergonomic, comfortable in the hand while you work.
• Set: 10 pieces – a stock of buffer blocks for many nail sets.
• Quality: high-quality finish, easy to use for professionals and beginners alike.

How to use a buffer block in nail styling

• First shorten and shape the nails, e.g. with a disposable 160/210 nail file.
• Use the buffer block to buff the surface of the nail plate with even, light strokes – from the cuticles towards the free edge.
• For gel nail sets, use the buffer block to smooth the surface of the gel.
• Finally, remove the dust from the nail plate thoroughly, e.g. with a pink dust brush.

Work without too much pressure – when buffing the natural nail plate, the aim is to remove the shine, not to thin the nail. An evenly buffed surface is a good preparation of the nail plate for the next products in the nail set, e.g. a gel polish base coat or polish.

It is best to buff with the buffer block just before applying the first product, when the nails are already shortened and the cuticles are prepared. That way dust and grease from your fingers do not settle on the prepared nail plate again, which improves the durability of the whole nail set.

Buffer block for gel and the natural nail plate – uses

The 120/120 buffer block is a multi-purpose tool: it buffs the natural nail plate before the base coat goes on, and it also smooths the surface of builder gel once you have shaped it. This grit is not too aggressive, so it works well as a block for buffing the nail plate before any nail set, whether you work with gel polish, gel or acrylic. The block is mainly ideal for buffing the nail plate during nail prep, before applying the product, but it also works for buffing the natural nail plate between one nail set and the next.

Who the 120/120 block is for and how to choose a variant

The 120/120 buffer block is a great choice for professionals and for anyone just starting out with nail styling. The product comes in 90 and 120 grit variants and in packs of 10 and 100 pieces – the smaller pack suits home manicures or a trial, the larger one a busy salon. If you need a buffer block with a different grit, take a look at the 300/3000 block too. The set of 10 also makes work easier to organise: you can keep a block at every nail desk or in your mobile nail kit and have the rest in reserve. The handy size and the material the block is made of make it easy to control how much you have buffed the nail plate – you can see how its surface changes and stop smoothing at the right moment. A 120/120 grit is a safe choice for regular work smoothing the surface of the nails.

The buffer block is a basic accessory in a set of nail files and polishers – it lets you buff and evenly dull the nail before applying the product.
