Nail File 160/210 Half-Moon – 50 pcs

Nail file grit 160/210 – what each side is for

Grit describes the coarseness: the lower the number, the more aggressively the file abrades the nail plate. In the 160/210 model each side of the file has a different job, so one nail file replaces two tools of different grits.

• 160 side: lets you effectively shorten and shape the natural nail, leaving the nail plate smooth and even.
• 210 side: ideal for gently matting the nail plate, which improves the adhesion of gel polish, gel or acrylic before the nail set.
• Shape: half-moon, ergonomic in the hand when working on nails.
• Material: disposable paper nail file.

Thanks to two grits in one nail file, you don’t need to change tools between shortening and prepping the nail plate surface – just flip the file over. That saves time with every client and means fewer accessories on your manicure desk.

Half-moon shape and a disposable file

The ergonomic half-moon shape makes it easy to work freely around the nail and to shape nails near the cuticles, giving you precision and comfort. The file is disposable, which ensures a high level of hygiene – every client gets a new nail file that has not previously been used on anyone else.

Disposable files are convenient in the salon: you don’t have to prepare them for the next treatment like reusable files, and after use they go straight in the bin. The client can see that you are working with a new file, which builds trust in your salon and shows that you care about hygiene in every nail set.

How to use the 160/210 nail file – step by step

• Use the 160 side to shorten the nails and shape them, moving the file in one direction along the nail plate.
• Use the 210 side to gently matt the whole surface of the nail plate, especially near the cuticles and side walls.
• Remove the dust from the nail plate, e.g. with a dust brush, and move on to the next stages of the nail set.
• After the treatment, throw away the used file – it is a disposable paper nail file.

Work with light strokes and do not press the file too hard against the plate – especially with the 160 side when shortening natural nails – so as not to weaken the nail unnecessarily. If after matting you want to smooth the surface of the natural plate or gel further and get more shine, reach for the 120/120 buffer block – it is the next step in smoothing and levelling the nail plate surface after filing.

A single nail file or a larger pack – how to choose the pack size

This 160/210 grit nail file comes in packs of 1, 25, 50 and 100 pieces. Larger packs are a convenient choice for stylists who work regularly and want a supply of files to hand, while the biggest pack suits a salon with several manicure desks. If you would like to check first whether this grit and shape suit you, order a single 160/210 file. The 160 side is relatively coarser and the 210 side finer – so one file gives you two grits for different stages of work. You will find a wide choice of professional nail files of various grits and buffers in the nail files and buffers category.

Who this nail file is for

The 160/210 file is a good choice for professional nail stylists who want a proven, disposable file at their desk for everyday manicure work, as well as for people who do manicures at home. Whether you are preparing the plate for gel polish, gel or acrylic, this nail file will help you give it the right shape and matt finish. Choosing the right nail file depends on the client’s nail type and the stage of nail prep – the 160 side is useful for shortening and shaping, and the 210 side for preparing the plate for the nail set. The ergonomic half-moon shape also makes it easier to work in hard-to-reach spots along the side edges of the nail. The file works for both manicures and pedicures.
