💅 **Are You Using the Right Nail File Grit?**

Using the same nail file for every stage of a nail service is a common beginner mistake.

A file that’s too coarse can damage the natural nail, while a file that’s too fine can make acrylic shaping slow and inefficient.

The key is simple: **match the grit to the material and the job.**

✨ **Quick Nail File Grit Guide**

**Natural Nails**
• **180–240 grit** — Light surface preparation and removing shine
• **240–320 grit** — Free-edge shaping and detailed refinement
• **400–1000 grit** — Gentle buffing and smoothing

⚠️ **Avoid using 80 or 100 grit on the natural nail.**
These grits are too coarse and may cause deep scratches, thinning, splitting or sensitivity.

**Acrylic Extensions**
• **80–100 grit** — Heavy bulk removal and shortening long extensions
• **120–180 grit** — Controlled reshaping, sidewalls and apex refinement
• **180–240 grit** — Final smoothing and surface refinement

💡 **Professional Filing Tips**

✔ Keep filing dust cleared so you can see the nail structure clearly.
✔ Use controlled strokes and avoid excessive pressure.
✔ Check the nail regularly from the front, side and top.
✔ Keep coarse acrylic files separate from natural-nail files.
✔ Replace worn or contaminated files and always follow salon hygiene requirements.

A good filing routine should move from **coarser to finer grits**, giving you enough removal power when needed while helping protect the client’s natural nails.

Sensitive nails? Understanding what is inside your gel polish matters. 💅

Our latest guide explains the difference between regular gel polish and HEMA-free formulas, who each option may suit, and why clean application and correct curing are essential.

HEMA-free can reduce one specific sensitisation risk, but it does not mean allergy-free. If you experience severe or persistent symptoms, stop using the product and seek professional medical advice.
