Nail Buffers

About

Do you know the difference between nail buffers and nail files? If you have been presuming they are the same thing with a different name, is it time to get better informed? Let’s start with the nail file. The nail file is used to shape your natural nails. If you are looking to create a more oval or perhaps almond shape nail, a nail file is the way to achieve this. There are many products available on the market, manufactured from various materials including ceramic, mylar and glass. Many manicure kits will include metal nail files, however these can be extremely harsh and may cause your nails to break. A nail buffer is an entirely different product. Nail buffers are used to bring natural shine to your nails. So if you love to have beautifully manicured nails, but don’t particularly like layers and layers of nail polish, this could be the ideal nail tool to achieve your look. What type of nail buffer should I purchase? This is where it gets complicated. If you google nail buffers, you may be presented with what seems like a mathematical table. See the information below to get the nitty gritty on what all those numbers actually mean. The Nitty Gritty The term “grit” applies to both nail files and nail buffers. The grit number is an indicator of how many abrasive particles can be found in a square inch of a file or buffer. In basic terms, the grit number indicates how coarse the nail file or buffer will be. The higher the grit number, the less rough the product will be on your nails. Grit numbers start from as low as 40 and run up to 4000 plus. The lower numbers refer to nail files, however, we are looking to buff your nails and create maximum shine. As a general rule, only buff nails with a product with a grit number over 320. For the glossiest of finishes, opt for grit numbers between 1000 and 4000. Product Focus Stop searching the internet for your perfect nail buffer, it is a minefield.
