Nail files & buffers are essential for shaping, surface prep and finishing.

Choose the right grit:

– 100 grit fast removal (enhancements only)
– 150 grit shaping enhancements
– 180 grit refining and natural nail work
– Buffers smooth the surface before top coat or for shine (depending on the buffer)
