Nail file is a nail beauty tool. Its English name is Nailfie, which is used for trimming, shaping, and polishing true nails, false nails, crystal nails, or toe nails. Nail files are differentiated by grit units, which represent the number of grains per square inch area, that is, its density. The more grains, the higher the density, and the larger the model number, the softer the nail file. The smaller the model number and the lower the density, the rougher the nail file, and the stronger the grinding and polishing.
Nail file comes in steel and colored file strips, which are often referred to as flower files. Flower files are further divided into file strips and polishing strips, and file strips are further divided into wood file, sponge file, and glass file.

Use Nail File Carefully
1. Use a steel or flower file to sharpen the nails, starting from the sides and then the front, to shape them into the desired form.
2, when polishing the natural nails, it is not recommended to rub back and forth at the same spot, as this can cause heat and damage to the nails, even leading to their falling off. However, this is not a problem when gently rubbing the artificial nails.
3, gently rub the skin with a file, and when you feel that the abrasiveness of the nail file is rougher than the skin, the abrasiveness of the nail file exceeds the natural nail's bearing capacity, which may cause the nail to break or fall off. You should choose a larger and softer file to trim the natural nail.
When using a file to shape the nails, it is very important to pay attention to the precision of the shaping on both sides of the nails, and the shape at the front must be rounded.
