For manicure workers, nail files and buffing blocks are one of the essential tools. However, what is the difference between them? Don’t worry, keep reading, this article will tell you the answer.

The material between the two sides of the file, also called board or core, is also very important to the result. The harder it is and the less flexible it is, the more the energy you transfer from your hand will also be transferred directly to the area between the file and the nail plate, and therefore the more powerful the effect will be.

So it makes sense to combine a hard core with low grits, because you want to remove more material and work efficiently without having to push too hard, which could damage your hand, arm or shoulder when working for several hours a day .

If, on the contrary, you want to give the nail plate a great shine, and therefore work with a high grain, it is better to work with a soft core, which absorbs and equalizes the level of energy that you transfer to Lime.

The buffers are more flexible and softer, ideal for polishing the product or the natural nail according to the grain. So, for example, a 180-grit file acts differently on the nail plate, depending on whether it is a file or a buffer, because the amount of energy transferred by your work is different.

Hoping that this article has pleased you and will give you ideas! In addition, I also advise you to invest in some professional manicure sets to care for your nails.
