Understanding Grit Numbers:

What 80 Grit Means: The grit number indicates abrasive particle density per square inch. Lower numbers = coarser/more aggressive:

• 80 grit = Medium-coarse abrasive
• Removes material quickly and efficiently
• Professional standard for artificial nail work
• Not appropriate for natural nails (too coarse)

When to Use 80 Grit:

• Shaping acrylic after application
• Shortening gel extensions
• Removing bulk from enhancements
• Creating initial nail shape
• Filing thick enhancement products
• Professional artificial nail services

When NOT to Use 80 Grit:

• Natural nail filing (use 180+ grit)
• Final smoothing/finishing (use finer grits)
• Delicate work near cuticles
• Thin natural nails

How to Use:

For Acrylic Nail Shaping:

1. Clip excess length with nail clippers if shortening significantly
2. Hold file at slight angle to nail edge
3. File in one direction using smooth, even strokes
4. Shape free edge to desired contour
5. File sidewalls to create desired nail shape
6. Refine apex and C-curve as needed
7. Finish with finer grit (100-180) for smoothing

For Length Reduction:

1. Use nail clippers to remove most excess length first
2. File remaining length to desired point
3. Shape free edge evenly
4. Smooth edges and corners
5. Progress to finer grit for finishing

For Surface Work:

1. File gently over enhancement surface
2. Use light to medium pressure
3. Remove any lumps or uneven areas
4. Shape apex appropriately
5. Finish with progressively finer grits

Professional Technique Tips:

Pressure Control: Use firm but controlled pressure. Excessive force doesn't file faster and can create heat or damage.

Directional Filing: File in one direction when working on free edge to prevent splitting or cracking. You can use back-and-forth motion on surface work.

Avoid Excessive Heat: Filing creates friction and heat. If enhancement feels hot, pause and allow cooling. Excessive heat damages product and can hurt clients.

Progressive Grit System: Start with 80 grit for shaping, move to 100 grit for refining, finish with 180+ grit for smoothing. Each progressively finer grit removes scratches from the previous grit.

Even Pressure: Maintain consistent pressure across the file to create smooth, even results without grooves or ridges.

Care & Maintenance:

After Each Client:

1. Tap file against trash can to remove loose debris
2. Brush file with nail brush to remove embedded dust
3. Wash with soap and water
4. Disinfect according to your state/region regulations
5. Allow to air dry completely
6. Store in clean, dry location

Disinfection Guidelines:

• Follow your local health department requirements
• Most professional files can be disinfected with approved salon disinfectants
• Immerse in disinfectant solution for required contact time
• Rinse thoroughly after disinfection
• Dry completely before reuse or storage

Storage:

• Store in clean, dry container or drawer
• Keep away from moisture to prevent deterioration
• Organize by grit for easy selection
• Replace when grit becomes worn or file loses effectiveness

When to Replace:

• Filing surface becomes smooth/ineffective
• File shows visible damage or wear
• Grit particles are noticeably worn down
• File no longer removes product efficiently
• Generally: every 3-6 months with heavy professional use
