"Without which no woman can do?", Most likely, his answer would be: "Without a man, of course! ". And he, undoubtedly, would have won.
But, it's in the game. And in life, no woman can do without ... nail files. In fact, thanks to a nail file, each of us can proudly show off his lovely hands to surrounding people. Moreover, we should not forget that "hands are a business card of a woman". And the nail files are specially created in order to make these "business cards" unique and unique.
The most expensive nail file is not the one whose cost is higher, but the one that is the most qualitative and convenient to use. How to choose the very nail file that will become an indispensable assistant in creating our neat and beautiful image?
Today, in any store, on the counter with cosmetics, you can see a huge number of all kinds of nail files: glass, ceramic, iron, buffs, etc.
How can a woman understand all this variety, and choose for herself exactly what is needed?
The very first thing you should pay attention to when selecting a file is abrasiveness.
The word "abrasiveness" means the degree of roughness of the nail files. The more abrasives applied to the surface of one nail file, so it is softer. The unit of measurement of the degree of abrasiveness is grit. For artificial, accrued nails, you need to choose a 100 grit low abrasive file. For natural nails - with high abrasiveness 150-180-200 grit. Soft nail files with abrasiveness of 400 grit and more are used for grinding. A file of 1000 grit - for giving gloss to natural nails.
Abrasive materials used in the manufacture of nail files vary in form, hardness and grain size. In addition, they are divided into natural and artificial. Natural abrasives include: silicon, corundum, diamond, garnet, pumice, etc. And to artificial: silicon carbide, elbor, borazon, electrocorundum, synthetic diamond, etc.
All abrasives are used to nail the nails on the hands or feet, as well as to exfoliate the upper layers of the skin or nails. Abrasives are applied to the substrate, that is, to the nail files. And they, in turn, can be:
1. Saws made of plastic or foamed plastic.
Such files are very thin and elastic, soft and sparing. They are best used for filing soft, thin and brittle nails.
2. Metal nail files.
This kind of saw is familiar to everyone. Moreover, more recently, almost all women used only these nail files. They are very durable and durable. But, at the same time, they are pretty rude. And if you use such a file for fine nails, then it can tear the nail and injure the area of the skin around it. Therefore, use a metal file only for coarse and thick nails. Although modern masters of manicure and pedicure, iron nail files do not apply, considering them "a relic of the past."
3. Films on a cardboard basis.
These nail files can be either disposable or reusable. The basis here is multi-layer paper or cardboard processed in a special way. Sputtering - Teflon, granite, etc.
4. Glass nail files.
These are the most popular nail files to date. They can be used for
fragile and normal nails. The only and significant drawback of this
saws - its fragility. If it falls to the floor, it will surely break. About it
we must always remember those women who give their preference precisely
glass files. Keep them best in a special case.
5. Ceramic nail files.
These nail files are silicon. They are best to filing the already prepared form of nails.
In addition, they can be safely called medical nail files. After all, microscopic particles of crystals, as it were, "cement" the layers of keratin.
Such files just need to be applied to those women, whose nails are constantly loose.
And, when buying a ceramic nail file, do not forget that it, like glassware, will require careful treatment due to its fragility. Therefore, it must be stored in a plastic case, in which it is sold.
All the above variants of the nail files can be different in form. They may be:
- straight nail files (narrow or wide) - these are universal nail files. Designed to reduce the length of natural or accreted nails and give them a certain shape. They are also used in pedicure.
- blocks, "buffs" - have the form of a brick. They are needed in order to grind the surface of the nail.
- "boomerang" ("banana", "goat's leg") - very comfortable when working with short nails.
- figured - they can be the most diverse form. Such nail files will serve as an excellent gift, and are best suited for children's and teenage manicure.
Buying a nail file in the store, a woman can not determine the quality and the term of her service for only one appearance and value. But, already buying a nail file and bringing it home, every woman can extend her period of service, thanks to her thrifty and quivering attitude. In response, the file will not only serve its owner for a long time, but will also become a "magic nail file", the most expensive and priceless assistant, capable of making the nails beautiful, neat and well-groomed.
