Straight shape for sidewall and edge work, high-quality Japanese sandpaper, cushioned foam core, sanitizable, and durable for multiple uses.
Are they suitable for all nail types?
Yes, suitable for natural nails, acrylics, gels, and extensions, with coarser grits (80–100/180) for enhancements and finer grits (180–240) for natural nails.
Can they be sanitized?
Yes, fully sanitizable with alcohol-based solutions or Pure Nails Sanitising Spray, ensuring hygiene for client use.
Do they cause nail damage?
When used correctly (gentle filing, appropriate grit), they minimize damage. Over-filing with coarse grits (80/80) on natural nails can thin them, so select grits carefully.
How do I choose the right grit?
Use 80/80 for acrylic removal, 100/180 for bulk and shaping, 180/180 for etching or refining, and 240/240 for smoothing or finishing natural nails or gel surfaces.
How long do they last?
They last longer than standard files due to high-quality Japanese sandpaper, offering multiple uses if sanitized and maintained properly.
How do they compare to other brands?
Halo Elite Black Straight Files rival premium brands like Naio Nails for durability and precision, with a sanitizable design and foam core, outperforming generic files in longevity and hygiene.
