Nail files

“In practice, you see that the right nail file makes the difference between working efficiently and wasting time.”

On the salon floor, it’s all about speed, results, and control. Using an unsuitable nail file leads to wasted time, frustration, and a less precise final result. This collection offers files that enable professionals to work efficiently and with high quality.

Choose quickly

• For quickly shaping coarse material → choose a heavy grit such as Sibel Nagelvijl Los Classic Forming Heavy 80/100.
• For smoothly finishing natural nail shapes → use a medium grit such as Sibel Nagelvijl Los Zebra Recht 100/180.
• For a precise, smooth finish → use a fine finishing file such as Sibel Nagelvijl Los Classic Finishing Fine 200/240.
• For reusability and softness → a glass file such as the GR Glass Nail File is ideal.
• For consistent step-by-step nail care → a set such as the Sibel Nagelvijlen 3-Step Set 3st offers the best grip.

The problem

Often, a file is chosen based on its appearance or a random grit. This leads to split nails, excessive dust formation, or unnecessarily longer filing.

Why people choose incorrectly

Many nail technicians underestimate the importance of grit, shape, and material. In the rush, a universal file is often chosen, while the right choice can significantly simplify the work.

Types within this collection

• Heavy forming files (coarse, 80/100)
• Medium files (most popular, 100/150/180)
• Fine finishing files (extra fine, 200/240)
• Polishers and glass files (smooth, hygienic)
• Specials: boomerang, banana, animal prints

How to choose the right one

For quickly reducing thick artificial nail material, always choose a heavy variant such as Sibel Nagelvijl Los Jumbo Forming Heavy 80/100; it works more coarsely and faster.

For natural nails, nail technicians prefer a medium grit. In situations where control and comfort are essential, a curved file such as the Sibel Nagelvijl Los Zebra Banaan 100/180 offers extra grip.

For a sleek shine or polishing the surface without damage, choose an extra-thick polisher such as the Sibel Nagel Polisher Extra Dik.

Important differences

Pay attention to the grit: the lower the number, the coarser and faster the material is removed. Straight files are versatile, while banana and boomerang shapes offer more ergonomics around the nail edges. Glass files and polishers ensure a good finish and hygiene without scratching or splitting.

Choosing within this collection

In practice, most nail technicians choose a medium-grit file that is flexibly applicable, such as the Sibel Nagelvijl Los Classic Rounding Medium 100/180, because it almost always meets the requirements for filing natural nails.

Common mistakes

• Working with too coarse a grit on natural nails → splitting and breaking

• Forgetting to save time and effort by choosing the right shape
• Paying too little attention to hygiene, especially with glass files
