· glass;
· ceramic;
· metal.

When choosing a manicure nail file, it is worth paying attention to the degree of hardness, measured in grits - from 80 to 400. The lowest value of 80 grit means maximum rigidity, such products are suitable for extended nails. For a natural nail plate, you need to choose a nail file with a hardness of 180-400 grit.
