This tool, identified by a numerical grade, represents a specific type of abrasive implement used in nail care. The designation “80/80” refers to the grit size on each side of the implement, indicating a coarse texture suitable for rapidly shaping artificial nails like acrylics or quickly reducing the length of natural nails. For instance, it can efficiently remove gel polish build-up.
The advantage of using such a coarse abrasive lies in its efficiency. It allows for quick material removal, saving time during the manicure or pedicure process. Historically, these coarser grades were primarily used in professional settings due to the potential for damage to the natural nail if not handled with care. The controlled and skilled application is essential for maintaining nail health.
