A Complete Guide To Mini Metal Files

As a manicure tool, mini metal nail file is an essential part. People who are familiar to nail beauty may know that there are many different types of nail files. And each type has different characteristic. This paper will focus on metal nail files and will teach you how to choose professional and premium metal files.

What Is Metal Nail Files

There are two ways to make metal files. One is to stick metal sheets with metal rods or cardboard rods. The another one is to make metal file with metal rod, and the metal rod itself coarse to form the file surface. In both cases, very small flakes of metal fall off during filing. Although metal is stronger and more durable than sand, the metal used to make a file is usually of a lower grade and is actually quite soft as metal goes.

A metal file can also be used to sharpen nails so that the tip "opens" rather than "closes." Due to the nature of the metal bit on the file, dirt and debris can get trapped between the tiny metal "teeth" and stick to the metal. The metal is non-porous, so bacteria are unlikely to grow on the file, but the composition of the metal file does not meet FDA standards for professional reuse by clients in a spa.

Metal files score higher on the greenmeter than paper files because no trees are used in the production process. Metal files cannot be adequately sterilized and should be thrown away after a few uses because they generate chemical gases during production. They take much longer to decompose in landfills than emery boards.

How To Use Mini Metal Nail Files?

The right use of nail files is very important. You may damage cuticles or shred nails with improper operation even with the best premium of nail files. Let’s see how to use nail files properly.

Choose a good metal file

There are many nail files are too rough or poorly designed to be used.

Lay the file flat on the nail

Do not hold the file at an oblique or diagonal Angle. Instead, lay the file flat on the nail. If you file diagonally, you'll only weaken your nail and make it thinner, so it's easier to break. If the file brushes against your skin, you can pull the fingertips back a bit.

One-way filing

Filing back and forth may seem intuitive, but this can lead to painful obstacles and tears. Instead, walk gently in one direction until you feel less friction, then switch directions and return the other way. Then, you can start walking back and forth gently, but gently!

Soak nails in water before filing

If your nails feel dry or brittle and snap easily, soak them in warm soapy water before filing. This will soften them and cushion them slightly against the nail file.
