Which Creative File?

[lisa21]

Hi

Just at the start of my VTCT in Nail Tech using Creative. I have been practising in the last couple of days on my nail trainer before I have a real case study later this week.

Which of the creative files do you find the best to smooth down the enhancement to get rid of the ridge once it has been glued on? I have been using the Blizzard or the Hot Shot but worried that it may be too harsh.

Can you tell me which files are your favourites to use for each process i.e.:

Natural nail prep
Shaping of enhancement
Taking down length of enhancement
Smoothing the line of enhancement
Finishing

Thanks

Which of the creative files do you find the best to smooth down the enhancement to get rid of the ridge once it has been glued on? I have been using the Blizzard or the Hot Shot but worried that it may be too harsh. Do you mean blending tips? If you do, then the 180 side of a Blizzard or Hot Shot is fine, but obviously don't use that on the natural nail.

Can you tell me which files are your favourites to use for each process i.e.:

Natural nail prep - 240 grit, Kanga or Koala
Shaping of enhancement - 180 side of Hot Shot
Taking down length of enhancement - 100 side of Hot Shot
Smoothing the line of enhancement - 180 side of Hot Shot and 240 Koala
Finishing - Koala 240 then 1200, then either Girlfriend of Glossing Buffer (or sometimes both!)

Thanks
