PNB Professional Rectangular Nail Buffer – 100/180 Grit

Achieve a perfectly smooth, salon-quality surface with the PNB Rectangular Nail Buffer. This essential tool is designed for the final stages of nail preparation and the refinement of artificial enhancements. Featuring a large, ergonomic rectangular shape, it provides a broader surface area for faster, more even buffing across the entire nail plate. Its soft, flexible foam core allows the buffer to contour to the natural curve of the nail, preventing uneven pressure and ensuring a flawless, matte finish that is critical for long-lasting gel adhesion.

Key Features:

• Dual-Action Grits:

  • 100 Grit side: Ideal for smoothing out minor bumps or ridges in gel and acrylic extensions, or for removing the bulk of a previous base coat.

  • 180 Grit side: Perfect for preparing the natural nail plate by gently removing the natural lipid (oil) layer and "opening" the keratin scales for maximum bond.

• Large Rectangular Design: The wide surface area allows for fewer strokes to cover the nail, saving time during the preparation phase and ensuring a uniform texture.

• High-Quality Foam Core: The "squishy" interior provides a cushioned effect, making the buffing process comfortable for the client while preventing over-filing of the delicate nail plate.

• Premium Abrasives: Engineered to resist shedding and "clogging" with dust, maintaining its effectiveness throughout the entire manicure.

• Versatile Application: A "must-have" for prepping before gel polish, smoothing builder gels, or finishing off a classic manicure with a clean, refined look.

How to Use for Maximum Adhesion:

1. Prep: After shaping the free edge with a PNB file, use the 180 grit side of the buffer.

2. Buff: Gently glide the buffer over the entire surface of the natural nail, paying close attention to the cuticle area and sidewalls.

3. Check: The nail should look completely "matte" (no shiny spots remaining). This creates the mechanical grip needed for the base coat.

4. Refine: For extensions, use the 100 grit side to smooth out the architecture of the gel or acrylic before applying the final color.
