PNB Professional Crescent Nail Buffer – 100/180 Grit

The PNB Crescent Nail Buffer (also known as the "Half-Moon" buffer) combines ergonomic design with professional-grade abrasives. This uniquely shaped tool is a favorite among nail technicians because it offers the best of both worlds: a straight edge for precision work along the free edge and a curved "crescent" side that perfectly mirrors the natural shape of the cuticle area. This design allows you to buff close to the skin with a significantly reduced risk of accidental cuts or irritation, ensuring a smooth, uniform surface across the entire nail plate.

Key Features:

• Ergonomic Crescent Shape: The curved side is specifically engineered to navigate the cuticle area and lateral folds, while the straight side is ideal for surface smoothing and sidewall precision.

• Dual Grit Functionality:

  • 100 Grit side: Perfect for smoothing out the architecture of gel or acrylic extensions and removing the bulk of thick base coats.

  • 180 Grit side: The essential grit for "de-shining" the natural nail. It gently removes natural oils and lifts the keratin scales to ensure maximum gel adhesion.

• Cushioned Foam Core: The high-quality internal foam provides a flexible "spring" that absorbs excess pressure, protecting the natural nail from over-filing while ensuring a streak-free finish.

• Premium European Abrasive: Designed to resist "balding" and dust clogging, this buffer stays sharp and effective throughout the entire service.

• Safety First: The rounded ends and curved profile make it much safer for beginners and pros alike when working near sensitive skin.

How to Use for a Flawless Foundation:

1. Cuticle Prep: After pushing back the cuticles, use the curved side (180 grit) to gently buff the area near the proximal fold.

2. Surface Matte: Use the flat center of the buffer to remove the shine from the rest of the nail plate until it has a uniform, chalky appearance.

3. Refinement: After applying a builder gel or 3D art, use the 100 grit side to refine the shape and smooth out any bumps before the final color application.

4. Cleanse: Use a PNB Dust Brush to remove debris, then proceed with PNB Nail Prep.
