PNB Professional Crescent Nail File – 100/180 or 180/240 Grit

The PNB Crescent Nail File (also known as the "Half-Moon" file) is an essential ergonomic tool designed for maximum comfort and technical precision. Its unique shape—featuring one straight side and one curved side—is engineered to follow the natural anatomy of the nail. This allows you to shape the free edge with the straight side while safely navigating the delicate cuticle area with the curved edge, minimizing the risk of skin irritation. Available in two versatile grit combinations, this file is the professional choice for both natural nail care and artificial enhancement refinement.

Choose Your Grit Combination:

• 100/180 Grit (Standard):

  • 100 Grit side: A coarse surface used for quickly reducing the length of gel/acrylic extensions and filing down thick artificial material.

  • 180 Grit side: The medium-soft "industry standard" for shaping the free edge of natural nails and preparing the plate for base coat application.

• 180/240 Grit (Extra Gentle):

  • 180 Grit side: Ideal for standard shaping and refining the surface of the natural nail.

  • 240 Grit side: An ultra-fine surface perfect for finishing touches, smoothing out microscopic scratches, and prepping thin or fragile natural nails for a high-gloss finish.

Key Features:

• Ergonomic Half-Moon Shape: Provides better control and leverage, reducing hand fatigue during long services.

• Flexible Plastic Core: Features high-quality core materials that provide the perfect amount of "give," preventing excessive pressure on the nail plate.

• Premium European Abrasives: Long-lasting coating that doesn't "peel" or crumble, ensuring a clean and consistent filing experience.

• Safety Profile: The rounded edges are designed to be "pre-dulled" more easily, ensuring you can file near the lateral folds without causing discomfort.

• Washable & Disinfectable: Suitable for standard salon sanitation procedures to maintain professional hygiene.

Pro-Tip for Use:

1. Preparation: Use the straight edge to achieve crisp lines for square or coffin shapes.

2. Detailing: Use the curved edge to file around the cuticle area and sidewalls; the arc allows for a closer, more seamless transition.

3. Finishing: If using the 180/240 grit, use the 240 side as your final step to "seal" the free edge of the natural nail, which helps prevent future peeling.
