Nail Files & Buffers

Professional nail files and buffers — Artisan Zebra Nail Files (12-pack, Diamond/Straight/Half Moon, 100/100 and 180/180 grit), Bulk Nail Files (50-ct Jumbo and standard Zebra and Snow White, 80/80 and 100/100), ProMaster Bulk Files (48-ct and 50-ct, color-coded: Snow White, Pink Center, Blue Center, Black Abrasive, White Abrasive, Black Center, 80/80–100/180 grits), Mini Manicure Files (50-ct), Artisan Magic Shiner, Artisan Pro Magic Shiner, Artisan Sponge Buffing File, 3-Way Buffing Blocks (Orange/Black, Purple/Black, Orange/White), Bulk Disposable Buffers (500-pc to 1500-pc cases), and Nail File Storage Boxes and Organizer Holder — available through our nail supply warehouse in Carol Stream near Chicago.

A nail file that holds its grit through a full acrylic shaping service, a buffer that produces a consistent shine without leaving micro-scratches, and a storage system that keeps every file organized and accessible at the station — these are the consumable tools that determine the quality of every nail prep and finishing service. The right grit for the right stage — 80/80 for heavy shaping, 100/100 for standard prep, 180/180 for finishing and natural nails — is what separates a nail prep that takes 5 minutes from one that takes 15. This collection covers 37 nail file and buffer products across every format your salon needs: Artisan Zebra Nail Files in 12-packs across 3 shapes and 2 grits, ProMaster and standard bulk files in 48-ct and 50-ct across color-coded formats and 4 grit combinations, individual Artisan shine buffers, 3-Way Buffing Blocks in 3 formats, bulk disposable buffer cases from 500-pc to 1500-pc, and nail file storage in 6 options. Whether you’re a salon owner stocking a complete nail file station, a nail technician building a professional prep kit, or a DIY user looking for the right file and buffer for at-home nail care, the right product is here.
