Achieve the perfect manicure on natural nails and nail enhancements. With a wide range of
profiling, shaping and polishing tools your electric file is invaluable when manicuring nails,
buffing to a high shine, preparing natural nails for extensions, removing gel nail enhancements,
removing hard skin from feet and performing professional infills.

Interchangeable selection of tools

all the electric file tools.
