A dual-sided grooming tool employed for shaping and smoothing fingernails and toenails. It features two surfaces with differing abrasive qualities: one side with a 180-grit texture for coarser shaping and reducing length, and the other with a 240-grit texture for refining the nail edge and removing minor imperfections. This type of implement is commonly used in manicures and pedicures to achieve a desired nail shape and a smooth finish.
Its value lies in its versatility, offering the convenience of two tools in one. The coarser grit allows for efficient material removal, while the finer grit provides a controlled and gentle method for achieving a refined, professional result. The use of this type of tool prevents excessive damage to the natural nail, promoting healthy growth and minimizing the risk of splitting or peeling. Historically, similar abrasive tools have been used for nail care for centuries, evolving from natural materials to the manufactured files available today.
