Cuccio’s Miracle Shine Buffer (pictured) is a two sided block buffer that delivers an unrivalled shine in natural nails and extensions. Also available, the Zebra angle file is 100 grit and an essential tool for hand filing acrylic and gel extensions. It is a foam-backed file using the highest grade Japanese backing paper and, according to the brand, “the file itself lasts much longer than many regular files when being used often.”

“In the Jessica System we soak the nail before filing – we never file a dry nail. As
the nail is porous, by soaking it before filing we allow it to expand and prevent unnecessary trauma to the nail preventing splitting or stress fractures,” says Jessica Vartoughian of Jessica Cosmetics. With this in mind, the Jessica nail care system offers a selection of files including the Jessica 240 grit Emery Board, a gentle file for short, peeling nails; the Jessica Zebra File 240/400 grit, a fine file for dry, damaged nails; the Jessica 180 grit Medium File, for normal and brittle nails, and finally the Jessica 3-way Buffer (pictured), which can be used for shaping and smoothing natural nails.
