FAQs
How often should I use the sanding block?
Use it only during the prep stage of your manicure or pedicure. Avoid using it more than once per manicure session.
Can I use this on artificial extensions?
Yes, it is suitable for buffing both natural nails and the surface of artificial nail enhancements.
Should I use it on wet nails?
No, always use the sanding block on completely dry nails to prevent damage to the nail plate and to keep the tool in good condition.
How do I know when to replace the block?
Replace the block when the grit feels smooth, worn down, or no longer provides the necessary matte texture on your nail plate.
Do I need to wash the sanding block?
Avoid submerging the block in water. Simply tap out dust or brush it clean with a dry, soft-bristled brush.
Troubleshooting
Polish is peeling shortly after application
Ensure you have buffed the entire nail surface, specifically around the cuticle and sidewalls, to remove all oils and shine before applying the base coat.
Nails feel thin or sensitive
You are likely applying too much pressure. Use a lighter touch and limit buffing to only the necessary surface prep rather than prolonged filing.
Dust is not coming off the nail
Use a lint-free wipe soaked in a small amount of cleanser or isopropyl alcohol to remove all filing debris before proceeding with polish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for this tool; it is ready to use immediately. To maintain the life of your sanding block, always use it on dry nails, as moisture can degrade the abrasive surfaces. After each manicure session, gently tap the block to remove excess nail dust or use a soft, dry brush. Store the block in a cool, dry place away from oils and lotions to ensure the grit remains effective for future uses. Do not use chemical cleaners on the block, as they can cause the bonding agents to break down.
