Files and Buffers
A nail technician’s kit would be incomplete without files and buffers used for hygienic manicures and pedicures, as well as for removing gloss from gel polish. These items are essential in home care as well, prompting Kodi Professional to continuously expand its range.
Types of Files and Buffers in Kodi Professional's Assortment
Files are categorized by material:
- Metal files. Made of durable metal with diamond abrasive coating. Primarily used for extensions. Not recommended for natural nails.
- Glass files. Affordable and long-lasting, suitable for natural nails, though fragile. Mostly used at home.
- Paper files. Feature one or two-sided abrasive pads. Varying grit levels allow for diverse manicure and pedicure tasks. Non-disinfectable and short-lived.
- Ceramic files. Ideal for thin, brittle nails. Often used in drill bits. Seal nail tips effectively.
Files are also either disposable or reusable (can be disinfected or have replaceable pads).

There is a separate subcategory of children's files and buffers designed for delicate nails.
