I received a set of folding files from Born Pretty Store to review. These are four-sided, like many files, with the roughest grit (black) for taking down length, the next down (blue) for shaping, the second highest (pink) is for buffing, and the most gentle (blue) shines.
I'm not sure what the actual grits are on these, as they are not listed on the website, but they were neither too harsh or weak for my nails, and left a nice, smooth finish.
I used all four files and left my middle and index nails alone after shining, but applied OPI's Natural Nail base coat on my pinky and ring finger. The shining side especially does a great job! Those nails aren't as shiny as base coat or polish, and it is hard to tell in the picture, but it did leave my nails looking almost like I had a base coat already on! So I do love that about it!
These files seem to be pretty resistant. I didn't have any issues with tearing them up. They fold up nice and small so they are perfect for my purse.
They come in a 2-pack and are currently on sale for $1.19 USD. If you decide to grab some or pick anything else up, I have a coupon code you can use, ANL91, good for 10% off regular priced items.
