Silkline guide: grits, working tips and service supplies

Equip your manicure, pedicure and treatment station with Silkline. Start with the job—shape, refine, polish, prepare or mix—then choose the grit, working tip and pack size that belong to that step.

Nail files: grit and shape

Choose grit for the nail material and service stage, then shape for access. Colour-coded cushion files span 80/80 to 240/240; white files offer 100/100 or 100/180; the blue file combines 120/320. Mini Shorty 240/240 comes as a single or bulk pack. Glass is a separate reusable format, supplied here as 12 per drum.

Buffing and high-gloss finishing

A120/120 slim block is a preparation abrasive, not the final gloss step. Compare the durable 100/180/180 and 320/320/320 blocks with the colour-sequenced smooth/buff/polish buffer. High Gloss is available as a slim file or a wider block for the finishing gesture.

Prep and removal consumables

Choose stick length and tip shape for the preparation task. Foil wraps already carry absorbent pads and come 100 per box; lint-free wipes are the separate cleaning consumable. Match removal products and timing to the coating system being removed rather than assuming one soak time fits every gel.

Cuticle and nail preparation tools

Compare the working ends: spoon, spade, flat, curved or removal scoop. The 4-inch cuticle nipper offers full,5 mm half and 2.5 mm quarter jaws; select the jaw width separately from handle length. The curved 3.5-inch scissors are a distinct cutting format.

Artificial-nail cutters

Use the guillotine format to size an artificial nail tip or compare the full-jaw acrylic nipper for that material. These are distinct from the cuticle and toenail nippers: choose by working material and blade geometry.

Pedicure files and nippers

Foot-file surfaces and toenail-file edges perform different jobs. Compare wet/dry 8000NC with the medium/coarse oak-handled file; stainless files have narrower working ends. The heavy-duty nipper listing offers distinct 5.5-inch spring builds and a 5-inch model: choose the exact variant rather than treating them as colours.

Tweezers by working tip

Choose slanted or straight tips for the contact area you need, pointed styles for precision handling, and the dedicated angled model for lash isolation. The mini slanted tool includes a pouch. Twilight is a display of 16 sets, each with four 2.5-inch tweezers—not a single four-piece set.

Double-loop extractor

The double-loop extractor is a separate professional skin-care implement, not another tweezer tip. Compare the loop shape and handle with the trained service you provide; it is not a treatment for a skin condition.

Mixing and application

The flexible rubber treatment bowl and silicone colour bowl both hold 500 ml but use different materials. The spatula pack contains five even though the photograph may show one. Choose the fine natural-bristle tint brush for targeted application rather than broad mixing.

Treatment-station essentials

Choose the terry headband for holding hair clear during treatment. The SL900C trolley measures 35.5×13×21.5 in and has a lamp holder; the lamp itself is not included. Check that footprint against the space beside your treatment chair.

Choosing with confidence

Are finishing blocks the same as prep blocks?

No. The 120/120 slim block is a preparation abrasive, while High Gloss is a finishing choice. Compare the stated grit and stage instead of choosing only by block shape.

What does the Twilight listing include?

It is the complete display of 16 sets. Each set has four mini tweezers and a pouch; the listing does not sell one individual pouch at the display price.
