The white and pink version of our Canadian-made 80/80 grit square nail file carries the same Japanese sandpaper construction and extra coarse performance as the black and pink, in a colourway that suits salons running a lighter, cleaner aesthetic at their stations. Same grit, same durability, same made-in-Canada quality.
At 80 grit on both sides, this file is your first tool out when a client needs significant length taken off, when product buildup is heavy, or when you are breaking down a full acrylic set before backfilling. The square tip gives you clean access to nail corners and side walls without the rounded end softening edges you want to keep sharp. Japanese sandpaper holds its abrasive surface through more uses than standard grit materials.

Understanding 80 Grit
Nail file grit refers to the number of abrasive particles per square centimetre on the file surface. The lower the number, the coarser the abrasion. Here is where 80 grit fits within the professional nail file range.
- 80 grit: Extra coarse. Used for heavy product removal, rapid length reduction, and breaking down thick artificial nail enhancements.
- 100 grit: Coarse. Used for shaping side walls and the free edge on acrylic and artificial nails.
- 180 grit: Fine. Used for contouring, natural nail prep, and finishing artificial nails to a smooth surface.
An 80/80 file carries the same extra coarse grit on both sides, giving you consistent aggressive removal across the full file surface without needing to flip or rotate looking for a fresher side.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this file identical to the black and pink version other than the colour?
Yes. The white and pink square nail file uses the same Japanese sandpaper construction, the same 80/80 grit rating, the same square tip format, and comes in the same pack of 50. The colourway is the only difference.
Why does the sandpaper material matter on a nail file?
Japanese sandpaper holds its abrasive surface longer than lower-grade grit materials. For a nail technician doing multiple acrylic sets per day, a file that stays sharp through more uses means fewer replacements mid-service and more consistent results across every client. The made-in-Canada quality control adds reliability you do not always get with imported files.
When should I use an 80 grit file versus a 100 grit file?
Reach for the 80 grit when you need maximum product removal speed, such as taking down thick acrylic, removing significant length, or breaking down heavy gel product before backfilling. Move to 100 grit once you are into shaping and refining the free edge and side walls. The 80 grit is too aggressive for detail shaping work but nothing moves product faster when bulk removal is the goal.
Can I use an 80 grit file on natural nails?
No. An 80 grit file is far too coarse for the natural nail plate and will cause thinning, damage, and sensitivity. It is designed exclusively for use on acrylic, gel, and other artificial nail products. For natural nail work, a 180 to 240 grit file is the appropriate range.
Where can I buy bulk nail files made in Canada for my salon?
You can order these 80/80 grit white and pink square nail files in a pack of 50 online through CM Nails Supply, a professional nail and beauty supply store serving nail technicians and salon owners across Canada with fast shipping options.
