anyone knows the grit on these files? is there any difference on the grit or quality on the 3 colors (pink, blue, cobalt) or is it just matter of preference?

Running my fingertips on the larger file, it feels like the grit is smoother at the end, progressively becoming alittle coarser towards the color area. I have the purple- hued set. I used to clip my nail length down , then shape the corners with a file, then use a buffer to smooth my nails out. These files allow me to shorten, shape and smooth at the same time. These file nails smoothly and effortlessly like a warm knife to butter.

The colored part is smooth--where you hold it. The clear/white part has the fine 'grit' you file with. I've learned I only need to gently pull the file across my nails, no pressure needed like with other standard files. I have weak, thin nails and this file has proved to be the best file I've ever used. I don't need several different 'grits' anymore.

Basically the color is just for looks I think. They aren't really very gritty but they do leave your nails very smooth. They are a little thick and difficult to file the sides so i use a regular file to do the sides properly. Overall I really like them because they don't wear down like a regular file. I keep the smaller one in my car for emergencies and the medium one in my desk at work. Keep in mind, they are glass and might break if you drop them on a hard surface.

No, they are all the same. Fine on one side slightly coarser on the other. Had mine 3 yrs now, still going strong

The set is the same grit as far as I can tell, but it may be graduated slightly. They do sell a pack with around 9 files that have different grit's for each of the files. The files are so good that really you don't need a variety of grits. Best files I have ever owned!

Very light grit at best. They help with slipping but are otherwise not that noticeable. I hope this helps.

hey delores, i bought this kit and for the money was great... i don't know how large or small you are going with them but the spaces between the grit might be too great if your pieces are quarter size or smaller! i have no doubt it will polish, just don't know your process. any more questions i'll try to answer, mike

&^(&(*& What am I doing wrong - seems like I can only fit in title but no explanation.Anyhow, my new red ELPH seems perfectly smooth. Is the gritty texture only on some colors, or has Cannon dropped that?

Did you pick a color? I'm considering the gold, but... i like the subtle almost no-color gold in the amazon pic. but everyone says go to canon's website and look there because the colors are truer: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoActhowever, i prefer the color as shown on amazon and not the darker gold as shown on the website. if you have seen this gold in person, can you determine which image is closer to the real thing? thanks!

All colors are same strenght/roughness, the number series is only a reference fot color, 100 is the most popular one (blue). Hope that helps

Blue is the roughest, followed by pink. The white and grey are buffers/shiners.

I did a youtube search "22 piece brush set pink" and a few video reviews came up. Several of the reviewers got their sets from ebay though. Hope that helps :)

Would someone from Winco please inform us of the grit level on each side? This was just purchased for me without researching ahead of time and I would really like to know.

I thought maybe I could outsmart the system by buying four folders at one time. Surely, seeing an order for four...they would naturally know that you'd want four different colors for four different purposes, right?! Yeah, you got it. And I got 3 green and one blue. Anyone interesting in TRADING COLOR folders? I'd be happy to talk offline and trade a green (prefer green, but also blue) for a PURPLE? Any takers? Or anyone want to acquire a green? Kathleen

I spoke to a Tech. Rep from Plano this morning. She advised me that there is no difference between the red, yellow, or black handled versions. It's a color preference only.

Hi, I did receive 6 polishes from this company. They had 6 different names but It looked like just 2 shades 3 in blue (all looked alike) 3 in beige pink (all looked alike). Better luck to you. I would not have bought, if I knew exactly what I was getting.

Size is correct as stated by manufacture, only problem the grit does leave scratches. U should try better quality.

It is the same grit on both sides and all sizes unfortunately. It works well for nails, however I was going to use the large one to file the dry skin on my feet and it just does not have enough grit. So sad!

You get multi colors and they ARE HELPFUL better than getting just one color easy to choose wrong one. Stick with the multicolor they are all the same shape so the multi color helps you as you progress, just make sure to get personal lubricant . Hope this was helpful

Hello Wendy. These are handmade pieces and they are all going to have variances in their tonal properties depending on how they were turned, how the metal was cast, how much of each type of metal is in the alloy, etc. I think that is what makes them so unique.

Abrasive material is on both sides. These pads are wonderful. Color coded re 'grit'. I have 'sanded' acrylic...from rough to glass smooth. Aircraft and motorcycle windscreens made new again. Use wet or dry. A great product. The pads too are durable. I have refurbished bare aluminum on older motorcycle alloy wheels and trim bits also. Buffed out clear coat. Mr. Miller, I am thinking you will be very very pleased with these guys. DRR
