How to Prep
Follow these easy directions for a perfect manicure:
NAIL PREP: The foundation of every great mani.
1. File nails to smooth edges.
Start with the coarser grit side to shape your nail edges and take down length. Work in one direction for a clean, even finish.
2. Push back cuticles gently.
Use the flat edge of the pusher to gently push back your cuticles with slow, controlled strokes. Work from side to side, then flip to the pointed end to lift and remove any remaining excess cuticle.
3. Buff nails until the surface looks matte.
Gently buff the nail surface in one direction. Use along the nail edges to smooth any ridges or unevenness, and create a matte base ready for gel.
4. Brush off dust.
Hold Le Softie at the base of your fingers and sweep the brush gently across each nail and fingertip. Work from cuticle to free edge to remove all dust and debris.
5. Wipe nails with cleanser.
Wipe thoroughly with a single Nail Cleanser Prep Pad to remove all dust and oils, or apply Le Clean Nail Cleanser to a Lint‑free Wipe Pad and scrub each nail until fully clean.
Pro tip: Once you've cleaned your nails, avoid touching your face, hair, or any surface — even one touch transfers oils and affects how long your manicure lasts.

El mango es grueso y resistente, puedes meterle caña a esas duricias sin miedo
No es demasiado abrasivo, el grano está súper bien, ni grueso ni fino
TB outil avant la manucure, permet au vernis d’accrocher à l’ongle et donc de mieux tenir.
Muy buena calidad y buenos resultados.
bien mais pas pratique à tenir
Buena lima para darle la forma deseada a la uña.
Me gustan que esta lima sea más suave para pulir bien la uña antes de pintarla.
Lima di cartone spesso, fa il suo.
Prezzo e qualità allineati ad altri prodotti presenti sul mercato.

Va muy bien para limar las uñas antes de aplicar el esmalte y éste dure.
Muy útil. Es el segundo que compro y continuaré comprando.
Muy bien
Second one I’ve bought so far!
I prefer it over the block one, because I feel it’s a softer buff and damages my nails less.
Molto funzionale per rimuovere il gel, credo sia più grossa come grana rispetto alle altre lime che ho preso sempre di questo brand. Mi trovo molto bene.
Funciona genial para embellecer tus uñas
Super produit très utile ! On peut l’apporter partout, même en voyage .
Espectacular!
Great for shaping and buffing
Es una lima perfecta para preparar la uña para aplicar el gel asi como para pulirla tras retirarlo.
Durable
Ottimo buffer, in giro ce ne sono di ogni prezzo e qualità, ma questo lo consiglio perché fa il suo dovere e non si consuma velocemente.
SANDING BLOCK FAQS
A sanding block is a nail prep tool designed to lightly buff the nail surface before applying your 3-in-1 gel polish. Used to gently smooth ridges, remove shine, and create a better bond for longer-lasting wear.
Lightly buffing your nails with a sanding block is one of the most important prep steps for a long-lasting gel manicure. It removes shine from the nail surface, which helps your 3-in-1 gel polish bond better and reduces lifting and peeling over time.
Start with clean, dry nails. Lightly buff the nail surface in one direction using gentle pressure. Avoid going back and forth. Remove all dust with a nail cleanser prep pad before applying your 3-in-1 gel polish. For a full step-by-step guide, visit our Mani School section.
Less is more when it comes to buffing. A few gentle strokes in one direction are all you need to remove shine and create a good bond for your 3-in-1 gel polish.
Use your sanding block as part of your nail prep routine each time you do your gel manicure. Avoid buffing more than necessary, as too much buffing over time can weaken the nail. If you are looking for everything you need in one kit, check out our Prep Bundles.
If the grit feels worn down, buffing takes more effort, or you are not getting the same smooth results as before, it is time to replace your sanding block.
If lifting is still an issue after buffing, make sure your nails are completely oil-free before application. Adding our Chip-free Primer after buffing and before your 3-in-1 gel polish creates an even stronger bond and can make a real difference on nails that are naturally prone to lifting.
