Abrasive sleeves and mandrels - essential accessories for nail drills
Abrasive sleeves and mandrels are essential tools for every nail stylist, enabling precise work on the nail plate and cuticles. They allow effective removal of gel and acrylic mass, shaping of the nails, and smoothing of the nail surface.
Selecting the right sleeves and mandrels allows you to adjust the nail drill to different styling techniques, ensuring comfort and safety during work.
Abrasive sleeves - effective nail treatment
Abrasive sleeves are disposable elements that are placed on the mandrel to achieve the desired grit and level of abrasion. We distinguish:
- fine grit sleeves – ideal for gently smoothing the nail plate,
- medium grit sleeves – perfect for buffing the surface and shaping the nails,
- coarse grit sleeves – used for removing gel, acrylic, and callused skin.
Mandrels for nail drills – stability and precision
Mandrels are metal or rubber holders on which abrasive sleeves are mounted. Their role is to stabilize the sleeve and ensure precise work during nail styling.
Selecting the right grit
The choice of sleeve grit depends on the type of work being done:
- fine grit (180-240) – for smoothing the natural nail plate,
- medium grit (100-180) – for buffing and preparing hybrid styling,
- coarse grit (60-100) – for removing gel and acrylic mass.
Material types
Sleeves can be made from different materials, such as:
- sanding paper – the most common disposable sleeves,
- carbide sleeves – extremely durable and effective when working with hard materials,
- aluminum oxide sleeves – perfect for treating the natural nail plate.
How to care for sleeves and mandrels?
To ensure long-lasting use of sleeves and mandrels, follow these guidelines:
- disposable sleeves should be discarded after each use to maintain hygienic conditions,
- mandrels should be regularly disinfected and sterilized to prevent the spread of bacteria,
- store in a dry place to protect sleeves from losing their abrasive properties.
