Whenever there is an article or an SM post on these topics it always creates a lot of passionate responses, especially about the e-file for a manicure. It creates such a divide in the pro nail industry. There are many \u2018for\u2019 an e-file manicure, not quite so many for the more aggressive version, known as the \u2018Russian manicure\u2019. There are also many fervently against this method. Probably not so many in the \u2018middle ground\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I, personally, am probably more in the \u2018middle ground\u2019 and believe all of these tools can be used safely and effectively. But I have a very large caveat alongside this opinion and this is what this blog is all about! (OK, I admit, the title is a bit misleading!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is FAR more important to understand before being able to answer this question is the nail unit anatomy. When you understand this and believe it, then is the time to be able to answer that question from an informed position as a nail professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll notice I have used the word \u2018believe\u2019? Well, here we have more disparity and a divide in the global nail industry. Not everyone believes in the correct scientifically proven nail anatomy! Why is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The answer to that particular question probably dates back many decades. A manicure is a cosmetic treatment and not a medical one, never has been and, in its current format, never will be. The early procedures and terminology didn\u2019t come from a medical standpoint and, over the years, various countries and communities have called the structures in the nail unit anatomy different things, many of which have been inaccurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take for example the area at the base of the nail; it has been called the cuticle, pterygium, eponychium, and, more recently, the proximal nail fold. So why has the terminology changed? Who knows what is right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, the anatomy of the nail unit hasn\u2019t changed. The physiology and functions have not changed. The human finger and toes nails haven\u2019t evolved into something that fits the terminology. It has remained the same since primates and other animals evolved millennia ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What has happened is that, as the manicure\/pedicure treatments have grown in popularity, research and development has had a lot more investment. This is in the search for products that can improve damaged conditions, work more efficiently and, above all, avoid inflicting damage in the quest for beautifying the hands, feet, and nails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, many experienced nail pros have not kept up with their understanding either from negligence (and I use that word advisedly) or from a refusal to move away from their early education. Many new to the industry are not taught correctly and need to find out over time. You don\u2019t know what you don\u2019t know! Those with a questioning mind will keep asking \u201cyes, but why and how?\u201d They will find out quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of the tools mentioned in the title can inflict a lot of damage. They are blades or the e-file along with files and buffers are abrasives and can easily damage the nails and skin. Correct use of them is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, even more, crucial is the understanding of the nail unit. What is considered the correct procedure to help improve the condition and appearance and what, with knowledge, has the potential to damage more than help. Essentially the structure and growth of the nail plate; the physiology and function of the skin; the position, function, and terminology of the structures deeper inside the finger, and how and why these need protecting. Although not a medical treatment the approach is closer to medical than it ever was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
