Which Basic glove for which job?
5.5g black nitrile is the everyday salon glove: close fit, and black hides polish and dye stains. Diamond textured 8 mil nitrile is the thick one, for cleaning pedicure chairs, handling acetone and other rough work. Vinyl exam gloves fit looser and cost less, for short jobs with frequent changes such as waxing or applying lotion.
