Keep Your Nails Looking Beautiful with These Professional Nail Files
We don’t often think twice about nail files, but surprisingly, along with nail scissors and the best nail clippers, each type of file serves a different purpose, and a decent mani kit should contain a good range. Allowing you to create your perfect nail shape wherever you are, the right file can create envy-worthy nails, often in a matter of minutes. So what types are there?
So, here’s the lowdown on nail files:
Buffer Blocks
Designed to have varying grades of grit on each side of the block, they are used to bring a gleam to your nails bed. The grit is so soft it doesn’t scratch or leave any marks.
Metal Nail Files
Being made of stainless steel, they can be a little harsh for natural nails, and are much more suitable for acrylic nails.
Emery Boards
These are the most common type of nail file, and consist of two grades of grit on either side of a strong cardboard file.
Wooden Nail Files
Similar to Emery boards, but using wood, instead of cardboard. Often used for pedicures.
Glass or Crystal Nail Files
These longer lasting files can be sterilized and minimise chipping and breaking due to their gentleness.
Electric Nail Files
Making filing easy although they can take time to master.
So, which nail files and buffers made my Top 3?
