FAQs About Nail Files

What type of nail file should I use?

It depends on your nail type and goal. Emery boards are great for everyday shaping, while glass or crystal files are gentler and ideal for weak or brittle nails. Metal files are more heavy-duty but can be harsh if used too aggressively.

How do I file my nails correctly?

Always file in one direction rather than sawing back and forth - this prevents splitting and breakage. Shape the nail to your desired finish (oval, square, almond), and finish with a buffer if you want extra smoothness.

Can nail files be reused?

Yes, many nail files - especially glass, crystal or metal - are reusable and easy to sanitise. Just be sure to clean them after use to avoid bacteria buildup. Traditional emery boards, however, should be replaced more regularly, especially if used frequently.
