Nail files are used to smooth and shape the edges of fingernails after trimming with nail clippers. They usually consist of a small handle and a flat stick roughened on one or both sides. Some nail files have pointed edges used to push out dirt from under the nails. Miniature nail files are also added to nail clippers for easier use.
Maintenance: Choose a nail file that can be cleaned with water and soap. If you are getting a metal file, make sure it is made of stainless steel to prevent rusting. Make sure the filing surface is rigid and will not lose roughness with frequent washing.
Texture: Choose a nail file with a fine, sharp grain. The surface should be sharp enough to chip off protruding bits, but should not cut deeply into the nail and damage the edges. Make sure the texture is consistent throughout the file for a more even finish.
