In my last post, I told you about an amazing TopInox® Stainless Steel Nail Clipper from Zamberg, that cuts so cleanly, and when used correctly will minimize micro-cracks in the nail plate that cause peeling nails. Of course, it is always best to clip the nail after the nail has been soaked for at least 2 minutes.
Clipping the nail is great if you need to take a lot of nail off at one time. But even after clipping, the nail needs to be filed. One of the best files I've come across over the years is a glass nail file, and luckily, Zamberg has those too! Hey, I love one stop shopping! lol
Check out these beauties!
I love that they have Bling too!
I personally like a pointed tip to my personal nail file
so I can clean under my own nails easily.
But seriously...
Glass nail files are gentle, yet effective way of
filing the nails and preventing micro-tears between the flattened nail
plates. Micro-cracks and micro-tears can be caused by aggressive filing
with a coarse nail file. Also remember that filing the nails should
always be from the side to the tip. As shown below.

Also, angle your file as shown here.

When ever you file, you will find small frays that stick out. Be certain to gently file or buff that off with a light touch with your file or a very fine nail file or buffer. A fray is an over-sized micro-tear. The less pressure with the file will be gentler to the natural nail and a nice glass file will do this beautifully.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you learned something new!
