Nail files with a grit matched to your nail type, so you shape your nails without them splitting or peeling.
Frequently asked questions
If your nails split or peel easily, or are thin and soft, choose the file for soft, thin, peeling nails. If they are thick and hard, choose the file for strong, hard nails. Not sure? The file for normal nails is a good start.
The cushioned file has a soft, flexible core. It files more gently and sits comfortably in your hand. The standard file is thinner and firmer.
Filing back and forth creates small tears in the nail edge, which makes your nail split. In one direction the edge stays smooth.
Who helps you?
I'm Ellen, the Ellen behind LLN.beauty (say it as Ellen beauty). Beauty therapist since 2003, with my online beauty store since 2008. In 2019 I trained in orthomolecular therapy at KPNI, to tackle skin problems from the inside as well.
For years I treated clients in my salon. I stopped, because a treatment only works for a short while. Lasting results come from the basics you do yourself at home. That's why I now help you with a routine you'll actually stick to.
Which routine do you want to tackle first?
