Earthy Crystal Glass Nail File
The Earthy crystal glass nail file is an essential piece to your nail care regime. Regulary filing your nails can help strengthen them by removing weakened or peeling areas of the nail before they can start tearing. This helps to maintain the integrity of the nail plate.
The file it self is made from recycled material and is built to last, unlike traditional nail files the grit doesnt wear down in the same way as a classic emery board or a metal file.
The Earthy cyrstal glass file is 18 cm long with 300g grit, ideal for shaping and gently removing nail debris.
How to use
To file your nails effectively and to achieve a desirable shape, follow these steps:
1. **Choose the Right Tool**:
- Crystal glass files are gentler on nails than metal files and help prevent splitting. Use a file with a fine to medium grit (300 grit is ideal for natural nails).
2. **Clean Your Nails**:
- Ensure your nails are clean and free of any polish or dirt. Use nail polish remover if necessary, and wash your hands thoroughly.
3. **Dry Your Nails Completely**:
- Before filing, make sure your nails are completely dry. Wet nails are more prone to tearing or peeling.
4. **Clip Nails if Necessary**:
- If your nails are long and you want to take a significant length off, clip them to slightly longer than your desired length. Use sharp, clean nail clippers.
5. **Choose Your Shape**:
- Decide on the shape you want (e.g., square, round, almond). The shape of your cuticles can be a good guide; mirroring this shape can be most flattering.
6. **File in One Direction**:
- Begin filing from the outside edge toward the center of the nail, moving in one direction. Filing back and forth can cause the nail to tear. Start on one corner and move to the center, then switch to the other side and continue to the center again.
7. **Be Gentle**:
- Use gentle pressure. You’re aiming to shape, not shorten your nails. Over-filing can weaken them.
8. **Maintain the Angle**:
- Keep the nail file at a consistent angle to the nail to ensure an even shape.
9. **Check Your Progress**:
- Frequently stop filing and look at your nails from different angles to ensure you are achieving the desired shape and that they are symmetrical.
10. **Smooth the Edges**:
- After achieving the desired shape, use the finer side of your file to go over the edges one more time for a smoother finish.
11. **Wash Hands Again**:
- Once you’ve finished filing, wash your hands to remove the filing dust. Apply moisturizer to keep your hands and cuticles soft.
12. **Moisturize**:
- Apply cuticle oil to hydrate and protect your nails and cuticles, finishing with Earthy cuticleoil and balm .
Remember, filing your nails regularly can help keep them strong and healthy, preventing splits and breaks. Always store your filing tools properly and keep them clean for the best care of your nails.
