When deciding on beauty products it can be easy to end up standing in the isle for over half an hour trying to make a decision. You want something affordable that gets the job done right. Could that be so hard to ask for?
There are many types of fingernail files available, some very cheap and some very expensive, while others are in between. The following tips will help you to know the difference between the major types of fingernail files so that you can make an educated decision on which is best for you.
Diamond Fingernail files remove rough edges and shape your nails faster and easier than any other nail file. You can use them to remove calluses and rough skin patches as well. They last longer than any other nail file and don’t need any kind of special treatment. You simply wash them after use, and store until later. Because they do actually have diamonds embedded in the file, they are more expensive than other nail files, about $25 each.
Ceramic Fingernail Files smooth and seal nail edges in addition to shaping them. Other files often leave the nail brittle or frail, but not ceramic fingernail files. They also often have a pointed edge so that you can use the tip to remove dirty from under your nails and dead skin around the sides of the nails. Not as fast or easy to use as diamond files, however they are more affordable.
Nail File Blocks allow you to file, buff, naturally polish and shine your nails all with the same tool. Nail buffer blocks are small and rectangular with a different type of sandpaper material on each of the 4 sides. The coarsest side is for filing your nails and shaping them, the second coarsest side is for buffing out ridges on the top of your nails, the next coarsest side is for removing small scratches and imperfections from the top of your nails, and the softest side is for buffing a shine and polish on the nail. Prices for nail file blocks vary.
Regular Card Board and Sand Paper Fingernail Files are the cheapest files available; however they will also damage your nails the most. In a matter of days after use your nails will be breaking and cracking.
