Having had trouble with weak, splitting nails in the past, I now like to take great care of my nails to ensure that they’re healthy and neat.  A key part of my nail care routine is filing, but I’ve found that emery boards and metal files are rather counter productive.  Their abrasive surfaces might do the job quickly, but they don’t exactly create a smooth finish, and they can actually tear nails and cause them to break.  So, I now use this Healthy Nails Professional Crystal Nail File instead, and my nails are in far better condition.

The file has a crystal finish which is far kinder on the nail, and rather than harshly filing the nail down, it gently buffs the edge away to a fine dust.  The whole filing process is a lot smoother with a crystal file, but just as easy as using an emery board, and the look and feel the file gives is very professional – sleekly shaped and perfectly even.

I also really like the aesthetic of the Healthy Nails file.  It’s slimline and lightweight with a practical pointed end, so the entire nail can be filed with minimum effort.  The file comes with an attractive, protective metal carry case, so it can withstand the impact of the other bits and bobs in your handbag, and it’s presented in a sleek white pillow box, so would make a great gift.

The Healthy Nails Professional Crystal Nail File usually retails for £16.99, but is currently available on Amazon for £12.99.  That may seem like a lot, but the surface never wears out and apparently works just as well after ten years, so you definitely get your money’s worth!  It’s also hygienic as the solid surface prevents moisture being absorbed so bacteria can’t multiply, and it can even be sterilised or disinfected without being damaged.

You can purchase the Healthy Nails Professional Crystal Nail File on Amazon here, and if you’re unsure about it, the company have a ‘no quibble refund’ policy if you’re not 100% satisfied, so why not give it a go?  Your nails will thank you.
