Brushworks Multi-Sided Shape & Shine File

Brushworks Multi-Sided Shape & Shine File is a six-sided nail block that carries a whole manicure finish on one tool: the coarsest face shapes the free edge, the middle faces smooth it, and the last face brings the surface up to a shine. Used in order, the grades hand the nail from one stage to the next, which is why this block does not need a second file beside it. It suits short bare nails kept neat without colour, and it is equally the last step before a polish goes on, because a smooth surface is what stops a colour looking ridged. File in one direction rather than sawing back and forth, and keep the block dry between manicures.

Benefits

• Six graded surfaces on one block take the nail from shaping to shine without reaching for another tool.
• One block does the work of a file, a smoother and a shiner, which is three fewer things to find in a wash bag.

How to use

• Shape the free edge on the coarsest face, filing in one direction rather than sawing back and forth.
• Move along the block face by face, finishing on the finest one to bring up the shine.
• Wipe the dust off the nail before any polish or oil goes on.
• Keep the block dry between uses.
