So Eco Eco-Friendly Bamboo Nail Files

So Eco Eco-Friendly Bamboo Nail Files are nail files built on a bamboo body, for shaping the free edge of the nail rather than cutting it. A clipper commits you to a length in one squeeze; a file brings the edge down a little at a time, so you stop at the shape you meant to instead of finding out afterwards that you went too short. It also lets you even up one corner that has grown past the rest without touching the other nails. The bamboo body stands in for the plastic emery board that gets thrown out once its surface has worn flat.

Benefits

• Filing brings the edge down gradually, so you can stop at the length and shape you wanted, which a clipper does not allow.
• The body is bamboo rather than plastic, so a worn-out file is not another plastic board going in the bin.

How to use

• File the free edge only, working from the corner towards the centre of the nail.
• Use light passes and look at the nail from both sides as you go, so the edge stays even.
• Stop once the outline is the shape you want, rather than filing deeper into the nail.
• Keep the files dry between uses and change one when its surface has gone smooth.
