Nice file, but wears quickly. Love all Londowntown products but wish this was a little sturdier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Londontown Emery Board Nail File made of?

Our Emery Board Nail File features a dual-sided surface made from high-quality sandpaper grit bonded to a sturdy, yet flexible core. This design allows for precise, gentle filing that helps shape natural nails without splitting or tearing. It’s an effective essential designed with performance in mind.

Is this nail file safe for natural nails?

Yes! This Emery Board is designed specifically to be safe for natural nails, even those that are soft, thin, or prone to peeling. The grit level is gentle enough to protect nail health while still delivering a clean, professional finish.

How do I use an emery board correctly?

For best results, use light, even strokes in one direction to shape the nail. Avoid sawing back and forth, which can weaken the nail edge. Always finish by gently rounding the tips to help prevent splitting or snagging.

Can I use this nail file on acrylics, gels, or extensions?

This file is best for natural nails. If you’re working with acrylics or hard gels, you’ll want a file with a coarser grit. Our Emery Board offers a softer, more refined filing experience ideal for maintaining the integrity of natural nails.

How often should I replace my emery board?

We recommend replacing your emery board every 4–6 weeks or once the grit starts to wear down. For hygiene purposes, avoid sharing your nail file and clean regularly by gently brushing off debris after each use.

Is the emery board travel-friendly?

Absolutely. Slim, lightweight, and durable, this nail file is a must-have for your beauty bag or carry-on. It’s a simple essential that keeps your nails looking polished wherever life takes you.
