5 nail products we can’t live without

1. A good file

We’re not sure who invented those ridiculously ineffective glass or crystal ‘files’, thin flappy red emery boards or soft cushion-like 2-way file-buffer things, but they do not work and are most definitely not making their way into our nail kit. What is going in is this OPI Edge Nail File with 240 Grit, since it actually makes a difference to the shape without taking five minutes per talon. It also won’t leave black residue like some do.
