Where to buy a quality nail file in a chemist's?

Pointed, ballerina, square or drop-shaped, let your imagination shape your nails! Nail filing is a habitual gesture for those who like to take care of their beauty. Used to shorten and shape nails, the nail file is an essential part of the manicure kit. Whether you're looking for cardboard, glass or metal nail files, you'll find our new range of nail care files in your online organic pharmacy.

If you're looking for quality nail files for use at home or on the move, you can find a wide variety of choices in your pharmacy. Nail files are essential tools for a successful manicure, and you can find glass, metal, paper and crystal files in this category.

What types of nail file are available?

Glass files are very popular because of their durability and ease of use. They often have two sides, one rough for filing and the other finer for polishing. Metal files are also durable, but may require a little more technique to avoid damaging the nail. Paper files are ideal for one-off use and can be discarded after use. Crystal files are very smooth and effective for a precise finish, but can be more expensive than other types of file.

It's important to choose a nail file suited to your needs and nail type. If your nails are fragile, opt for a glass or crystal file, which are softer and less likely to cause damage. Metal files can be more aggressive and should be used with care. If you have thick or very hard nails, a metal file may be more effective.

What shape of nail file do you need?

Nail files come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Straight files are the most common, but you can also find curved, crescent-shaped or banana-shaped files. Straight files are ideal for a precise finish, while curved files are more suited to natural and artificial nails. Crescent-shaped files are perfect for filing the corners and sides of nails, while banana-shaped files are ideal for curved nails.

When buying nail files from a chemist, you can be sure of finding quality products at affordable prices. Nail files are an essential part of any manicure kit, allowing you to care for your nails at home. By choosing the right file for your nails, you can achieve a smooth, professional finish without having to go to the beautician.

In conclusion, if you're looking for quality nail files for use at home or on the go, the Soin-et-Nature pharmacy is a great place to start your search. By choosing the right file for your needs and nail type, you can achieve a professional manicure at home, while saving money and time.

What are nail files used for?

Shaping: Nail files can be used to sculpt nail edges into a variety of shapes: square, oval, round, almond or stiletto. This process contributes not only to aesthetics, but also to the prevention of snags and breaks.
Nail preparation: Before applying cosmetics such as varnish or UV gels, files prepare the nail surface. They eliminate irregularities and facilitate adhesion of applied products.
Finishing and maintenance: files smooth rough edges after nail trimming. They are also used to remove ridges or polish nail surfaces, giving them a smooth, even appearance.
Protecting the natural nail: Proper filing prevents nail splitting and splintering. Files adapted to nail type allow you to work gently, respecting their structure.

Which nail file to choose according to material and grain?

Nail files come in a range of materials and shapes to meet the varied needs of users.

By material

Emery paper files Emery paper files, made from abrasive layers attached to a flexible backing, are lightweight and often disposable. They are suitable for both natural and artificial nails. They are particularly popular for their affordability and ease of use.
Glass files Designed for gentle action, glass files are ideal for fragile nails or nails prone to splitting. Their abrasive surface smoothes edges without weakening the nail. Durable and hygienic, they are easy to disinfect.
Metal files Metal files are robust and suitable for thick or hard nails. However, their use on fragile natural nails can be too abrasive, making them more suitable for artificial nails.
Ceramic files Ceramic files combine durability and delicacy. They are suitable for natural and fragile nails, while offering good precision when working on artificial nails.

By grain (grit)

A file's grain, expressed in grit, defines its abrasive power. The lower the number, the more abrasive the file:

Coarse grit (80-100 grit): Suitable for shortening artificial nails and removing materials such as gel or acrylic.
Medium grit (120-180 grit): Suitable for thick natural nails or for shaping artificial nails.
Fine grit (240 grit and over): Ideal for smoothing the edges of natural nails or for a soft finish.
Ultra-fine polishers (1000 grit and more): Designed to polish nail surfaces to a brilliant shine without the use of chemicals.

By shape

Straight file The straight file is classic and versatile. Ideal for shaping nail edges and smoothing surfaces.
Banana file Its curved shape makes it easier to work close to the cuticle and file edges precisely without excessive effort.
Block file (buffer) This type of file, often cubic, is designed to polish the nail surface. It removes ridges and prepares the nail for polish or gel application.
