Nails grow about 1mm per month, and it takes 6-8 months to replace an entire nail. That&#8217;s a lot of time spent filing down your hard work! Instead, switch to glass nail files for a professional look without sacrificing your natural nails. With our handy guide, you&#8217;ll be able to find out which type is best for you and how often you should file them down. So what are you waiting for? Read on!<\/p>\n<p>Nail Files are one of those things that you always have on hand: for fixing tiny chips, filing nails into shape, and keeping your manicure looking fresh. But if you&#8217;ve been using a standard metal file like me \u2013 then you know how frustrating it can be when it starts to rust in just a few months after use. It leaves ugly marks all over my nails and makes the process so much more time-consuming than it needs to.<\/p>\n<h2>The benefits of using glass nail files<\/h2>\n<p>Glass nail files are a much safer alternative to metal and emery boards. They&#8217;re also more effective than using your fingernail for buffing, filing, or shaping the nails. The best part is that they are reusable, so you don&#8217;t have to buy new ones every time you want to give yourself a manicure.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vplantmakeupartistry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/glassnailfiles2.jpg\" alt=\"filing nails\" width=\"858\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.vplantmakeupartistry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/glassnailfiles2.jpg 858w, http:\/\/www.vplantmakeupartistry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/glassnailfiles2-300x137.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.vplantmakeupartistry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/glassnailfiles2-768x350.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 858px) 100vw, 858px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Forget about those old-fashioned metal nail files and emery boards which can be rough on your nails, hard on your cuticles, and may even cause painful splinters when misused. Switch to glass nail files instead. You&#8217;ll get professional results without any of the risks associated with traditional manicuring tools. Plus, these convenient little pads are reusable &#8211; pop them in the dishwasher after use.<\/p>\n<h2>How to use the glass nail files<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-41\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vplantmakeupartistry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/glassnailfiles3.jpg\" alt=\"shaping the nails\" width=\"230\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.vplantmakeupartistry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/glassnailfiles3.jpg 330w, http:\/\/www.vplantmakeupartistry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/glassnailfiles3-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.vplantmakeupartistry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/glassnailfiles3-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/>Glass nail files are a great alternative to chemical-laden emery boards. They won&#8217;t scratch your nails like a traditional file, and they&#8217;re durable enough for everyday use. But don&#8217;t just take my word for it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Glass is gentle &#8211; unlike the abrasive paper or plastic used in a typical emery board, glass can be used without fear of scratching your nails. The smooth surface of the file will gently buff away any rough edges from your nails so that they look their best at all times.<\/li>\n<li>Glass is safe &#8211; many people have been exposed to toxic chemicals while using an emery board.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Glass nail files are perfect for women. They&#8217;re made of durable, natural glass and come in a range of shapes to get into all the nooks and crannies on your fingertips. They&#8217;re long-lasting, so you&#8217;ll be able to use them again and again without worrying about buying more, they&#8217;re easy to clean with soap and water or rubbing alcohol when necessary, they don&#8217;t smell like chemical-laden plastic ones that can make people sick if used consistently over time, and they are gentle enough not to damage nails or cuticles&#8211;plus it&#8217;s eco-friendly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that nails are the hardest part of your body?
