I like the sound of the Sea Siren Hard Case Glass Travel Nail File. It might help me manage my extremely fragile nails.

Crystal files are AWESOME, I'll never go back to the regular files after using the crystal ones.

I like short, shaped nails so I do my nails every weekend. Clippers, cuticle pusher/trimmer, a clean under my nails, smooth with emery board, buff, cuticle cream, hand cream... It's a lot of work and by the time I'm finished I'm too tired to polish my nails, but maybe one day!

Nail clippers and a nail strengthening polish are must haves for me.

I've only just started to look after my nails again. They are so weak and fragile that I gave up on them.

My kit includes Nail polish remove, nail file, nail scissors, cuticle cream, base and top coat and drying drops - don't use any tools to push back or remove my cuticles - they are there to prevent infection to the nail.

A good pair of scissors & file is all I need - my nails are pretty low maintenance.

I use nearly all of these products, but I mostly use a crystal nail file, a nail buffer and cuticle oil.
