Product Information
Full details
The Debenhams Nail File in Black is an ideal tool for individuals seeking a professional-grade solution for at-home nail maintenance, suitable for both natural and acrylic nails. Its primary benefit lies in its chemically-etched tempered glass surface, which provides precision filing that seals nail edges to prevent future splitting and peeling; however, users should note that as it is made of glass, it requires careful handling to avoid accidental breakage if dropped on hard surfaces.

FAQs
Can I use this file on acrylic nails?
Yes, the tempered glass is hard enough to shape and smooth acrylic enhancements effectively.
How do I clean the file?
Simply rinse it under warm running water. You may use a soft brush or mild soap if there is significant buildup.
Will the glass break easily?
While it is made of tempered glass and is quite durable, it remains glass; avoid dropping it on hard surfaces like tile or stone.
How long will the file last?
The file is rated for over 10,000 hours of use, provided it is cared for and not physically broken.
Should I file my nails while they are wet?
It is generally better to file nails when they are dry to prevent tearing, though the glass file is gentle enough to be used on slightly damp nails if necessary.
Does this file come with a case?
Please check your specific packaging, but it is recommended to store it in a protective sleeve or soft-lined compartment to protect the edges.
Troubleshooting
The file feels less effective after several uses.
Nail dust has likely built up in the etched texture. Wash the file thoroughly with warm water and a mild soap to restore its original grit.
Nails are still splitting after filing.
Ensure you are using a light, single-direction stroke. Aggressive back-and-forth sawing can override the sealing effect of the glass.

Care Instructions:
- After each use, tap the file gently to remove excess nail dust.
