Quick survey

Only clippers ever. Larger for toes and small for fingers. Never had a problem.

That is not the emoticon I chose, why has it changed?

Neither! Cringe.?

Emery board. Tried glass ones, don't like them.

Wide Emery board

Emery.

Completely divided opinion! But in itself that was useful. It was for someone else’s commercial venture.

So what was the verdict Lucca?

Yuck, none. The whole idea gives me the nurds.

Glass

Emery board - didn't know you could get glass ones!

Steel sets my teeth on edge

Emery board

Emery board but the very wide ones

I use metal nail clippers to cut, a metal file to clean and some file/buffer thingies, which are very good, I never use the buffer side!

Another Leighton Denny Chrystal file fan ????

Is it weird to admit I’ve never used a nail file of any description? I just cut them with a pair of fine nail scissors. Nail files in my mind equate to blackboard dragging. I don’t even like watching somebody do their own ?

Never used either ( bite my nails) much cheaper ???

Diamond, they cost about £5 and last up to 5 years without going dull.

Glass

Whichever is handiest.

Neither, have always bitten my nails

The Leighton Denny crystal file is the Rolls Royce of the nail file world.
I am something if a nail officianado (sp?)
Then I would go for an Emery board, and metal only if it was a dire emergency.

Thank you everyone that has proved useful and interesting.

Emery board .

Glass for me - an emery board splits my nails. However I use a steel one on my toe nails or is that TMI??
