I am a nail novice here and have realised from looking at the site that this is an important area and I haven't mastered it.
I am at college and we use emery boards to file. I can't get the hang of them and end up filing nails quite a way down and still leaving very ragged edges. I have to use an emery board for my exam.
Also, for myself and for others in private use what kind of file do I buy. There seems to be so many different things when I go in the wholesalers that I'm not sure what to buy or what to ask for.
Is it true that with some kinds of files that you can file back and forth?
Is there a different technique to using these files?
How long do these boards last and do I use one for each client like an emery board or is it possible to clean them between clients. How many clients to a file?
Are there different files for different things or different problems eg flaky nails?
Sorry know must sound like an idiot but I really want to get it right.
