Advantages: Cheap, handy sized, can be redeemed with advantage points
Disadvantages: everybody else in the family keeps borrowing it
Since I have started back to work recently, I have become very aware of how much my nails need some attention. I keep snagging the corners of my nails on my tights and leaving those horrible little pull marks in them.
On my way home from work tonight I called into Boots to get an emery board to file them down.
I was actually quite amazed at the different amounts of files that they had on offer. Did I want emery boards that were rough, or did I want them with a finer graded surface? They were priced at about 99p for either one large sized one or 3 smaller ones. There were also all sorts of buffers, glossers and cuticle repairers! Which one should I choose, I only wanted to file my nails!!
I then found that they have a mini nail styling kit in their own range. At £1.75 it won't break the bank either.
It consists of 6 double sided emery boards, courser on one side for initial shaping of the nails and finer on the other side for a smooth finish.
There is then a glosser. Use the blue part once a month to smooth out any ridges and lines, followed by the white section to create a better finish. The other side of the glosser is grey and you use this to buff up your nails to a deep shine.
So, I filed my nails down and smoothed out all the ridges and pushed my cuticles back into place (I hate that feeling). I then buffed them up and then admired them. They look really nicely shaped, and they are so shiny that they look like I have clear nail polish on them. I have washed up since I have buffed them and they still look nice and shiny.
The kit comes in a plastic wallet about 10cm long. It will fit nicely into your handbag. Also, I redeemed this kit with my Boots Advantage Points which was even better.
