Glass Nail File.
Tempered glass, not the cardboard emery board that shreds after a week. The grit is etched into the surface rather than glued on top, so it files the same on day one and month six.

Protective sleeve included
Your sets don't need filing — soft gel arrives already shaped. This is for the nails underneath, between wears. Also in The Nail Kit.
What's in the box
32 soft-gel nails in 16 sizes, and 3 tab sheets. No glue required, the tabs are in the box.
How to apply
Wash up, push cuticles back, dry completely. Press a tab onto your bare nail, smooth every bubble out, peel the top film, then line the nail up at the cuticle, tilt down, and press hard for a slow 30 count. Give it an hour before water. Long-hold day? Brush glue over the tab before the set goes on. The full walkthrough is on the technique page.
Will they fit my nails?
16 sizes with spares for both hands, and flexible soft gel that presses to your curve instead of fighting it. A curve mismatch is the number one reason press-ons pop off. Match each nail once and you'll know your numbers forever.
Tabs, glue, and real wear times
Tabs alone: up to 5 days, with the right prep. That's the design, and it's why the set survives to be worn again. Tabs + glue, the combo the press-on groupies run: up to 2 weeks. Straight glue: 2+ weeks. Whichever you pick, a lifted nail is a 30-second fix with a fresh tab.
Shipping & returns

Why glass beats an emery board
-
It seals the edge instead of tearing it.
Cardboard grit shreds the layers at the tip — that's what starts a peel or a split. Glass leaves a closed edge.
-
It's washable.
Non-porous, so it rinses clean. An emery board absorbs oil and dust and can't be sanitised, and most people keep one far longer than they should.
-
The grit is etched, not glued.
Nothing to wear smooth or flake off, so it files the same in month six.
- File your natural nail in one direction rather than sawing back and forth.
- Use the tip to take a press-on down a touch if you want it shorter.
- Rinse it under water when it loads up — glass washes clean, cardboard doesn't.
Nails to use it on.
Press. Wear. Peel. Repeat.
Stick a tab, press for 30 seconds. Minutes, not an appointment. No dry time.
True-short leaves less edge to catch. Tabs alone carry up to 5 days with the right prep. The glue move is there when you want longer.
Lift from the side and the whole set comes off clean. No soaking, no drilling.
Long-hold day? Brush glue over the tab before the set goes on. Full walkthrough on the technique page.
