ABSTRACT:
A fingernail file has a cylindrical dowel and a filing implement on each end. The filing implements may be shaped in many different configurations including parabolic, conical or oval, but are symmetrical. Each filing implement has inner and outer layers which are bonded to the dowel. The outer layer is a thin sheet of abrasive, emery paper or fine sand paper. The inner layer is a thicker cushion or padding. The file is designed to reduce or remove the growth ridge which develops at the interface on the underside of the fingernail between the end of a natural fingernail and an artificial fingernail. The user holds the dowel and places one of the implements in contact with the subject fingernail. By manually twirling or rotating the dowel about its axis, the nail interface is gently but firmly abraded.
