Nail clipper and nail file recommendations

[Kitty]

Broke a nail at a friend's today, and she lent me her diamond file. It feels a bit flimsy, but the file's actually very good—just the right grit for natural nails. It says Viva Instruments on it, and she bought it online direct from them.

just the right grit for natural nails.

I expect there's a lot of variability in fingernail hardness, so "just right" might depend on the person.

I meant natural nails as opposed to acrylic ones. A lot of people wear these for some reason I've never been able to fathom (along with spraying yourself orange, walking about with what appear to be caterpillars on your eyelids, and making your lips look as if someone recently punched you), and they need coarser files.

ETA: Oh, and that eyebrow thing. When I was in my teens some people plucked their eyebrows into a thin line, and now they draw them on like a toddler let loose with a Sharpie.

Best glass nail file I’ve found is from Shein.
They need to be the “etched” type rather than coated in ground glass.

Cost of living blah blah has reduced to junk, all of the metal beauty items (nail file, tweezers etc) I used to use for years. They have become so flimsy as to be useless. Spending more doesn’t help.
