We generally frown upon PDG (public displays of grooming) but this floral-patterned mini-file is so charming, we’re tempted to make an exception. Inspired by Madewell’s new spring collection, which features sun-ready prints and patterns like this one, the emery board is as practical as it is pretty. The double-sided nail care essential is perfect for daily maintenance and as a quick fix for snags or breaks.
I loved the pretty floral design on one side of the emery board and the soft pink color on the other side, but beyond that, this was a typical nail file. I probably won't be repurchasing, but not because there was anything wrong with it, just because it wasn't anything extraordinary. I love the Birchbox partnership with Madewell, though!
5As far as nail files go, I loved the look of this one, but not the durability. The filing paper is peeling off of the board and ripping along the edges. I did like the carrying case though, so while I ended up tossing the file, I kept the case and just use it for a better quality nail file.
