Not worth It
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So disappointed. Lippmann gave out the best nail file as a GWP and I had that for over 3 years and left it on a plane. So, I bought this and am amazed at how terrible it is. I realize it's for a specific use, but it's not well made and fell apart in a few months.

Works great on grandbaby
Purchased for myself, used on my grandbaby and it worked great. so purchased another for her. Its Non abrasive and keeps her nails short so less cutting with clippers.

Best buffing ever
This does a beautiful job buffing your nails to a nice smooth shine. It’s a little squishy and bendy which makes it comfortable to hold and use. For those of us that don’t polish our fingernails, it gives a nicely groomed finish

Liked it BUT...
I purchased this nail file not too long ago. When I first tried it, I liked it and it got the job done. My nails looked great and shiny. However, after only a few uses it started peeling on the edges and then in the surface of the buffer. Definitely not worth the money! You’ll most likely be able to find something cheaper and lasts longer than this did for me.
