There's not a whole lot to say about this but it's still pretty good. Both sides of the Medium banana file are of good quality sand paper and work for the labelled purpose - shortening and shaping. The shortening side is somewhat coarse but it does the job. The finer shaping side is a finer paper and overall I prefer this one for all filing. The board comes in a little plastic sleeve which fits snugly. It's a wide board so if you use up one edge you can switch to the other side. The only complaint I've got is that it's quite thick, about 5mm wide, so it's not so easy to get it right under the nail if you want to tidy up a very short nail.
Overall, I recommend this nail file. It's well made and good value.
This is such a great nail file, I never thought i'd be reviewing or even giving much thought to what file I purchased and used. Essence's file is super affordable and a great size. Its thick and sturdy, which is so nice as I hate ones that break easily due to being so thin and flimsy. This is amazing at scraping and filing off excess nail polish or anything on the fingernail/nail area, the two sides are both great for shaping and styling the nail - super easy to hold while using, the best on the market.
