Two Way Glass Nail File
¥110
The basis of every good manicure is a really good set of well-cared-for fingernails, and that all starts with trimming your nails. If you aren’t careful, you can splinter your nail with a dull pair of clippers. Try using a nail file instead for more control and precise shapes. This file from CanDo is great as it’s reusable and easy to clean. It’s made of glass, so it’s gentle on the nail but allows for speedy nail shaping. They can be found in-store at CanDo or online.

These also work great for cleaning up the edges of your nails if you accidentally get nail polish on your skin. They can be found in-store at Daiso or online.
