Stylfile: Curved Nail File by Tom Pellereau and Lord Sugar

Stylfile is a nail file with an ‘S curve’ that follows the natural shape of the nails, filing and shaping them all in one step. The classic S-file Stylfile is much bigger, but I thought I’d go for the ‘Emergency File’, which is a mini-version of S-buffer stylfile, and it comes with a keyring case to prevent the file from scratching delicate items.

The keyring case cleverly secures the nail file in place, even when I bounced it up and down a couple of times to see if the file would fall out, it stayed put. It’s also loose enough to not damage the nail file.

You’re probably wondering: Does it actually work or is it more of a cute little gadget that you like the looks of but never reaches out for it? And the answer is: Yes, it DOES work! The nail file reduced my nail filing time by half because I no longer have to worry about precisely shaping the edges of my nails. It creates a subtle round shape around the sides of my nails, which is pretty much how I shape my nails with a traditional nail file, but it’s much easier with Stylfile.

After filling the nails, turn to the opposite side of the nail file and buff across the nail bed with the pink side; then rub the white side across the nail to add shine. I must say I’m really impressed with the results and I would definitely recommend getting one of these. I’m considering buying the classic Stylfile as well just to keep it at home, but for now the Emergency File is doing a sterling job!

What do you think of Stylfile, Tom Pellereau and Lord Sugar’s new curved nail file? Would you buy one?

Stylfile Emergency Nail File is available NOW from Sainsbury’s, priced at £4.49. It will also be stocked in Boots from the beginning of May.

Au revoir!
