Proper filing from a manicure

    The last couple of times I've had my nails done, the filing was always "let's keep the shape we have" and a rough few strokes of a file, leaving my nails uneven!

    I'd like to go, and have them filed to match, so that they are neat looking - I am purely useless at doing it myself being honest.

    Can anyone recommend a good manicurist in the city centre, that won't charge me a small fortune? I want the short, square neat variety, as I do have a decent nail bed and when painted they look quite good.

    Thanks in advance

    I went to Revive Express on Dawson Street and had a lovely manicure a couple of weeks ago - they have a drop-in service but recommend booking for busy periods like lunchtime. File and polish is €20 which is pretty standard.

    My nails are soft and brittle but I was very happy with the squoval shape she gave to my nails, and afterwards invested in a Leighton Denny crystal nail file that I've used to keep the shape ever since.

    Thank you I'll check them out :)
    I have some strong nails, and some brittle ones - my right hand is the worst, and both forefingers! I have a crystal file actually but I hate using it for some reason, though I do believe it is better than emery boards!
