Don't be a square ...

      You could use a normal file like I did or a buffing block to get rid of these "shavings" too.

      Thank you love, I <3 you too!

    Do you have any experience från OPI dimond file? It's really nice, but the grit is 180/240 so i wounder if it's too rough..

    I have tried going with a square shape before, but those little corners always seem to break and split...Take care!
