Older files were better
"The previous older version of the files said “shaping” on one rougher side & “finishing” on the other, smoother side. They were definitely better quality. I wish I could find the one I lost."

"The previous older version of the files said “shaping” on one rougher side & “finishing” on the other, smoother side. They were definitely better quality. I wish I could find the one I lost."
"I have used the Revlon compact Emeryl Nail File for ages and it works well. There is good grip to hold and both sides are useful for shaping/smoothing. The material is well made metal , easy to clean."
"The packaging says ""one side shapes edges the other smooths nails"". Yet both sides appear to be the same, and both sides performed the same. I scanned the QR code on the back of the packaging to see you what I was missing, because both sides feel very much alike. And after reading reviews, I think that Revlon should update the product or remove the statement I quotes above. As far as I can tell, this product is the same on both sides, and the other reviews sound like they are aligned with my opinion."
"I agree with all the reviews that want the old style back! Both sides seem to be the same grit and don't like the compact size. I'm having trouble getting my nails smooth and finally went back to my very old one which is so much better."
"File works, but both sides appear to be the same, or almost distinguishable from one another, even under magnification. Also, no cleaning tips. And I can’t help it notice that there are zero answers to any of the questions or concerns. Horrible marketing."
"Very light weight easy to handle. Nice to have just in purse for durability. Effective when i break a nail and need to file it down which happens often due to work."
"This Revlon nail file is simple but really effective. It’s strong enough to shape nails quickly without being too rough, and the handle makes it easy to control. I like how compact it is — perfect to keep in my bag for quick touch-ups. It’s also very durable; I’ve used it several times and it still works like new. For the price, it’s definitely a good value and does exactly what it’s supposed to do"
"I've used this nail file for years. I lost my last one and immediately bought a new one. They last forever and are just the most consistent in filing your nails."
"I’ve had this nail file for years. Truly has been a staple in my nail care routine everytime. Love the pick at the end too. It’s small enough to fit in my little nail bag. And sturdy enough to last years."
"I like these because they're thinner getting a more clean edge. They last longer since they're metal and don't bend; definitely get your bang for your buck."
