Shape and buff your nails with one tool.

Product details: Use the coarse side to smooth any rough edges. The smoother side will smooth and soften any harsh edges. Be sure to use soft strokes when using nail files - it's better to take an extra couple of strokes to achieve your desired look, rather than filing too much at once.

How to Use

How to use: File your nails in a swift but gentle motion, side to side, using the softer side. Use the coarse side to buff your nails by placing the buffer flat on top of the nail bad and gently moving it side to side.

FAQs

Answers to common questions about application, wear, and care.

ella+mila polish is designed to be gentle on nails. We always recommend using a base coat to help prevent staining and ensure smooth, even application.

For best results, apply 2–3 thin coats, allowing each layer to dry before the next. Thin layers help the color look smoother and more even.

Dry time can vary depending on how thin each coat is applied. For best results, allow a few minutes between layers and finish with a top coat to help seal and protect your manicure.

We recommend using both. A base coat helps polish adhere and apply more evenly, while a top coat seals in color and adds a glossy finish.

ella+mila polishes are made without many of the harsh chemicals commonly found in traditional polish and are designed to be gentle on nails when used as directed.

Yes. ella+mila is cruelty-free and vegan, and our products are never tested on animals.

Colors may vary slightly depending on lighting, screen settings, and the number of coats applied. We recommend viewing customer photos for real-life examples.
