nail filing

Shaping fingertip keratin

Nail filing is the act of shaping or smoothing fingernails or toenails with a file or emery board.

The motion is typically back and forth or in one direction across the nail's edge.

Beyond grooming, nail filing serves as a stock image of idle activity or feminine primping: She sat at her desk filing her nails while ignoring the ringing phone.
