Should you be unfortunate enough to damage a nail whilst pursuing your jewellery craft work -

Cookson's Straight 7"/17.5cm Shears
(Product Code: 999 658) are excellent for making emergency repairs until you can get to your nail care professional.

Simply trim the nail carefully with the shears, and finish the repair off with a fine buff stick.

Job done!

Is this where you admit to using a needle file to take care of a rag nail (finger nails were to short to trim)

Can our new resident nail expert offer any advice for the deep gouges through my thumbnail where I've not realised I've got to the end of something and carried on sawing?

Ouch George, get some finger tape!

I have to say I am forever filing chunks out of my nails though!

Lol, I always do my nails with my jewellery equipment (shears/files), you can do a great job with the fine grade papers too;)

Don't you find your nails totally save your fingers? The amount of times I've sawn deep into my nail only to barely scrape the skin and thought 'That would have been awful if my nail hadn't taken most of the force!'=:-O
