Nail files are commonly made from emery, a type of abrasive material composed primarily of corundum (aluminum oxide) and other minerals like magnetite. Corundum is known for its hardness, making it effective for shaping and smoothing nails. Some nail files may also use other materials, such as glass or ceramic, but emery remains a traditional and widely used option.
