    Proud of you for breaking the habit! Not sure if you’re masc or fem, but I’m masc and all I do is clip them before they get too long which helps prevent the buildup of dirt. Nail clippers also usually have a little scraper attachment that works great for getting dirt out when you notice it. I’ve never felt the need to file my nails, but you may prefer the extra smoothness!

        Yeah and if the scraper is textured on a side that’s for filing. Be careful with cheap files though they can have sharp edges. I recently learned the joys of cutting right into the tip of my finger this way
