natural nails

Angela Atwater and Camelia Hahn

Sound recording of a metal nail file, filing short natural nails. The sound is very repetitive due to the back and forth nature of the products, however it is louder than most emery boards due to being made out of ground metal. The sound has a low echoing tone since metal files were made for thicken nails like acrylics, so the sound it makes when used on thinner natural nails is not as loud, but it is still an iconic sound associated with beauty and fashion.

Recorded using IPhone 7plus Voice Memo.
