The present invention relates to an aesthetically appealing nail file/buffer comprising a core with an abrasive surface on at least one side of the core and a durable, decorative pattern or design. Preferably, the tool has a core which includes a substantially rigid substrate and at least one layer of resilient material laminated to the substrate. Abrasive material is adhered to at least one side of the core. The tool preferably includes materials, such as substantially transparent plastics or gels, possibly with colored pigment, which create a unique, attractive nail file. The tool typically includes a colored pattern, preferably by embedding dyes into the hiatused abrasive surface of the tool using sublimation. Alternatively, the tool may incorporate a patterned sheet under the abrasive material, the abrasive material being composed of substantially clear materials allowing the pattern to show therethrough. The sheet may include a reflective metallic or holographic pattern, a luminescent design, or the sheet may be constructed from thermochromic material.
