James, there are several marketing and legislative hurdles for such a 
venture that you should be aware of.   Firstly your idea is not new.

There is already a US marketing company with the reserved web 
address:

wwwe.set.up.an.e.business.selling.nailefiles.first.so.nyah.nyah.com

This has established a leading position in your proposed market 
niche.   

 Despite the appeal of being able to sell direct to the  
worlds largest market, the USA, there is a strong consumer lobby 
supported by consumer activist Ralph Nadar seeking to outlaw the 
import of left handed sourced  nailfiles into what is a right hand 
drive country.   You may be forced to convert all your nailfiles to 
being right handed  before they may be sold there.

Furthermore there are environmental lobby groups that are 
suggesting that manufacturers must pay the pollution costs of their 
production.    It has been widely suggested that when nail filings  
are dissolved in sulphuric acid,  the discharged waste is not dolphin 
friendly.

Given these hurdles you have no chance of you raising money in this 
country.    I suggest you go straight to the NASDQ as you did with 
your last venture.      We look forward to news snapshots of your 
progress.    Please feel free to send 'sharechat' readers any 
relevant clippings from your nail filing venture.   All the best.
