Is "limar" a reflexive verb?

Question

Hi everybody!

According to lesson 2.5 - Reflexive Verbs and the Morning Routine - the verb limar is a reflexive verb, Limarse la uñas is To cut one's nails. I looked for the verb in the verb conjugation and found the following:

limar (Full Translation)

This verb cannot be reflexive.

I am little bit confused about this verb. Is it reflexive or not?

Thanks

I think limar is 'to file' more than 'to cut' :) - Kiwi-Girl, Nov 23, 2011

¿me limo las uñas con una lima de Metal o una lima de cartón?

Of course, you can find anything online if you look hard enough. Not everyone uses correct grammar. I saw it used non-reflexively more that reflexively.
