Premium Particular Glass Nail File with Case, Both Sided Filer, Crystal Beauty Nail File Salon Nail Shine Top, Rose Gold

A bit of background: It's been about 15 years since I started using glass files. I hated emery boards and metal files (the feel of them and how long it took to use them, and it never quite did what I wanted), but I happened to work at a craft store that sold glass files and I tried one (it was broken and going to the trash) and immediately bought 2 so I could have one at home and one in my purse. My nails were chronically weak, jagged, and splitting, and glass files just seemed to erase all of that; the key thing for this was having one available when anything happened to a nail at all times. Over the years I bought several others, for gifts and for myself, and started running into a problem: glass is fragile XDSo, in 2018 I got on Amazon to specifically find a glass file that came with a sturdy case. The filing surfaces themselves don't wear out, but reaching into a purse full of broken glass is a big nope. I actually found this brand but a different version, and decided to give it a try. I was completely sold: it did everything I wanted, and came in a case. It actually did MORE than I expected, because I had never tried buffing my nails.Which brings me to this specific file, which I purchased Feb 2022 so that I could once again have a file at home and in my purse. I've found there are a couple differences between this one and the previous file I purchased:- The old file is "weaker" and doesn't file as well. In some ways, this makes it a better buffer, but not the best file. The new file is much more effective, and a few vertical swipes at the end of a nail removes a huge amount: I actually use the file to trim my nails instead of clippers because it just gives me so much more control.- The new file doesn't have as snug a fit on the cover. An extremely minor drawback, and based on other reviews it's probably a flaw with just my file. The files themselves are much thicker than the ones I used to have that would break, so I'm not as worried about it breaking if the cover slipped off in my bag. I also don't really like that the cover is transparent, because debris from filing is visible and kinda messy looking (easily fixed with rinsing occasionally, but it's a thing).- Because the new file is so much stronger, it's not great for buffing unless you can be very careful. I accidentally put deep grooves across all my nails trying to buff them and had to wait for them to grow back out. I don't buff my nails often and I still have the other file, so I don't consider this a drawback, just a difference.If you have issues with splitting nails, hangnails, or if you're extremely sensitive to any rough edges (like I am), this is a fantastic tool to keep handy (pun intended). I'm very particular about how my nails are shaped, and fixing a rough/cracked nail as soon as I notice it keeps me from ripping it off and making things worse. Being able to fix it in about 2 seconds and have a shiny smooth edge is the best feeling ever.

What a great file I love this Mighty Mouse of a pocket nail file very much.

This item replaced one that was accidentally dropped on the floor. This type of nail file is very fragile.

Looks cute and works well

I ordered this file to use on my 2 yro nephew's nails and it worked! It quickly and perfectly filed down his nails with no pain and minor hassle from my nephew. I also used it on myself to see how it worked and it is way better than any file I've used before. I didn't have to worry about wearing out the file and just rinsed it and patted it dry to clean. The case is snug on the file and it's not see through so I don't have to worry about it looking messy like I saw on a previous review. The file feels sturdy and I'm really happy with it!

I bought this during the pandemic and i love it. It was recently stolen so im buying another

It arrived cracked in half. Before discarding it, I did try a piece of it on my thumbnail and it worked very nicely. Ordered a new one. Fingers crossed it has a gentler journey.

Unlike traditional emery boards, glass nail files offer a smoother and more precise filing experience. Made from durable tempered glass, these files have a gentle grit that helps prevent chipping and peeling. They are also easier to clean and maintain, ensuring a hygienic and long-lasting tool for your nail care routine.
