Crystal Glass Nail File

With all my beauty reviews and fashion posts it dawned on me that I have been slacking off on reviewing essential beauty tools so be prepared for those in the weeks to come. In the meantime here's my review for a fun yet practical must have Crystal Glass Nail File. These have been around for awhile and it took me long enough to talk about them but if you never purchased one you might be interested in the details. While you can get them in just about any drugstore or beauty mart I added a link below to a company called Top Notch which manufactures Eco-Friendly glass files at super low prices and various colors but feel free to shop around for them. Some product info added below before telling you my experiences with glass files.

Product Info From Top Notch Brand

WHY USE A CRYSTAL GLASS NAIL FILE?

The first thing you will notice when you use your crystal glass nail file, is how smooth it is on your nail. You don't get the rough, jagged edges like you do when using an emery board, metal or diamond file. A Crystal file is very smooth and gentle and yet surprisingly effective.  Metal files and emery boards tear the nail as they file, leaving rough, sharp edges. The crystal file glides across the nail tip so you can quickly and easily shape your nail to a flawless, smooth finish. Also crystal files seal the nail tip as you file, preventing water, dirt and debris from seeping into the nail tip. This is one of the reasons nails can chip, crack and peel, so after you use your crystal nail file for about one month, you will notice a considerable difference in how strong your nails are and they don't crack, chip and peel as much.

CRYSTAL NAIL FILES ARE EXTREMELY HYGIENIC. 

Unlike other nail files, the crystal glass nail file is non- porous and therefore cannot absorb water which creates an environment for disease (bacterial or fungal). Crystal glass nail files meet all the FDA requirements for sanitation including UV light, auto-clave and sterilizing solution. For at home use, you can rinse your files under warm water and pat dry with a towel, or toss them into the dishwasher!

ECO-FRIENDLY!

Each year an entire football stadium could be filled up with all of the worn out emery boards, metal files and pumice stones that are tossed into the landfills! Top Notch's crystal glass files will never dull. They will last a lifetime! Emery boards, metal files and pumice stones also have to be thrown away and replaced frequently due to the amount of bacteria that grows on them. Top Notch's files are solid crystal-glass which is non-porous, therefore fungus and bacteria can't grow on the surface, making them very hygienic. Simply rinse under warm water or toss them into the dishwasher to clean! These files also meet all the FDA sanitation requirements. Lastly, all inks and dyes used in the coloring process are lead-free and environmentally safe!  

PUMICE FILE RECOMMENDED FOR DIABETICS!

Diabetics have to take great care and caution with their feet. The Top Notch crystal pumice file is perfect because you don't have to worry about cutting yourself or rubbing to the point of bleeding. Most pumice stones have pointed corners that can cut into the skin and if you pumice too hard it can cause the skin to tear away and bleed. Top Notch's pumice file is used and recommended by a large number of Diabetics, (including our President's Mom). Our Top Notch pumice is especially safe and hygienic for those suffering with neuropathology. There are no sharp edges and you don't have to worry about breaking the skin and bleeding. Of course care should be taken when using the pumice file, but overall it is very safe, hygienic and favored by our Diabetic customers.

NEVER BUY ANOTHER NAIL FILE OR PUMICE FILE AGAIN!

The filing surface has a practically unlimited lifespan and is guaranteed never to wear out. In addition, Top Notch's crystal nail files are subjected to a hardening process that makes them 74% stronger than non-hardened regular glass files. We stand behind our products, offering a lifetime warranty. If your file ever wears down (we know it won't) or if you accidentally break it, we will replace it for free!

PROFESSIONAL USE

Top Notch's crystal glass files offer two great advantages for professionals: the excellent grinding performance ensuring high quality and gentle nail treatment; and the advantage of sterilization eliminating the risk of spreading nail infections among the customers.

CARE OF YOUR TOP NOTCH CRYSTAL GLASS NAIL AND PUMICE FILES

For at home use, simply rinse your Top Notch files under warm water and pat dry with a towel. You can also toss them in the dishwasher right alongside your knives and forks! For professional use, simply use standard FDA approved sanitation methods including UV light, auto-clave and sterilizing solution.

WHY THE TOP NOTCH BRAND IS BEST

There are many companies now manufacturing glass and crystal nail files and marketing them at very low prices. The manufacturing process varies from factory to factory and with that varies the quality. For example some factories produce and market a glass nail file where the base is glass and then a mixture of glass and other substances are adhered to the glass base. These files flake off when used and you will soon be left with a smooth surface that is no longer effective. Top Notch guarantees the highest quality crystal glass nail files on the market. Our files go through a quality check point after every step of the manufacturing process.

Based on My Drugstore Brand Glass Files

Pro: hygienic,lifetime use,smooths nails nicely,lightweight material,handy storage case,various designs and  colors, very affordable,smooth surface will not snag on skin or material,

Con: a little too thick to work with on shorter nails when filing side of the nail

My results: These crystal glass nails files are a must have in your beauty arsenal! They really smooth and shape your nails nicely. I found they were easy to handle and the material doesn't fray or wear down as with traditional emery board files. They are also are more gentle to your nails than the stainless steel version files which I think are the worse kind. At first I thought this glass file was going to be annoying to use because of the flexibility issue but they work like a charm. The only issue I had was that my nails are at a short length right now and had to maneuver a bit to get under the sides due to the thickness of the glass but it still did the job and with no snags! They also gave my nails a nice healthy shine to them. I think you guys will like having this beauty tool and you can customize to the shade or design on your choice. The prices are also affordable anywhere form $5 to $10 which is not a lot considering they last a lifetime. This gets a five starfish rating from me because of it's function, price and durability. Opinions on this?  Stay beautiful!  XOXO
