Facts About Our Genuine Crystal Nail File
Don’t Be Fooled By Cheap Knock-offs While imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, cheap knockoffs are an insult. Knockoffs may look similar, but there are distinct differences.
Tempered versus Non-Tempered ~ Glass that is strengthened through the process of heating and then cooling the surface rapidly is known as Tempered Glass. This process creates surface comprehension and tensile strength that causes glass to resist breakage, yet disintegrate into small pieces if a break occurs. Genuine Crystal Glass Nail Files are tempered and consistently test at 102% stronger than regular glass.
Hardened versus Non-Hardened ~ During the last phase of production, Genuine Crystal Glass Nail Files are hardened increasing their mechanical firmness. Genuine Crystal Glass Nail Files are hardened improving their resistance to breakage.
Lead and Chemicals ~ Knock-off manufacturers may add lead or other undesirable additives or use chemicals during their manufacturing process files. Genuine Crystal Glass Nail Files are environmentally safe.
Etched Grit versus Bonded Grit ~ Epoxy is used to bond grit to the filing surface of cheaper files. The grit can wear off. The filing surface on Genuine Crystal Glass Nail files are acid-etched right into the surface. That is why Genuine Crystal Glass Nail Files are guaranteed to never wear out or wear down.
Color ~ Knock-off colored file handles easily scratch. The color will come off when it comes in contact with water. The color also fades. The handles on Genuine Crystal Glass Nail Files have a matte finish that never wears off or fades.
Float Glass Process versus Sheet Glass Process ~ Sheet Glass Process produces a lower quality glass than glass produced using the Float Glass Process. Genuine Crystal Glass Nail Files are produced using the Float Glass Process. This is the same process used to make fine wine glasses and expensive crystal items.
Thickness ~ Knock-off files are thicker. The Float Glass Process used to produce Genuine Crystal Glass Nail Files controls the thickness of the files. Like a fine wine glass, once you hold a Genuine Crystal Glass Nail File in your hand, you’ll recognize the difference immediately!
