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!

 

FAQ's

How long does it take before I notice a difference in my nails? When you use emery boards or metal nail files they cause micro-fractures to your nails. The surface of a Crystal Glass Nail Files is so gentle it “seals” the edge of your nails reducing the splitting, cracking and peeling. With extended use your nails will be stronger.

Can I Sterlize my Crystal Glass Nail File by putting it in the dishwasher? If your file is decorated with hand painting, crystals or stones, we do not recommend placing it in the dishwasher. The hot water temperature will not harm the file, but it will destroy any decoration on the file handle. Routine cleaning with soap and water is the most useful method for removing germs.

Can I take my Crystal Glass Nail File with me on the plane? Since there are no additives used in the production of our Crystal Glass Nail Files, the airport scanners do not read or scan the nail file. This applies to our hand painted designs ONLY! Our handles decorated with crystals, stones or silver, will be picked up on airport scanners

Remember, if you have other items in your carry-on that the security scanner picks up, there is a good chance, when your bag is searched, your hand painted crystal nail file will be confiscated.

Are Crystal Glass Nail Files safe to use on children and babies? Crystal Nail Files are ideal for use on tiny fragile nails and for use by diabetics. Please go to our Testimonial Page and read the statement from Jennifer Blomgren, R.N., Certified Foot Care Nurse. Jennifer tells you everything you need to know regarding the gentleness of our Crystal Nail Files.

How do I use the Foot File ? Our foot file is designed to remove hardened and calloused skin from your feet, elbows or any place you have a callous. We suggest using your Foot File before you get in the shower, as wet hands and glass files to do not make for a safe situation!

For optimum use, be sure to clean your foot file regularly, scrubbing your file with an old toothbrush. This helps remove the “gunk” (a highly technical term) from the grit of your foot file.
