DescriptionThis GERmanikure crystal glass file is handcrafted in the Czech Republic from thick Bohemian glass and specially formulated and tempered against breaking. Unlike thinner cheap imitations where the file may break or texture may eventually scrape or even peel off like a sticker the texture on this file is chemically etched directly into the 3mm thick glass and is impossible to wear off. Chemical etching gently removes a portion of the surface of the file leaving behind random yet evenly placed rounded peaks. As a result this file can actually be used either wet or dry in both directions without causing microscopic frays and gouges on either nails or cuticles.

Use the file as a meditative tool as you shape your nails. The subtle sandblasting on the handle has a delicate texture to help remind you to center your thoughts.

Seal the Nail Surface
Nail files with a grit added to the surface exhibit sharp peaks and irregular valleys in the texture that can gouge or scratch the nail surface. GERmanikure Czech glass nail files are crafted with a uniform surface texture that results in a smooth polished nail edge that reduces the risk of cracking and delamination. Don't sand your nails seal them.

Hygienic and Sterilizable
Glass cleans up easily with simple soap and water and is durable enough to hold up to a chemical bath or steam sterilizer (up to 170 degrees Celsius).

Use Wet or Dry
GERmanikure glass nail files work equally well wet or dry on natural nails acrylics or even just rough callused areas of skin. Whatever you want to smooth these glass files are strong and durable enough to do the job.

Dual Direction Filing
Unlike single direction files that "sand" the nail a crystal glass nail file seals the edge of the nail with every stroke regardless whether that stroke is backwards forwards or a combination of both. After filing with a crystal glass nail file and examined at many times magnification a freshly filed nail edge is smooth and polished a nail that is filed with a "sanded" nail file have microscopically frayed edges.

Tough and Durable
GERmanikure crystal glass files aren't as brittle as you might think. The files are crafted of 3mm thick authentic Bohemian glass which is chemically hardened and tempered to resist breaking. This special glass treatment not only enhances the clarity and sparkle of the glass but also adds resiliency. While breakage is possible with all glass dropping a GERmanikure crystal glass file from a short distance (such as counter height to floor) will in most cases not break the file.

Suede Case

This file comes complete with a custom fitted suede sleeve to provide additional protection. Suede is naturally cushioning and dehumidifying. The case will prevent damage to the file when it is not in use as well as additional shock absorption in case the file is accidentally dropped when not in use.
