VAGA Ocean Blue Color Crystal Nail File Set, This Nails Supply Nail Kit Includes 3 Nail Buffer File Sizes For Everyday Usage On Both Acrylic Nail And Natural Nails, Also The Perfect Stocking Gifts

I went through 2 of the Germanikure brand glass files, which I loved, but twice they broke in my backpack. After breaking 2 that cost $15 i figured it was worth a shot trying these since i could get 4 of them for less than $13. I was a bit worried they'd be the kind where grit is added onto the glass instead of etched into the glass itself, but these are the real deal. only thing I don't love is the color, but I'll take it for the price. The cases are also a nice feature. hopefully I won't be breaking any more.

These are fantastic! These glass/crystal nail files are way better than any other material. I don't like the foam, cardboard, and/or paper files for feeling too disposable. And in my opinion, metal files shred your nails, and they rust.These don't wear out like the ones that are essentially sandpaper taped to cardboard or foam: I bought these June 2014 and writing this review Oct 2018, more than four years later and still have three of the five, even after two moves, and they work the same as they did when they were new.It's a very clean and smooth file, but at the same time, removes a good bit of the nail. The performance reminds me most of the cardboard/disposable type with a heavy grit paper, if not a little bit smoother. They definitely do not shred your nails like a metal file (like the ones attached to clippers).You can also rinse them off to clean them and they dry right away thanks to a non-porous surface. The "file" is etched into the glass.The only downside to having glass files is even though they don't wear, they can break fairly easily, so if you throw them in a drawer with a bunch of other stuff and they get bent, or if you drop them the wrong way, or step or sit on one, they will break. This did happen to one of them when I first got them and thought it would end up being a problem, but I have been keeping them in a small container along with clippers, cuticle pusher, tweezers, etc and they have been fine.

I used to be a compulsive nail biter, and unsuccessfully tried several times to kick the habit. Someone finally recommended that I file my nails to smooth, so that I had no excuse to bite them. It worked!In the first several months after kicking the biting habit I didn't have much experience with nail maintenance, and was almost constantly filing them down to keep them at a proper length. Nail clippers? psht. I went through several standard files, which always wore down within a month, and decided that I needed to find a better solution. I saw these online and had to give them a go. I must say, these files are amazing! After several months of heavy use, the first and only one I have used is good as new, and doesn't appear to have any wear whatsoever. The grain is pretty course, which works perfectly for someone like myself that uses a file to shorten them. I also love that the file is thin enough to fit under my nail in order to get a perfectly smooth tip and to work around the corners.The pack comes with 5 files. I gave one to my mom, one to my brother, and have 2 stashed away in a drawer somewhere for when I eventually lose the one I use. This is by far the best investment (value/ $ spent) that I have ever made. If you go through files quickly like I used to, do yourself a favor and grab yourself a pack of these. You'll never have to buy another file again.

I can't speak for how long these files hold up to regular filing as I have just received these, but I had to jump on here to review.There are 5 files in this set, all colored as pictured. These are thick files, and are a good size. 5.5" long, and about 3mm thick. The grain is smooth, think frosted glass and will definitely get the job done for shaping or quick fixes. I used these right out of the package and was pleasantly surprised by the smooth edge it left on the ends of my nails, which is something that isn't easy to attain with normal grit emery boards. Each file comes in their own plastic protective sleeve.You won't want to drop these as they are certainly fragile which is clear as you handle them but overall, this is a great set and for the price it can't be beat! The only issue I may have with these is that they are a bit thicker than I am used to, which makes it feel a little clumsy getting under the sides of my nails... this is something I will be getting used to, because these are a great value and DEFINITELY an upgrade from normal emery boards. So far, so good!

Simply put these files are absolutely wonderful. They are durable; they do not bend like emery boards can; they do not wear out; they can be washed and sterilized; they leave a smooth surface on your nails so that they feel "normal" immediately instead of that odd fresh filing feel. They are a great deal since this pack of 5 is the same price as for 1 glass file I found at a name brand beauty supply store.The bad news - They CAN break. I dropped one of mine and it hit something hard, breaking into big pieces.The good news - It didn't shatter into tiny splinters. I found all 4 little pieces easily and was confident there weren't any shards of glass lurking on my floor to stab me later.The other good news - They come in a FIVE pack! I still have three more (gave one away as a gift) to use despite breaking one.The bottom line - WELL worth the money and they make filing nails a quick and pleasant experience.
