Glass Nail files have a relatively long history, from their first step in Switzerland about 50 years ago, to the next step in the late 90's. Right now original glass nail files are produced only in the Czech Republic. Why? Because of the Czech made glass qualities, which can guaranty you the 6 characteristics specified below.A glass nail file, also known as a crystal nail file  is an ideal tool for your natural or artificial nails, yet it is not as commonly known as other nail care tools. Professionals in beauty salons use glass nail files for manicure and pedicure procedures.  However, individuals can use glass and crystal nail files for their own needs in everyday life.

A crystal nail file has a life long guarantee with an abrasive surface, which will never wear off. Crystal nail files are an ideal tool for professional nail care. When properly used, these crystal nail files will replace all your other nail files.

Crystal Czech-Republic glass nail files are made of, Czech glass, and have been proven harmless by the “Czech government Health Institute in Prague”.

There are several stages in producing the crystal and glass nail file:

Only Czech glass is able to guarantee elasticity and firmness at the same time, preventing breakage.

-    Creation of a special glass alloy
-    Glass hardening
-    Cutting a traditional glass nail file’s form
-    Creation of polishing surface
-    Polishing glass nail file‘s end
-    Glass nail file is ready for coloring and decoration

Due to engineers using special technology of glass processing, these glass nail files compare favorably with others. Polishing surfaces are unique. In some places they are hard, and in some places they have a soft structure, which prevents nail damaging. It is impossible to reach this surface structure on non-glass nail files.

The idea of using glass as a base for nail files was founded and patented more than 50 years ago in Switzerland. Modern processing is based on different technologies, but the final result is a high quality product, which has plenty of unique features that makes our glass nail file absolutely awesome.

Six main features of our glass nail files:

Right now our original glass nail files are produced only in the Czech Republic. Why? Because of the Czech made glass qualities, which can guaranty you the specific characteristics below:

-Everlasting Longevity – our glass nail files have a lifetime guaranty on the abrasive surface for holding their edge. They will last a life time. You don’t have to by a second glass nail file, if you get one from us because this lifetime warranty became possible due to special glass processing.

-Hygiene – glass nail files are extremely hygienic and exclude moisture absorption which makes them impermeable.  Glass is not porous like metal or files made from paper and therefore it does not attract germs or bacteria like those materials do.

Glass files don't corrode with wet conditions.  They are extremely easy to clean and disinfect with the usual cleaning products, as well as being able to boil them or sterilize them in autoclaves, which is important  for professional use to avoid the spread of infection.  

Disinfection with the usual methods of boiling or sterilizing in autoclaves is critical & very important for professional use and for avoiding the transmission of infection among clients.

If it becomes dirtier, you can use a brush on them. If you need to clean it from nail enamel or a cream you can use a diluent or a solvent according to the basic safety instructions. This makes it an ideal tool for nail professionals and beauty parlours. It is necessary to avoid contact of coloured glass nail files, hand-painted nail files and printed glass nail files with organic diluents and temperatures above 50 °C, as imperfections in decoration might occur. -Resistance – multiple hardening of the bulk material (glass) is achieved through usage of ionic exchange component. This guarantees that the glass nail file will not crack at standard application. The nail file may possible break while stricken upon a solid surface (concrete, stone or ceramic sideways).

-Durability – glass nail files are very durable when used for the treatment of nails owing to the properties of the bulk material and its actually unlimited strengthening. Made of Czech strained glass, they are almost unbreakable with increased firmness, reached due to using technology of ion exchange. Glass nail files will not break in everyday day use.

-Safety – The ends of the glass nail files are blunt and have been hand polished, thus reducing the possibility of cutting yourself. Due to the specific features of Czech glass and it’s processing, even if you break the nail file you will never cut yourself, because all broken pieces will be big without bevels.
