Bona Fide Beauty Czech Glass Nail File for Natural Nails Set, 5-Pack Etched Files with Hardcases (180/240 grit). Genuine Bohemian Glass from The EU.

LOVE these nail files! The quality of filing is excellent. So smooth very quickly. I've been using one by this brand for years. Now my daughter keeps stealing it. Bought the package of five so I have files to keep in the car, my desk, and travel bag in addition to my nightstand. Then gave DD the other two. Love the price of the five pack also! Fun to have this color combination.

I got these for a gift for my mom. She loves them. She said that they are so much better than the flimsy paper ones or even the metal ones. In fact, she bought two more packs for my sisters and I bought another set for a friend. They are so nice, I am trying to grow my nails longer so that I can use them too :)

Good nail files. More gentle than the metal and sandpaper versions.

I'm a very picky nail-file connoisseur; I've only liked a couple of nail files in my life and will go out of my way to search for a specific nail file in the mess of free or extra nail files you get randomly and collect in your nail care box. The packaging hard container for the glass nail files is incredibly cheap, but who cares, because I'm sure it's good to present the item with packaging instead of freely packaged like Amazon Basics even if the item is good quality. Also the cheap hard cover allows them to keep the price down for the actual product and still sell it, so I applaud it honestly.The titular Czech glass file is extremely good quality.The glass files do your nails really smoothly, and the edges of the files are rounded and yet aren't too thick to get to the underside of your nails so you can really round things out instead of getting an extremely flat surface on the underside of your nails. You can feel that the file has a gradient of rougher texture from tip to handle so you can file at grades you need. Also, for someone like me that needs to keep my nails extremely short for piano, work, and other things, I am used to filing my nails as short as possible. And these do not upgrade or cause friction to my skin even though it is up against my skin. Which is pretty incredible. The super thin disposable or metal nail files cause pokes and pain when you're trying to keep your nails at such a short length. But these allow you to keep filing all the issues down without hurting yourself. Not only that, the glass tip is round and usable for under your nails and also does not scratch your tear under your nails like a metal file tip. I'm really excited and impressed with these because I don't want to create any more waste for the environment with bad nail files, and the aesthetic of something is also very important to m and these frosted designs include two gradient colors instead of a single gradient color. So I'm very happy with these. This review is maybe too comprehensive but maybe someone else could find super short nails information useful.First review: 7/5/2021

I love glass nail files. They do break easily if you aren’t careful. My daughter broke two from carrying them in her purse, but her purse is an overflowing weapon of sorts. I have not had any problems carrying mine in my purse or even my wrist wallet. I have dropped one or two and broken them that way tho. But I have bought this one twice so far. They last a lot longer than Emory boards. Nicer sound across the nail. Feels better too. All in all they are recommended from me. Will be buying again when we are down to the last one or two.

I bought some glass files at the fair and I liked them, but they broke too easily. I decided to look on Amazon to see if I could find better ones. I decided it would help if they came with individual cases to help protect them. I browsed colors and brands and thought about how many I wanted and how much I was willing to pay. I decided to try this kind.I got a few nice colors. I gave the purple one to my mom just because it happened to match what she was wearing that day. I put the yellow with pink one in my purse. At first I think I had the rest in a bathroom drawer. I put the darker pink one in the box with the nail polish. Later I gave Mom the blue one and I guess she gave back the purple one, because I had it with me when we visited my brother and his family, and I offered the purple one to my sister in law. My youngest nephew climbed up on the high kitchen table and accidentally knocked the file on the floor. I don’t remember if we had left it out of the case or if the case opened when it fell. It broke into at least three pieces. When my brother and his family visited us I went in the house and gathered all the remaining glass files with cases and let my sister in law choose. She chose the hot pink. I put the light pink in the nail polish box to replace it.I kind of want to get more, but I don’t need to yet. The ones that didn’t break still work well. I could give them to more people if I was wealthy and bought a lot. The last couple of times I visited my older sisters I had to take a train or planes. I probably could have taken glass files on the train, but I didn’t want to risk loosing them. I was pretty sure they would at least be at risk of being confiscated on an airplane.The only one that has broken so far from this set was dropped from almost 4 feet high onto a hard floor by an energetic toddler, and it might have been out of the case when it fell. So they are probably as durable as can be expected for glass.I like how the rough surface is rough enough to serve its purpose without looking or feeling very rough. I also like how it gradually changes to finer grain toward the tip. I use the tip to clean under my nails or my little sister’s nails.I don’t clean the files often, but I do if they seem to need it or sometimes if they are going from one person to another. The different colors help to know whose is whose if that is important for sanitary or other reasons.I like glass files because they tend to leave a smoother end result than metal files or most emery boards. Metal files tend to leave my nails so rough that I want to pick at them whenever I notice an edge that is not smooth. Then I end up tearing my nails down bit by bit until they are too short to be very useful. I had a Ruby Stone file years ago, and liked it pretty well, but I think it eventually crumbled a bit. Emery boards don’t last very long because their grit rubs off or they get bent and start falling apart. They also tear my nails sometimes or leave them rough or sometimes don’t do much of anything useful, depending on what kind I use and how old or used it is. These glass files last longer if you don’t break them, and these don’t break too easily.Glass files are also easy to clean. If powdery residue from filing nails starts to build up, I just rinse them under running water for a few seconds and then let them dry in a safe place, usually lying flat on a towel where they are not likely to be knocked down or crunched. I figure they dry better if they are not in the case. If I cleaned the files after every use I might never want to wash the case. Once I used rubbing alcohol to clean one file and its case. I tried not to get much, if any on the colored part of the handle. The plastic case did react to the alcohol by smearing the color a little while drying. It was still usable, but I decided I didn’t want to do that often. Maybe a tiny bit of soap would be better if I don’t feel like plain tap water is enough.The cases are good to have. They aren’t really impressive to look at, but they are tough enough to help protect the files, and each file comes with a case in a color that matches the file. The plastic is light and thin, but just hard enough to avoid the kind of bending that might snap a glass file. It is easy to slide a file in and out of its case, and it just barely snaps shut when the two pieces are pushed together. They are easy to open, and I don’t think I have had one open when I didn’t want it to, at least not much. It helps if they are not moved around a lot or if they are put into a pocket that is not big enough to let the lid come off the case if you keep it in your purse. It might also be good not to put many other hard things in the same pocket. I do not recommend putting these in pants pockets even with the case, not that I have done it much. I can just imagine what a little too much bending and/or crushing could do if you sit down with it in either a front or back pocket. I might put these files in a pocket just long enough to take them to a safer place or a place where I plan to use one. I recommend keeping them in cases when you are not using or cleaning them. Even showing one to someone got one broken, but I think the glass is less likely to break than the ones I got at the fair, with or without the protective cases. They rattle around in the case a little, but can’t move enough to do any damage so far in my experience. I usually leave most of mine at home and Mom always leaves hers at home, but sometimes I have carried one in my purse for weeks or months at a time, but I don’t usually toss my purse around a lot, and I don’t always use a purse.

Cool, sharp, thick and comfy file. The sharpness feels like immortal.

Great nail files. Won’t ever go back to the metal or paper ones again!
