ABOUT GLASS NAIL FILES
The nail file is made of float glass. With its physical, hygienic and
utility attributes it is apparently the best what the market can offer in this
product category. Although the body of the file is roughened it has a smooth
surface with no protruding points. In spite of its relatively fine texture the
high-quality abrasive surface guarantees outstanding grinding ability. Glass
nail file is being hardened at the last phase of the production to increase
mechanical firmness, which gives unlimited lifetime to abrasive surface.
Use
Glass file is perfect for treatment and shaping nails, both natural and
artificial (we recommend to dip the file in the water first when giving the
treatment to the artificial nails). It is possible to use the file also for
removing harden skin around the nails and in the heel area. The best way is to
soften skin first by immersing it in the water and then to remove hardened skin
with a proper tool; after this you apply the glass file (for this purpose we
recommend the file of a length 195 mm).
DESIGN, SHAPE, INDICATION
Files are produced in two basic forms: one-sided and
double-sided, according to the number of roughened sides. Both types is possible
to deliver either with whole surface roughness or with a smooth handle.
Concerning the shape, two types are available: one with both tips rounded (shape
B/b) and one with one tip pointed (shape A/a).

File of length 90 mm, so called "handbag file" is with its size suitable to be a part of handbag outfit and to be ready for immediate use. Available thickness for this model is 2 mm.
File of length 135 mm is usually made from the glass thick 2 mm, but 3 mm thickness is also possible. It is determined especially for home use.
File of length 195 mm and thickness 3 mm is determined for professional manicure and is normally manufactured of width 18 mm with or without (one-sided with full work area) handle. We recommend one-sided type to avoid scratches of cosmetician skin.
File of length 195 mm and width 22 mm has standard thickness 4 mm. It is intended for pedicure mostly for the treatment of hardened skin .
Moreover, COLOURED glass nail files look very atractive and are very popular now. You can choose a single colour or a combination of two. Our standard offer consists of 12 colours in glossy and matt finish: lemon yellow, yellow, pink (magenta), green, blue (aqua), violet (purple), cobalt blue, ruby (dark red), orange (light red), black, colourless, white.
Hand-painted glass has a long tradition in Bohemian region. In our standard collection of hand painted motifs we offer numerous flowery designs, animals and gold and platinum motifs. Any other designs are possible according your wish. They are painted by professional painter using special glass colour which is burned into the glass of the file. Every piece is unique and original.
Sandblasting - this technique guarantees lasting quality of the chosen designs. As standard we offer zodiac motifs, or flowers. Other designs are available on request (including your logo).

ATRIBUTES
Function
The abrasive surface is applied to the primary glass corpus, which ensures its
permanent stability function without loss of grinding ability (as opposed to
paper or metal base abrasives where the loss of grinding grains is substantial).
Hygiene
Glass is an ideal material to keep hygienic attributes of the file. Glass file
is not porous like metallic or paper files, which prevents it from an absorption
of water with bacterial or mildew germs. It is virtually corrosion-free, even at
aggressive environment conditions. It is easy to clean and disinfect with usual
cleaning products, as well as to sterilize in autoclaves; this is very important
for professional use in terms of avoiding transmission of infection among
customers.
Gentleness
When using other types of files, especially metallic or those from paper, nails
happen to split, we can often find brittleness and peeling of nails. Regular use
of glass nail file effectively prevents from this unpleasant phenomenon.
Firmness
Nail files are hardened at the last phase of the production and this
dramatically increases its firmness. It ensures that the file does not crack
when is used for its purpose (even non-hardened glass endures forces affecting
the file during usual nail treatment). The file also stands casual falls on
common floor surfaces (carpet, PVC, etc.). However, a fall-down to a hard
surface (ceramic, concrete, stone) might damage it.
Lifetime
Thanks to the basic attributes of the material and hardening process, the lifetime of the file is practically unlimited.
Safety
The file hardness and precise work guarantees total safety. However, to avoid a
possible injury, a file damaged in any way should be replaced and not used again.
Maintenance
To keep the file clean, it is enough to rinse it after use with running water.
To clean more dirty files use soft brush and detergent and if this is not enough
(to remove nail enamel, creme,etc.) then any organic diluents and dissolvent can
be used according to the basic safety instructions.
Warranty
The abrasive surface is provided with lifetime guarantee. However, the warranty
does not cover defects caused by wrong manipulation or mechanical damage.
