The Advantages Of A Crystal Nail File

By Etta Bowen


Most women look for the best possible way to shape their fingernails, offering a smooth finish. Files made of emery have been used for many years for this purpose and metal files have made quick filing of nails possible. More recently, a crystal nail file has been introduced and this offers many advantages. Many people who use this kind of product never go back to purchasing emery boards or metal files ever again.

These files are manufactured in such a way as to uniquely harden the glass. These files do vary in quality, depending on the material used but the best ones are really strong with a long lifespan. One can become damaged if it is not cared for properly and dropping it should obviously be avoided if possible. Storing it in the protective tube provided when it is purchased is advisable when it is not in use.

A very effective abrasive surface is created on the glass by sand blasting or acid etching. Emery and metal boards all come with a specific grit number which refers to how many abrasive particles there are per square inch. The finer the grit, the gentler the effect on the nails. The ultra fine grit on glass files prevents any rough edges, chipping or peeling of nails.

When using emery boards, the abrasive surface wears down quickly. The opposite is true with glass files. The abrasive surface is unaffected by continuous use. It remains consistent throughout its life. Such files are safe for use on artificial nails as well as natural ones but they should be dipped in water before they are used on the artificial type for best results. Periodically dipping them in water during use is also recommended.

The reason these files prevent rough edges is that they actually seal the keratin layer together. There is no splitting, chipping or peeling and they nails are much healthier and glossier looking as a result. The grind is still effective, however, despite its gentleness.

The non-porous nature of the glass is an advantage too when it comes to hygiene and cleanliness. It can just be run under a faucet to clean it off and if it is still not clean, detergent can be used. Emery boards cannot really be cleaned and simply have to be discarded. Even metal boards are difficult to clean.

The fact that they are hygienic, safe and easy to clean is one of the reasons why they are frequently used by beauty professionals. They offer excellent grinding performance and are very gentle on the nails at the same time. When used by professionals for a number of clients, they can be sterilized using heat or alcohol.

A product like this is obviously more expensive than many other boards. However, its durability soon makes up for any initial outlay. These products are also very attractive and are often decorated in interesting ways. They may be sandblasted with a design, have a handle embellished with special stones and they also come in different colors. It is easy to purchase excellent products like this from online stores today.
