The Value Of A Crystal Nail File

All women like their fingernails to look their best and have used emery and metal boards for this purpose for many years. However, more recently a crystal nail file has come onto the market. Many women are discovering the benefits of using such a file. They find that it leaves their nails feeling smooth and looking glossy and healthy. Such a product may require a greater financial outlay initially but its durability and other benefits more than make up for this in the long run.

These files are manufactured from tempered and hardened crystal glass. The best quality ones are very strong and durable. The hardening process they undergo means that have a practically unlimited life span. In event that one does become damaged, it should not be used again as even a small chip reduces the integrity of the product and it is possible that it may break.

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.

Professional beauticians often use these products. They are attracted to them because they are effective, hygienic and easy to clean. They can offer their clients a high quality manicure due to the good grinding performance and know that nails will not be damaged. It is also possible to sterilize files after use with heat or alcohol. This is essential when working with a number of different clients and infections to be passed from one client to another.

A product like this lasts for a long time if cared for correctly and any extra expense in purchasing one is easily compensated for by its durability. It is available in many attractive designs, often including elements like Swarovski crystals, sandblasted logos and embellished handles. Different designs, sizes and colors are available for purchase from many online stores today.
