3 Swords Germany Double Sided 3 Pieces Glass Nail Files for Natural and Artificial Nails with Black Plastic case

Extremely pleased with this purchase. Small and compact, comes in a hard case to protect the glass file along with a nail buffer. Files nails beautifully. Ideal to take on holiday or carry in your handbag.Wouldn’t expect anything other than high quality from this German product.Highly recommended

Convenient in a hard plastic shell case and comes with a nail buffer.

The nail file arrived quickly and is in a very smart case. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is because it is rather short. Files well.

This set of glass nail files are the best I've ever used. I found them perfect in proportion, as some glass nail files I find, can be too chunky in their thickness, but these are perfect. Very easy to use and gave an excellent finish to the manicure. The set is superb, as it caters for three various sizes in length which is very useful and comes with their own safety case.

These glass travel files and buffers are effective yet gentle. I bought one for myself and a couple for gifts.

So happy I chose this brand. It's excellent quality and far better than regular nail files. I have very thin nails and sensitive, so this is better than more abrasive ones and my nails are easy to file with it. I also like the buffer than comes with it too. They have done a great job and not overpriced at all.

A well made and assembled kit. Excellent value for money.

This file is a winner! *Update* The file I bought most recently has a solid case - hurrah!Without a doubt this is the best nail file I have ever tried. Previously, I have used Leighton Denny's Crystal Nail File and (don't tell anyone....) I prefer this one! It feels so much smoother and the pointed end of this one comes in very handy, not to mention that it is half the price. The quality is outstanding, I don't know how they do it.The file feels very smooth to touch and the sides of the file are not etched so when you are filing close to the skin you won't get friction burn.With the file mentioned earlier you get a lot of vibration through the fingers, with this one you can barely feel it. Despite this, it still works remarkably well, it takes very little pressure to file your nails shorter and only light feathering to shape them.I used disposable nail files for years, I really didn't see the point in buying an expensive one as the disposables work fine, right? Well, as soon as I borrowed a friend's glass file I was sold - it feels like butter! Since then I haven't looked back and my nails are so much healthier from it. Also, when such good quality, inexpensive glass nail files are available and last for such a long time, it isn't better value to get disposables.I bought my first Three Swords nail file 5 months ago and it still works as well as the new ones, it hasn't dulled at all. If you feel like it has, simply rinse it under a tap and it's as good as new!Something else to note is that with glass files you can sterilise them, so if you drop yours on the floor you don't need to worry about floor-nasties getting embedded in your nails. On the subject of dropping them: I have done, many times (I am SO clumsy, you have no idea), on to tile, carpet and concrete from waist-height (I put it on my lap, forget it is there and stand up, shooting the poor thing across the room) and they still look perfect.For those of you asking if you can file in both directions with this one; it's never a good idea to file in two directions but if you are going to do so it's better to do it with one like this, that is so smooth, rather than the sandpaper style ones you buy at the pharmacy as it will do less damage.Negative - The 'case' is actually a velour pocket which doesn't do much to protect it in say a handbag, but you can buy a solid case from eBay or similar for pennies. Also the packaging has in large lettering "basic line" - so you may not want to give this one as a gift.No, I haven't been paid or given this free - I just really, really love this file and know how difficult it is to find a good one.
