fantastic filer! I don't like to file my nails too much, but when I need to, this filer gives me exactly the right smoothness. =) It's easy to use and I love the way it looks. It lasts years before...

One of the best nail files out on the market. Everyone should invest in one of these. I have three (hangs head). They are freaking amazing. Kind of on the expensive side, but worth the money,...

Everyone needs to have at least one glass, crystal, diamond or ceramic file in their nail care arsenal. Essie's Crystal file is a good mid-priced option. Leaves a nice smooth edge and unless you...

I love my Essie Crystal Nail File. I have had it now for almost 1 year and have no regrets with my purchase. When filing my nails, it leaves the edges smooth and without snags; it also prevents...

After dropping my last crystal file I was on the prowl for another one today, trying to decide between another Essie and a Nailtek. I searched the product reviews and this board for a comparison...

This review is for the mini file. I bought this as a 'just in case' to keep at work, but started using it a little when I misplaced my larger Manicare crystal file for a couple of weeks. It...

There is not much you can say about a nail file so forgive me if someone has already stated what I am about to. I used to be a nail tech in high school and some of college, so I've seen my share...

All right, I just bought this today so maybe I'm a little premature with this review. I am never going back to emery boards. I always hated the ragged edges that they left and how they never...

I am a glass file convert! I will never go back to regular nail files. I have thin nails so I need something that is gentle yet effective. This smooths and shapes quickly without destroying too...

It took some time to get used to it because it takes forever to file my nails. It is fine and it kind of "seals" the edge.I noticed last night while taking a bath that is easier and faster to file...

This is my most favorite nail file! The file has a very fine grit, so I find that I don't over-file my nails with this, and I can file precisely how I want my nails to look. Once you file your...

I have used this file for about a month now, and I am really glad I bought it. It gently files and shapes my nails without tearing. The grit is very fine and gentle. I had used a no-name crystal...

My favorite nail file of all time! It files faster and has a better finish on my nails than traditional files. It's lasted me for 3 years now and still works the same as the first time I used it.
