I was skeptical when I saw my first crystal nail file, but so many raves from gals using it made me try it. I ordered this one on May 8 of 2008, and as of today, I'm still using the SAME FILE. I do my manicure weekly at home, and so that means I use this file weekly. It's been 10 months and it's still going strong.

It feel different from an emery board or a metallic file, so it's a bit of a "feel adjustment." But soon, you'll grow to love this. I do. I know that I'll be getting another as a back-up (just in case), but my original one doesn't look like it's anywhere near done working.

I clean mine after every use just by wiping down with an alcohol wipe (those that come in a packet and you get a box with a whole bunch rather cheaply). That keeps it nice and clean, removing the nail dust and germies.

Totally recommend this product. Yes, it looks like a lot for ONE file, but it is worth it, and if you look around (maybe beauty shops in your area), you might get an even better price.

A friend has a crystal nail file and let me use it and that made me want to buy one too. I bought the Essie file and I just love it! I am taking extra care of it so as not be drop it, because I know that this type never wears out, but breaks easily. It is way better than any other types of files that I have used: metal or emory board. Gives a very nice feel to the nail filing process.

This nail file is holding up well enough - although I did pick up a drug store one (which I shattered) that did better over the long haul. It seems that the initial corseness wore off quickly, but there has been a consistent performance over the past few months. I don't know if I would purchase them again, but I've generally been very happy with Essie products and this file gets the job done. The case is very handy, and has prevented me from repeating the same shattering experience which my last file was subjected too.

if you file your nails, which you SHOULD. please please please invest in this! it's not even that expensive but will last you FOREVER! no more buying new filers (unless you break it, so please becareful) and not only that, it is double sided AND results are outstanding.

I can definitely tell the difference between using a regular filer and this one. this one makes a weird sound but when i file one way, it's really not too bad and i get used to it. Plus when i use a regular filer, my nails are NEVER smooth. the edges fray or are rough. but this one, most of the time i have smooth edges. it's a difference you can feel! get it and save yourself the pain and this is supposed to be better for your nails too!

This is THE BEST nail file I have ever used. Never gets dull, doesn't need a lot of pressure applied, I use the pointed edge to push my cuticles and remove and dried cuticles. This is the bomb, and it will last forever. This is a MUST have for me.
