DRMODE Glass Nail File, 2PC Upgrade Nano Glass Nail Shiner for Natural Nail

I have to admit that I was skeptical when I saw these, I was also intrigued. So I decided I had to try them. In the past I’ve used buffing blocks that can be picked up at any beauty supply and thought a glass equivalent was a long shot but possible. I also have a powered buffing device made by Emjoi. I absolutely adore these! Using buffing blocks or my Emjoi took about 15-20 minutes. These little glass files took some time but was no more effort than even my powered Emjoi, matter of fact I do believe it shaved some time off. Besides if I use a buffing block or my Emjoi I have to replace the buffing heads or buy more buffing blocks as both wear out, not these files! All you have to do to achieve a high shine is apply the glass file to the surface of your nail and move it horizontally back and forth until you’ve covered the surface. The file micro sands the nail, polishing at the same time. It achieves this by using the two different textures on the textured side of the file. Yes, the texture is on only one side of these files. I’m so new to these I’m not sure if they can be found in a double sided option. These two files both come with they’re own transparent plastic case making them easy to carry in a handbag if so desired. The files come with one lighter and one black file, both files are the same texture and have the same effect. Basically, even though they are different colors they are identical. My nails are highly textured, I have many ridges and these made quick work of polishing them. I imagine if you have a smooth textured nail bed it would go even quicker for you. I wouldn’t say buffing damages the nailbed but be aware you are removing a fine layer, so even though it’s not on the broken English instructions I wouldn’t buff the entire nail dally. Maybe just cover outgrowth down by the cuticle once a week and maybe a quick touch up. You’ll have to decide what’s best for you and your nails but do understand the shine achieved from buffing lasts. There is nothing to wear off or chip, sometimes the surface of the nail looses some luster from everyday fine scratches and what not. Anyway these work and work well! So if you like or have buffed your nails in the past and want a easy effective method that will last much longer than other methods I’d highly recommended these! These aren’t going to wear out like buffing blocks. These files will last forever so they are highly economical! I’m impressed!

I'm a nail biter, have been for decades. One graze of my thumb past a rough edge or corner, and out come the clippers and teeth. Emory boards have somewhat helped but get used up way too fast, scrape up my skin, and leave the nails rough enough to snag. This glass file is sublime. There's no grating feeling, and no rough edges left; where it brushes my skin by the corners it doesn't hurt at all. I'm not buffing the back of my nails, they're soft and shreddy anyway and don't need to be worn down further, but the ends and corners come out so smooth that the urge to gnaw is almost completely gone. They even gleam and sparkle! Follow up with a nail/cuticle cream and my fingertips feel better than they have in years. The quality is amazing. This file has enough heft and thickness to feel sturdy and luxurious (though I'm very careful not to drop it). The soft plastic case for it keeps it comfortably safe. The only down side is that after each session one needs to rinse off the file and then let it air dry before returning it to the case, so I can't keep it by my computer. Probably a good thing, it creates quite the skiff of dust from ground up nail, likely unhealthy for a keyboard. I did not hesitate to recommend this to my brother for his wife when asked, I do not hesitate to recommend it to you. Best. File. Ever.

This is an amazing nail file! I was shocked at the shine that my nails had after using. Oftentimes, would try to achieve a shiny, natural look for my nails by applying a clear coat of nail polish, however this nail file gives the exact same effect. Usability: The shininess does wear off after a week or more, however with a little bit of buffing it returns to the original shine. Product Quality: The glass nail files come in a plastic protective case. The file itself is made of glass and has the logo imprinted on the end. It feels durable (for glass) and will most likely last longer than regular foam nail files. Overall a great purchase! I would purchase it again.

I'll start off by saying that I do like this product. It really does a great job, as you see from the pics, of creating a bright and lasting shine on the nail surface. It also seems quite durable. However, I figured out that it works best if you use a separate file to smooth the nails as much as possible before using the glass file. If you have any ridges or pock marks, the glass file won't shine the nail evenly and you end up with dull spots, and even some light scratches, that are noticeable. But once your nail is smooth, it works pretty well in making a nice, even shine. It's been several days since I used the file, and, despite the abuse from repeatedly washing my hands and working in the garden, they're still smooth and shiny. So I do recommend this product, but if you're not able to completely smooth your nails to begin with, then this probably won't work to your satifaction.

Works well, very sturdy, well made

I didn't know much about glass files. I mean, I used to get my nails done by this lady I worked with. She did it on the side. That was decades ago. And as a man with all nails having ridges I thought to get my nails looking smooth again. I got the common rectangle one with what I call different grades of sand paper on it. With the course always next to the buffing one and would scratch my cuticle up. So, saw something about glass files and thought, yeah, they last forever, why not? Pros - They get the job done for the most part. But I consider that a default thing. They come in individual plastic cases, clean easy enough and look nice. Cons - After learning more about files like this I realized I these are not high quality. They are flimsy crystal/glass. Which had edges that'll cut (not bloody mind you unless you have issues) into your nail and create valleys with horizontal scratch marks. I can't blame that entirely on the file since I'm not expert at using them. But, I did learn high er quality ones have smooth edges for this very reason. Overall - I would rather have these than the rectangle. But, after learning more I would suggest going towards brands like Tweezerman or Mr. Green. Also, I learned get files that have Bohemian or Czech made. Because those are the highest quality ones on the market.

🤩 This *might* be the most interesting tool I’ve ever discovered in my 32 years on this earth. I do not wear any nail polish (muslim girlies, IYKYK) and this tool is mind blowing. I was initially afraid of it being glass and damaging my nails or being hard to use— but I’m so glad I took the chance. This is now a forever STAPLE and I’m never going back!! I mean, look at my nails! The pictures don’t even do it close to justice. My nails look better polished and feel smoother than a fresh salon visit! 🚨SUPER IMPORTANT: For those who mention this filer hurting or scratching their nails, don’t use this like a filer. Think of it as a literal BUFFER and swiftly buff your whole nail; don’t try to graze it horizontally in one place. That’s how you end up taking a chunk out of your nails! Took me about 10 minutes to figure this out 🥲 ✅ PROS: - so easy to use once you get the hang of it - cost effective - easy to clean (I saw comments about the mail dust getting stuck in the glass; just run it under water and it comes right off) ❌ CONS - I really can’t think of any

I will admit that I bought this because I like gadgets, and had always wondered if the glass files were any good. Well, I was amazed at how good these are. They seem to go against everything I know about grinding and abrasives, in that they are both fast cutting and very smooth at the same time. The effective grit seems to be somewhere around 2000 to 3000, but the seem to cut faster than 400 to 600 grit. Not understanding this at all, I got out a microscope and was surprised to find that it does not seem to have any abrasive particles at all, but has circular holes(presumably etched) in the glass. This means that these work more like woodworking scrapers rather than sandpaper. This is also born out by the fact that you do not get nail dust after you use these, but instead get a weird wispy residue that wipes away cleanly. My nails are very coarse and scag on things all the time and this smooths them out easily. The black on has never been used, and the white one has been used almost daily for months and has shown little to no wear. After getting these, I tried another brand at the drugstore and it was more like sandpaper and did not polish at all. I used it to cut down a large snag on my nail and it actually rubbed the abrasive off of the glass. With these, there is no abrasive to rub off as the just slice off micro shavings off of your nail leaving a bright polished surface. I highly recommend this product to everyone that needs a nail file.
