Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing
today? Tell me something good that's happened so far in your week :)
Today I have another
nail file review for you. I was wondering how similar these posts
would be, what could I say further about nail files but actually I
learnt quite a lot, Ha!
Today's glass file
comes from Germaniküre, beautifully crafted by trained artisan's in
the Czech Republic from a company based in Solingen, Germany with
ethical, non-polluting conditions and by the sounds of it big caring hearts!
Below I'll show you a better picture of the slogan on the handle! |
These files are
specially formulated against breaking, despite their slim 3mm
thickness they are created using Bohemian glass which is chemically
hardened and tempered to resist breaking, even if dropped from a
counter to floor height. Unlike other glass nail files the glass may
break, the texture may eventually scrape off or even feel off like a
sticker.
The chemical etching on
Germaniküre files can be used wet or dry and boasts that it can be
used in any direction without causing microscopic frays and gouges to
the nails and cuticles (That said, I'll never be a see-saw filer
anyway.)
Pretty much the same length as my Samsung S6 and impressively light! |
Germaniküre also
claims that the glass used for the files has natural antibacterial
properties however the files can also be very easily and simply
cleaned via water and soap but are also strong enough to endure high
heat sanitizers making this a very salon friendly product.
Having used the
GERmaniküre file I do really like the design of the file, I chose
the mantra 'More Glitter, Less Bitter' as I think it fitting nail
blogging rather nicely. There are many slogans and mantra's to chose
from and each are sand blasted onto the handles for a gentle and
unobtrusive look, I also really like the pink gradient going on!
The files comes with a
very sophisticated leather case, ideal for keeping your file
protected and cushioning shocking absorption if it is dropped while
not in use and dehumidifying. All their nail files come with a
patent numbered holographic sticker so you know you are getting a
genuine, authentic GERmaniküre products.
How did I find this
nail file? I really like it but I can tell a huge difference between
this one and the other's I have tried previously. I would say it took
a lot less filing motion to get my nail length to its desired length
but it wasn't as smooth as some but that isn't to say it is not a
very good file. I think everyone has preferences on how filing should
feel. I do like the design, the science behind its creation and its
classy looking case.
GERmaniküre's guide on buying glass files and avoiding fake products.
Finally, the last thing
I will tell you about, which in my opinion really increases my
already good impression is that GERmaniküre states that they
believe in:
“long
tool life, healthful living and good enviomental stewardship. Each
glass file is handcrafted in the Czech Republic by trained adult
artisans paid a living wage. This item was guaranteed free from
unethical workmanship such as forced labor or child labor.” - Now
isn't that fantastic? If only more companies could speak so
confidently about such an important issue.
Have you tried
any GERmaniküre products before? Glass files or emery boards –
what are you using currently?
Have yourselves a
beautiful day my friends! Thank you for visiting, I'll be back on
Saturday with some more nail art! There might be dinosaurs. Just
sayin' :)
Love
