I love this file. My nails are very short, and it's thin enough that I can file close to my skin without filing/damaging my skin. I have several other files and this one is my favorite.

So far I love the salve. I purchased original salve a few times and this Smoothing Salve will also be a repeat purchase. For my personal use and for gifts! Both soak in quickly and don’t feel greasy.

Great set. I especially love the salves. You only need an extremely small amount of the salve to be very effective. With regular use it helps the skin around my nail from getting dry

Version 2 is my go to file. It's just the right thickness & it feels solid. Many glass files are too thick.

This tool is just as sharp as described and works very well. Recommend any buyers to be extremely careful with it. It is very nice being able to avoid using cuticle remover though. I have never seen anything of similar quality available in a store.

Excellent quality files. They get the job done but are also very gentle. There is nothing similar available here in Australia so I'm very glad to have found these.

Thank you for the glass file that I received with your nail care kit (that I love). I do reach for it often, and I prefer the finer side for finishing to prevent snags. I would purchase for the price noted, and I do not have your diamond file, but I do have an old Revlon diamond file that I still use and like as well. Hard to say which I prefer.

The etched texture options on this file are great. I haven't used the file on my nails, but instead use it to smooth the skin folds around the nail.

Love it

I really like how thin the nail file is. The nail buffer is absolutely amazing. I love the salve for my nails. This is by far my favorite manicure set.

Thank you for sending a complimentary glass file for review. Apologies for not reviewing sooner as medical situation prevented me from doing so. I love glass files and have used many. I liked the test file very much especially the double sided textures for filing and smoothing. I found it easy to detect which side was which. I alternated using it and your emery boards which I absolutely love and found that I like both pretty much on par. I’ve purchased 4 of the diamonds files and can’t get them to work at all for me and I have thin nails. There’s little grit that I can detect and I’ve especially good tactile sensitivity.

Thank you for including the glass file along with the new salve. I’ll do a separate review for that! Muchas gracias for all that you do!!

Love this stuff, very moisturizing but doesn’t leave your hands too greasy. Light, pleasant scent.

Very thin, very effective

I have been using the glass file for over a month now. I have other glass files but, honestly I much prefer this one due to the size, shape and finish. I have kept in pocketbook and find it to be durable - no chipping or other damage observable.
I do notice a difference in surfaces and personally prefer the finer side. It took a bit to get accustomed to the unique feel and sound of it on nails initially. I also use Anna's diamond file and have used side by side to compare the feel.
I would purchase this over other glass files definitely.
Overall a nicely designed piece of equipment.
If I had to choose just one, I would have to go with the diamond file though as I prefer the thinness when shaping my nails as well as the 'sound/feel' on my nails.
I certainly think both have a place in my kit and am happy to have had chance to test them out.
(and yes, I am still using it!)

I've used jojoba oil for years, but I much I prefer it in salve form instead of oil. Plus, I know that if Anna made it, it's a quality product.
