Over the years I have tried a couple of different crystal nail files brands, but the Healthy Nails file I like a lot, it is thinner and with the pointed end I found both these features made it easier for me to file around the sides/curves of my nails - with the other brands of crystal nail files they are thicker and I did struggle to get right in the corners/sides of the nail.

The advantages with a Crystal nail file is it won't split your nails so you can file away from side to side without having to worry, it turns the filed away nail into dust and leaves the end of your nail with a perfectly smooth finish, making your nail stronger, and less likely to split.

The Healthy Nails crystal file also comes with a very handy durable case to protect it from damage, and perfect to store in your handbag. Maintaining your crystal file is very easy, all you need to do to clean it is rinse it in warm water, and that does the job.

The Healthy Nails crystal nail file is available in three colours:

• Purple 

• Pink

• Black

 - this crystal nail file will last for many years to come, for me it is a worthwhile investment that could possibly save you money over the years, especially if you buy emery board nail files. Or they would be a great gift.

The History of Nail Files:  

Did you know that back in the 18th century Marie Antoinette was obsessed with her nail file-like tool made of the pumice stone, thus this is when using a portable tool for filing nails began.
