Aveniro Glass Nail Files

Press Sample

Good morning, readers! As I’ve written in past posts, I am a big fan of nail, cuticle, and hand care. I’m a recent convert to the world of crystal glass nail files. I found myself repurchasing my regular files over and over again at Sally Beauty Suppy often and it was quite the pain. Lugging the kids to Sally’s is one of the least fun things I can do–you moms with little ones can surely agree with that one. I was also having peeling on my nail tips and a friend recommended glass nail files to help. They can be more gentle on the nails and have a practically unlimited lifespan. Another added positive note about glass files is that they are easily cleaned.

I was contacted by Aveniro a month or two ago about trying out some of their crystal glass files. Aveniro is a manufacturer and wholesale seller of Bohemian crystal glass files from the Czech Republic. I was happy to agree and have been using them since they arrived. Let’s take a look at what I received and my thoughts  below.

A pedicure file, a cuticle stick, and three regular crystal glass files.

I live in Central Florida and would have loved the pedicure file at the beginning of the summer (or spring, rather, when the flip flops are back on) to get my feet sandal ready. We are well into the summer and sandy days here but I still liked using the pedicure file to smooth my heels. There are two different grit sides and I liked using the rougher one to get any calluses and dead skin off before flipping the file over to smooth out the rest of the skin. As I said above, this was easily washed with my antibacterial hand soap after use and looks brand new again. The thicker glass kept me from worrying about breaking it while scrubbing my heels. A+ from me!

The three regular glass files were also great. They all came in a protective sleeve (like the pedicure file, forgot to mention that above) and two were a standard length while one was shorter. The shorter is perfect for throwing in my purse for those sudden broken nail moments away from home. The stones on the decorated file feel very secure. They each have two different grits and both are gentle enough for my natural nails. I recommend filing in one direction along the nail tip. Sawing back and forth can cause damage to your nails. Also, be aware that they file much more nail off in one sweep than the standard nail files–make sure to pay attention when you are shortening your nails or you can take too much off! 

My very favorite thing I received was this cuticle stick. It has two different ends: one for pushing cuticles back and then the end I’m showing above. The pushing side is like most typical cuticle pushers with a smooth flat end that slides across the nail. As for the end I’m showing above: the rounded end comes to a point and can be used to clean under the nails. I however, prefer to use it to gently remove dead cuticle left on the nail plate after using cuticle remover. The shape is perfect for gently scraping off the stubborn dead cuticle.

One note on any crystal glass file: don’t drop them.  The etched surfaces will last, but they are still glass (aka: breakable). I broke the tip off of the pushing side of the cuticle stick while putting into my drawer and it slipped to the tile floor instead. I also know multiple friends that have had a file drop and snap in half.

Overall, I have had a positive experience using these crystal glass nail files from Aveniro. You can learn more about their files at http://www.aveniro.com.
