Glass nail file from guitar salon

I was pleasantly surprised by the glass nail file that they carry. They claim that it will never wear down and can't say that I've noticed any difference yet. You no longer need to worry about sandpaper and buffing when using this file. It files your nails to a super smooth glass like quality. Other great features are that it promotes better nail growth by minimizing chipping, micro-fractures, etc. and that you can easily do very small adjustments and not over file. Well worth the $11.00 and recommend it.

glass files are great but some are more rough than smooth, meaning you still need two types of files or sand paper if you want to get fingernails smooth. I've used one made by miro brand and they're good

I have been using a glass nail file for a while and it is fine.

I still use a nail buffer to polish.

Seems as if glass files can be quite different.
Me got two, of which the cheap presents the better one.
Aside from quality, different grain for different jobs / one might need several.
Don´t know why mine have same grain on both sides; better would be rough and fine on each.

Yet, even the rough side leaves the nail more smooth than diamond files, sandpaper or the miserable metal ones.

All in all, thumbs up for glass!
- In lack of glasses of something to say cheers with, anyway.

Yeah I didn't think about it, would be great to have one fine side and one rough side, is it the case with GS file?

They seem about the same on the GS file. Maybe one side is slightly rougher, but it's hard to tell. Definitely very fine but also quite effective at filing. For a large filing job though, you'd probably want something a bit courser. Feels similar to 600+ grit sandpaper.
