Origin
In 1997 a radically new technology for making glass nail files was invented in the Czech Republic, using hardened Bohemian glass. The special procedure of thermal hardening resulted in advantages such as excellent shock-proofness and an extremely durable polishing surface. It had fine-grained steady abrasive surface, which allowed to grind ones nails without any pain and damaging fingernails structure. And by 1998 Czech glass nail file have already got enough popularity around the world and became the most sellable nail file in Europe.
Production technology
Glass nail file - a file for fingernails care is made of Czech glass. In the course of manufacturing, the material is tempered with the traditional methods which were applied by Bohemian glaziers for centuries by now. As a result, such nail file gains unique wear resistance. Nail files which are made of tempered glass can withstand strong falls onto the floor and intensive daily use. If such nail file breaks - it's safe-to-touch pieces.
