ZEVA Austrian Crystal Nail File

Additional Information

Why it works:

Fingernails are porous, and will absorb water.  When water is absorbed into the ends of your fingernails, they develop very small micro-cracks that you cannot see.  However, over time, these cracks get bigger and eventually cause splits, cracks and peeling.  The ZEVA Austrian Crystal File helps in two ways.  First, it removes these micro-cracks before they can get big enough to do any damage.  Secondly, it files your nails so smooth it actually slows down the absorption of water through the tips of your fingernails.

How it’s made: (IN THE USA)

1. We heat a proprietary porcelain compound to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit – until it melts.
2. We then add aluminum oxide (commonly called “Austrian Crystal”) in a pulverized, crystalline form to the molten porcelain compound. The Austrian Crystal particles are suspended in the porcelain because they do not melt below 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. We thoroughly mix; and carefully pour this molten material into large sheets and wait for it to cool.
4. Once cool, we cut and grind each individual ZEVA file by hand.

►This process is very labor intensive, but the result is a file that is extremely hard yet incredibly smooth – smoother than any other nail file!  This is critical because your nails are only as smooth as the file you are using.   Smoother nails = stronger nails.

How to clean: 

1. Clean with warm water and non-oily liquid soap. Let air-dry.
2. Can be placed in the dishwasher.
3. You can also clean your ZEVA Austrian Crystal File with clean nail polish remover. Wash with soap and water when you are done.
