Some great products here. I keep meaning to get a glass nail file!

You can go file back and forth with a glass file? I have to get one! Going one direction is so tedious...

These are all good products for nail care. Everyone hates to chip or break a nail. Especially when removing to plastic seal and tight cap from an eye drop bottle. A new product is coming this month designed to eliminate the hassle. It is called CapTool, Your Helping Hand.

I use a wonderful nail file made of crystal glass, so gentle on the nails! i like when i see that the products recommended are sometimes "cheapies" - like Vaseline. Who says that in order to work a product needs to be super-expensive?!

i'd skip emery file, those tend to damage nails, and would add a buff and polisher.

Pretty cool, but I'm pretty plain when it comes to nail care.

I am a big lover of everything Vaseline I am going to have to check out that hand/nail lotion! I have a crystal nail file, and if I go back and fourth on the nail it gives me the heebee geebees! It does feel much better than the old emery board.
