Please tell us what you think after you receive them.

I had no trouble with any files breaking and they are still doing well. Hope the same for you.

Yes---I bought one last year, that was on a handle and then at the end, had a tiny little file that lived inside--that thing is really amazing on your feet!!! And so much easier to handle. I don't like it for my nails tho. But one thing---use it after your shower or bath when your feet are softened---that thing goes to town on callouses.

@JeanLouiseFinch I bought a QVC set on special not too long ago and did NOT like them. The inexpensive but highly rated ones from Amazon are wonderful--and you get so many sizes too!

Are you people talking about the ones that have the diagonal cross hatching? Horrible, you canot polish the nail surface without leaving deep marks. And actual filing down is difficult. I use the ones from OPI, about ten bucks apiece. Wonderful. They have grit like the old metal and paper files.

I'm glad to hear that, @Sooner I had originally placed an order for three sets on HSN. The bill totaled close to $100 after tax and shipping. That's nuts!

@JeanLouiseFinch Yes you can get many sets and return them FREE if you don't like them! I honestly did not like the feel and grit pattern of the QVC ones.

OPI's files are made in the Czech Republic. I got my first ones years ago in the OPI Christmas sets from HSN. It's the best file I've ever used and is my favorite. Not to rough, not to smooth, just right.

I believe Londontown's files are Czech as well. I have their two travel sizes in lavender and glitter. They have two grits, one for filing and one for finishing.

The full size butter LONDON file feels pretty much the same on both sides, like for finishing. There's not much of a difference, if any. And I think their's may be Czech made, too.

I saw the glass ones they claim will buff your nails. I could not see how a glass file would work for that. I didn't purchase one to try and probably won't ever use a glass file for buffing. Sally's buffers work just fine. It's great if the glass works for you, I just think it would be too rough for me.
