für die For extremely gentle nail care

Your hands and nails do a lot. They hold, grip, create and comfort. They are your tools, your look, your calling card. But what happens when things suddenly go wrong? When the edge of a rough nail snags on your favourite jumper, when a tiny tear makes itself known with every movement or when a broken nail ruins the perfect moment? Suddenly you realise – well-manicured hands are not a luxury, they’re a daily essential.

After all, hands that feel good give you a sense of security. You shake hands in meetings, hold your child’s hand in your own or grab your coffee mug in the morning.

You need a small but powerful companion – the right nail file.

It’s like a good friend; always there when you need it and making the difference between “Meh” and “Wow!”.

So make the best choice – the ERBE SOFT TOUCH glass nail file is more than a grooming tool. It’s your everyday go-to for radiant hands that feel like they’ve been professionally treated. Read on to find out how it works and why this file is a treat for both your nails and your everyday life.

Glass nail files – an insider tip that’s not just for the pros

“My nails are always splitting!
What am I doing wrong?”

It’s a familiar problem. You file your nails and just a few days later they’re rough, brittle and maybe even break. In most cases it’s not your fault, it’s the tool you’re using.

Metal files can roughen the layers of very sensitive nails and in such cases are not recommended. Emery boards are useful for when you’re on the go, but they wear out quickly.

We have the solution! A glass nail file – gentle, precise and kind to all nails.

Why glass?
The benefits your hands will notice.

Gentle but effective.
Imagine shaping your nails and having them feel not just smooth, but strong and well-groomed. The glass file seals the edge of the nail as you work, making it more resistant to tears and leaving them ready for anything.

Impressive hygiene
Glass is non-porous, easy to clean and even disinfectable. This makes it ideal for sensitive skin or allergy sufferers. Simply rinse it under water and it’s free from residue and bacteria, ready for the next use.

If necessary, you can use a little soap and a small brush.

For additional hygiene, the file can be disinfected. Allow it to dry well afterwards.

Lasting durability
No wear and tear, and no blunt surfaces. The fine structure is embedded directly into the glass and remains sharp for years. Once purchased, this file will be with you for the foreseeable future, saving you money and hassle in the long run.

The micro-fine filing structure provides an even grain that smooths and seals the edge of the nail as you file. As this structure does not wear away, the file can be used reliably for a long time. 

Step-by-step:
how to use a glass file properly

The right moment
It’s best to file your nails when they’re clean and dry. This prevents the use of unnecessary pressure and gives you an even result.

The right technique
Hold the file at a slight angle to the edge of the nail.

Begin at the outer edges and work with gentle, even movements towards the middle. The structure of the glass allows you to file in both directions without damaging the nail.

The right shape for you
Round, oval or squoval – this file gives you the control you need to create your favourite shape.

Rounded nails
are particularly practical in everyday life as they follow the natural line of the nail bed and minimise the risk of splitting.

Elegant and feminine. This shape elongates the fingers for a particularly sophisticated look. Best suited for longer nails, creating the almond shape requires precision and experience.

Squoval nail shape

Squoval-shaped nails 
The nail studio favourite. A squoval is the perfect combination of square and round. The straight edges provide stability while the gently rounded corners add a touch of elegance combined with everyday practicality. This shape looks modern, professional and well-groomed.

Safe storage
The ERBE glass nail file comes with a stylish, practical sleeve that fulfils two important roles.

It protects the file from scratches, knocks and breakage, which is especially important when you’re using it on the go. But whether it’s in your handbag, bathroom or suitcase, the sleeve also ensures that your ERBE file remains hygienic, dust-free and ready for use whenever you need it. 

The perfect finish
After filing, treat your nails to a little pampering. A high-quality nail oil – such as the ERBE JOJOBA CARE nail care pen,  item no.: 2506 – hydrates the nails and cuticles, and completes your grooming ritual. For optimal results, gently massage the oil into the nails and cuticles.
