So have you ever heard of a nail file addiction? I have one. Ever since the package from Mont Bleu nail tools arrived from The Czech Republic, I can’t stop filing my nails.
I had to go to the post office on a Saturday a few weeks ago to pick up a mysterious package that was sent to me via registered mail. What a relief and wonderful surprise when I opened the box and found exquisite nail tools from Mont Bleu! In addition to the tools was a post card from Prague, a city I have always wanted to visit.
The Czech Republic (in particular, Bohemia) is known for crafting beautiful glasswear. In fact, the red white and blue glass flowered necklace I wrote about a week ago from Uno Alla Volta was made by Bohemian glass makers.
From Mont Bleu, I received:
- a stunning crystal embellished glass nail file
- a generously sized foot file
- a cuticle nipper
- a glass “orange stick”.
They are all so finely made and luxurious that I was almost speechless when I took them out of the box.
Mont Bleu nail implements are crafted from Czech tempered crystal glass. They’re incredibly durable and last a looooong time. Each item I received came in its own protective case. You must must must check out the Mont Bleu website to see all of their magnificent items!
Mont Bleu Crystal Glass Nail File
Earlier this year, I tried a glass nail file for the first time from a brand that I like for beauty products. I thought it was a good nail file. But once I tried the Swarovski glass crystal encrusted ombre crystal glass file from Mont Bleu, there is absolutely no comparison. Mont Bleu’s nail file wins hands down. In fact, I am so in love with my Mont Bleu crystal glass “Bubbles Black #1” nail file from the Crystal Line that I can’t stop filing my nails. It files so precisely yet so gently. Plus I can’t stop admiring it! Between the Swarovski crystals and the black velvet case that it comes in, it’s a stunner. In terms of performance, it’s the best.
My crystal glass nail file is WB-M1 and the crystals are light rose/fuchsia but there are 6 other color choices as well. The length is 5.32 inches.
If you are in the market for a gorgeous, well-made long-lasting glass nail file (it has a Lifetime Guarantee!) in a variety of sizes and styles, Mont Bleu is the brand to buy. Or to gift – with the gorgeous crystals and color choices, it makes an impressive and thoughtful gift.
At present, the WB-M1 glass nail file with Swarovski crystals is on sale, 2 nail files in different sizes for $10.50 on Amazon. That’s a steal! I’ve got the Amazon box below (unfortunately the photo in the ad isn’t showing the product) or click on the link above.
Mont Bleu Crystal Glass Foot File
I had never heard of a glass foot file before. I received the medium scraper and callous remover in Gold and Pink. It’s a gorgeously crafted thick piece of glass that’s double sided: one side to remove callouses and the other side to smooth the feet afterwards. Mine has a raspberry pink ombre mid-section leading to crackled pink/gold embellished top. The style BSF-M comes in 13 different color choices!
Although I have an electric foot file that I like a lot, I’m often to lazy to get it out to use it. Plus the electric pedi-file takes up a lot of space. The Mont Bleu crystal glass foot file is so slim and attractive, so easy to keep at hand on my night table or bathroom vanity, that I can reach for it anytime. And it does just as good a job making my feet as smooth as the electric file!

Mont Bleu Cuticle Nippers
The Mont Bleu Cuticle Nippers that I received are truly a precision tool. They are so well made, they look like something you would see in a top notch laboratory! They are a professional grade nail tool. The Mont Bleu cuticle nippers are made of stainless steel with extra-fine, sharp blades that make it easier to precisely trim the cuticle. They are hand finished by skilled craftsmen in Solingen. They come in three sizes.
Mont Bleu Dual End Glass Cuticle Pusher
My Mont Bleu Dual End Glass Cuticle Pusher in pretty pink is a lovely tool to clean and push back cuticles on fingers or toes. The pointed end is perfect for cleaning along the inside of the nail, and the rounded head is perfect for gently pushing back cuticles. I love the pale pink one that I got, but it comes in four other colors as well. Style: GCS-1.2
Mont Bleu glass nail and foot files and nail tools can be purchased on their website where I found the price to be listed in euros but there must be a way to convert to USD. If you shop on the Mont Bleu website, you can save 20% with the code: BLOG. If you’re in the U.S., you may prefer to shop on Amazon where there are some amazing sale prices right now. If you’re a retailer and you want to partner with Mont Bleu, you can find their wholesale website here.
I absolutely could not be more delighted with the beautiful precision nail tools I received from Mont Bleu. Frankly, after trying these, I couldn’t imagine using anything else.
I am a huge fan of glass nail file but have never tried a brand name one. This sounds really good, Allison and if you’re so in love with it then I’ll need to check it out.

I had tried another glass file from a private label brand I usually love, but their file cannot compete with the files from Mont Bleu. Mont Bleu is in another class altogether! I don’t know about the prices on Amazon Canada, but on Amazon USA the prices for Mont Bleu are an absolute steal!
OK I am sold and ordering. I am so tired of paper nail files that break and don’t do a good job, this just sounds great for both hands and feet. Thanks for sharing the Amazon link 🙂

Mont Bleu picked them for me, and they did a great job! You will love love love them!
Prague is also on my bucket list! The mysterious package turned out to be a delight! The glass file looks so luxurious!
I was so relieved and then so excited when I opened the package from The Czech Republic! This gorgeous, embellished glass nail file is so effective – it’s a pleasure to use. Remember this brand – it’ll change the way you feel about taking care of your nails!
I love glass files! The next time I need one, I’ll be sure to check them out!
Mont Bleu is the best, Samantha! They are life-changing nail files!
These are so pretty but the best thing is that Mont Bleu works so perfectly. I have a mirror from them that is the prettiest item in my purse. I lose things all the time so I should buy more.
You are right, Marcia: the Mont Bleu files are so effective and work so well – that’s one of the reasons I keep fiddling with my nails – I now looooove filing my nails! And it’s so pretty too. I saw those purse mirrors online and I am sorely tempted!
I have one of these nail files, and it’s so SO good! A step above any other nail file for sure.

Glad you agree! I am so impressed by Mont Bleu!
I have never had a file that I’ve loved as much as the Mont Bleu ones! I love the idea of the glass cuticle pusher.
I’m glad you’re in the know about Mont Bleu too! The glass cuticle pusher feels so smooth and gentle. I know you’d love it
Wow, Allison, thank you so much for this. These are unbelievably beautiful and how awesome that they actually work – and what a beautiful gift idea! I’m definitely heading on over to Amazon!
Michele, I can’t recommend the Mont Bleu crystal glass and the stainless steel tools more highly! The craftsmanship is unbelievable! And the glass nail file works so much better on my nails than a traditional emory board or nail file. With glass, you are able to go back and forth on your nail without damaging it. The deal on Amazon for the two files for $10.50 is a steal!
Those look super fancy really decorative! Nice spread & great read!
Thanks a lot, Jessica!
OMG that glass nail file looks like pure luxury!
It is, but it doesn’t cost all that much! On Amazon, two for $10 with lifetime guarantees. Well worth it, Nicole!
Never heard of a glass nail file.. need to try this because I hate regular ones !
Not all glass files are created equal. Mont Bleu is the best. With a glass file, you can actually do a “sawing” back and forth motion and it doesn’t damage your nails. It’s amazing
WOW it’s glass? sooooo cool I want it!
Glass files are the best. I always cringe when I use the paper based ones. It feels like I sanding my nails down, Eeeeww. The ones you’ve shared here look stunning, like works of art and I can’t believe that price. Can’t wait to try them
Michelle, I was blown away by Mont Bleu’s glass nail file, and I love the foot file too. Not only is the MB glass file gorgeous, it works perfectly, so much better than the other glass file I have from another brand. The price for the Mont Bleu nail files on Amazon is a steal
You’ve got the prettiest tools for a perfect mani <3
I can always use a great nail file; this looks like one I could definitely use!

Mont Bleu glass nail files completely blow away a regular nail file. Period. The end.
I’ve been totally sold to the Mont Bleu files since I tested them back in February, they’re excellent quality and also sooooo gorgeous!! I have many of them and I have even purchased a set for my mum.
That’s great, Nati! Glad to hear that you’re a fan of Mont Bleu too.
I’ve never even heard of a glass nail file! Do you like it better than a regular nail file?
There’s no comparison, Kelly. A regular nail file can damage your nails especially if you use a back and forth motion. The Mont Bleu glass nail files don’t damage your nails and you can “saw” away. Plus they last forever, literally.
Wow that’s pretty cool. I have never heard of a glass nail file and I like it. So different.
Mont Bleu glass nail files blow regular nail files out of the water, and they last a lifetime!
Never seen a glass file for nails. It is super luxury item.
Looks great. Loved the colors too.
You can never go wrong with a great nail file. Love the pictures and definitely a good read.
Thanks so much, Sue!
Oh wow!!! I have NEVER heard of a glass nail file. Thank you so much for this post as I will be headed to their website to purchase one!!!
