Crystal Nail File - any good?

Do I really need one? Why are they so special?

Leighton Denny on QVC is charging £25 + £4 p&p. Seems rather a lot to me.

Also, can I get one cheaper that does just as good a job?

Barbra Daly from Tesco £4, or boots which is about a tenner iirc. Or really cheap in ebay.

Rule of thumb is you can definitely buy most things on QVC elsewhere for half the price! Wink

What is qvc and is everything on it Good?

otchayaniye · 08/03/2012 17:52

Oh, I use an essie one, but used to have an OPI one. Much of a muchness, but prefer thinner ones as my nails and hands are small

valiumredhead · 08/03/2012 17:52

No.

Thanks everyone. I'm still undecided, but will prob buy one from Amazon.

QVC is a shopping channel (sky 640, I think) and you get 30 money back guarantee, which is great for trying out expensive creams.

They are good...

BUT you can get them at Poundland so don't spend more than £1 on one!

funkydoryjewellery · 09/03/2012 07:43

I agree with the above i dont think this is somthing you can pay more for & get a loads better product i bought one 8 years ago from the clothes show & they were designing them for you i think it cost me £12 & i used it a couple of times i found them to be quite harsh on my nails but mine are quite soft anyway xx

I couldn't find them in our pound land Sad

pocketandsweet · 09/03/2012 12:03

I got one from pounds and this morning ( and with the money I saved I got Shiney's foot file)

pocketandsweet · 09/03/2012 12:03

Poundland that should be. Frickin ipad

valiumredhead · 09/03/2012 12:04

Where abouts in the store are they? I couldn't find anyone to ask.

pocketandsweet · 09/03/2012 12:10

It was with the makeup brushes. A two pack- one small and one large. To be honest I spotted them after much looking and was about to give up. Couldn't find the fake tan that everyone raved about before - ST Moritz(?).... nail files and fake tan ?... Don't I sound deep? Smile

valiumredhead · 09/03/2012 12:12

Hmmm will look again next week
