A Giveaway and a Review of some Mont Bleu Glass Nail Files

I have for you all today a little review of some Mont Bleu Glass Nail Files, I am so happy to have this product on my site again.

I think I first reviewed this product about a year and a half ago and even though I had tried Czech Glass Files before, I was so glad to find a site that sold them, and shipped to the UK, as any other time I had picked them up while in Prague.  I have used the files I got last time consistently since I got them and honestly have not noticed any lessening in how good they are when filing my nails.

I have tried many other brands of glass files, before finding this site, but these ones are hands down - no pun intended - the best I have tried. Which is one of the reasons am I so glad to have some more to show you.

Mont Bleu have a lot of different types, sizes and designs on their site.  I have a few different ones to show you. I picked one from the Elegant Line, one from the Crystal Line and one from the Hard Case Line.

The Elegant one I picked has red square crystals and little clear crystals as the design.  The Crystal one I picked has black and clear crystals in different sizes.  Both of these come in a little black velvet pouch.  Lastly I have the one in a black hard case, until now, I have been carrying the mini file I got last time in my bag, and even though it is still in perfect condition, I always worry it might break, and now with the hard case, I will have no such worry.  The file is also fitted into the lid of the case so is actually quite nice to hold when filing.

Anyway, onto the pictures.

Now, you see how pretty these are, I absolutely love both of the designs on these, and love the practically of the hard case file.  There are so many to choose from on the site, so I am sure there is something to everyones liking.

And I haven't even mentioned the file really yet.... it is made of tempered czech glass and is it noted on the site that there is a lifetime guarantee on the abrasive surface!  The size of the standard file is 135mm(5.5 inches) long and the file in the hard case is 125mm(4.92 inches long).

Now if you are still around after listening to my gushing over these files, I have a little giveaway for you.  The lovely people at Mont Bleu have kindly offered a prize of one of their sets of files.  

In this set there are 3 files with a “Waterfall” design.  A mini file which is ideal for your bag (90mm/3.54 in), a standard sized one (135mm/5.32 in) and a large one for pedicure (195mm/7.68 in)

Here is a picture of the set you can win.

This is such a great set, and good luck to all of you that enter.

The only mandatory entry is to 'like' Mont Bleu on Facebook, and the others are just for extra chances to win.  The giveaway will be open for just over 1 week and again is Worldwide and Mont Bleu will send the prize directly to the winner upon my choosing..

Quick Post with Giveaway Winner

Just a very quick post night to congratulate the winner of my a-england giveaway.

Firstly thank you to all my followers, old and new, on sticking about and writing so many comments about how much you love a-england.  I did read them all <3

There seemed to be a clear favourite, Saint George, which is an amazing green polish from the Legend Collection and is also one of a-englands bestsellers, so makes sense it is so many peoples favourite!.  But I did notice that so many of you found it difficult to choose....I don't blame you!

In case you are interested, all of the a-englands are precious to my collection, and I don't know how I would live without even one of them, but if you made me choose I would have to say Camelot/Lancelot are my most used (on my third bottle of each...), they are great alone or as a base for so many other things.  But are far as the colours go Lady of the Lake/Tristam are about equally used (almost finished a bottle of each...) as I so often wear these when I cannot decide what else to put on my nails.  These were my first 2 a-englands, so congrats to them for starting it all...ha.

But anyway, back to the winner, I hope you all help me in congratulating Valery in being the lucky winner, by following a-england on Twitter.  If I do not get a response in 24hrs, a winner will be redrawn.

Hopefully I can get back to regular posting next week, I will make a decided effort and hope to see you all around soon <3 xx
