So when the opportunity came up to review these Mont Bleu Glass Nail Files, naturally I was interested.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Well, the files they sent were stunning! Painted in a lovely blue to pink gradient with pretty swirls of Pink and Purple hand decorated genuine Swarovski Crystals. My plan was to originally add polymer clay to several of the sample files. But quite honestly, the Swarovski crystal embellishments were so pretty, I could only bring myself to covering just one of the files&#8230; using Polyform&#8217;s Sculpey Souffle polymer clay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Perhaps in the future Mont Bleu will send me some of their plain glass files, so I can do a more in depth step-by-step, polymer clay tutorial. I just don&#8217;t want to cover up any more of those beautiful Swarovski Crystals ;-)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The Mont Bleu Glass Nail Files are sold at the <em><strong>Design Glassware<\/strong><\/em> website (see direct link just below the video), and are shipped internationally from the Czech Republic. They currently offer free shipping for orders over a certain amount. I am not totally sure to which countries they extend that offer to, but you can find that out by going to their site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The company graciously offered a coupon code for everyone viewing today&#8217;s review video. It will give you a full 20% Discount&#8230; which is a great deal since their prices are already quite reasonable!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The Discount coupon code is&#8230; <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>VLOG<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In the remainder of the video I give tips and tricks for covering any glass nail file with polymer clay&#8230; as well as tips for adding your cane slices. Important baking information is also covered, so that you can make beautifully handmade polymer clay glass nail files too!<\/span><a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DDgvrhoapJI?rel=0\" width=\"575\" height=\"323\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Resource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.design-glassware.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external external_icon\">Mont Bleu Deisgn Glassware<\/a> [20% Disc Code&#8230; <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>VLOG<\/strong><\/span>]<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=19779#video\">Making A Retro Mod Cane Using Your Polymer Clay Extruder<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=18755#video\">Sculpey Souffle Polymer Clay Tutor Review<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=16923#video\">Liquid Polymer Clay Brands Compared<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=19193#video\">Polymer Clay Baking Tips Using a Foil Pan Lid<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Do you have any suggestions for videos on tips, techniques or products you would like to learn more about?
