Journey to Healthier, More Beautiful Nails.
About Us
Our Story
Bona Fide Beauty was founded by a father-daughter duo who shared a vision for premium and affordable nail care. After discovering the unparalleled quality of Czech glass, this Australian-Canadian team set out to introduce the world to the transformative power of Czech glass nail files.
In 2021, Bona Fide Beauty was given to a small team in Canada to fulfill the legacy of the founders and continue their work towards educating people about the benefits of glass nail tools & finding new ways to make salon quality nail care more accessible at home.
Today, Bona Fide Beauty is beloved by nail care enthusiasts everywhere. Thanks to the commitment, craftsmanship, and dedication in creating a more sustainable and accessible option for salon-quality nail care, our glass nail tools have become a staple in grooming kits across the world.
We hope that you join us on this ever changing journey because we want to be your trusted companion in navigating your journey to healthier, more beautiful nails.
Why Bona Fide Beauty?
At BFB, we do things differently. Each of our glass nail
files is a testament to craftsmanship, tradition, and the human touch. Here’s
what sets us apart:
Czech Republic Craftsmanship
Every BFB file is crafted in safe, clean, and comfortable factories in the Czech Republic, a country renowned for its centuries-old glassmaking traditions.
Handmade with Heart
Every file is etched, painted, and decorated by hand. By supporting BFB, you’re supporting real jobs and real people, many of whom are women who have become the primary providers for their families.
Rooted in Tradition
We honour the legacy of Bohemian glassmaking, carrying forward techniques that have been refined over hundreds of years, while always innovating to meet the demands of modern nail care.
