Why Bona Fide Beauty?

We do things differently at Bona Fide Beauty.

A humble origin story. Before our glass files became a holy-grail product of nail enthusiasts everywhere, BFB was the vision of a father-daughter team.

Czech Republic manufacturing. Our products are made in the Czech Republic in safe, clean, and comfortable factories.

Upholding tradition. BFB nail files are crafted using centuries-old glassmaking techniques. We’re dedicated to carrying this tradition well into the 21st century.

Handmade touch. Our business creates jobs. All etching, painting, and decorating is done by living, breathing, lovely individuals at our partnered Czech factories.

Maker empowerment. Many of the folks who make our products are woman who, by working with Bona Fide Beauty, have become the primary breadwinners of their families.
