Zip File and a Smile!

Ever since there was a blurb about it in O Magazine a few months ago, I’ve been trying to track down the Tweezerman Zip File, without success. Why? O touted that this would solve all my nail-file-lost-at-the-bottom-of-my-purse problems: Small but easy to find, no more covered in gunky purse stuff (don’t ask) and not snagging everything in sight, including my good nails. It’s a small nail file enclosed in a plastic shell with a little button you “zip” up and down to move the file in and out of its protective case. Sound too good to be true? It was: I couldn’t find it.

O Mag didn’t give any buying hints, so I checked the area drug and beauty stores, no luck.

So I’ve shopped and searched the manicure departments until SCORE! Today Moi found it, right around the corner at my neighborhood RickysNYC. $5.00. I love me some Rickys.

I asked: it’s only been in stock about 2 weeks, so I haven’t been walking right past the display. There were several colors to choose from, I picked baby blue with smiley-faced stars, because blue is Moi favorite color. And added bonus: this was a special promotion, and $1 from every sale is donated to The SmileTrain Foundation, which provides free surgeries to children with cleft-lip and palate. Go Tweezerman!

Give a girl a hand, nicely manicured, bien sur. And give a smile to a good cause.

Moi tip: If you don’t live in NYC and you can’t find the Zip File near you, get it online at drugstore.com
