Reviews
I had been using other brands of 4 way buffers for a few years, and found them really good, so I saw this on BR being reviewed and purchased from Farmers, because I was looking for a new one anyway. The price is reasonable, $10.99 but if you can get it on special at Farmers, all good! The four steps are printed on the sides of the buffer, which is really helpful, those other brands I used didn't have anything printed on them. Step 1. File nail. Step 2. Remove ridges. Step 3. Buff and smooth. Step 4. Polish and shine. My nails ended up nicely shaped, buffed and shiny after using this buffer. I would recommend to everyone. The only complaint would be that step 1 wears out sooner than the other steps.
Tips: When using step 2 for removing any ridges, don't rub too vigorously on thin nails, just use monthly. Use step 3 for buffing before applying nail polish. You can use step 4 daily for nicely polished shiny nails.
Nail files are something that I usually don’t bother with, as I find them to be generally flimsy and not overly effective, but this one has me sold.
The shape and size of this nail file oblong make it nice and easy to grip and use, and there’s not way that it’s going to break, as can be the case with typical nail file shapes and sizes.
This is a very gentle file, even the most coarse panel is not very coarse. If you use this file in the 4 step way that it’s designed for, nails are left looking super healthy, shiny and bright.
I’ll definitely repurchase this file once it’s worn, every woman should have one!
The instructions for use of this buffer are printed on the product itself which makes it super easy to use. I've definitely accidentally used a rough edge of a nail buffer to shine my nails, and it is not fun.
Step 1: File. I don't really use this edge very often, as I have a separate nail file that I find is more effective.
Step 2: Remove Ridges. I don't have many ridges or stains, but this definitely helps smooth them down. Use this step sparingly though!! Too much makes your nails thin.
Step 3: Buff. I use this a lot and find it works well to give a smooth surface.
Step 4: Shine. My favourite part. I've pretty much destroyed this side of the the block through repeated use, but it still gives a super sleek shine.
Tips: A quick easy alternative to doing a full manicure.
I can be very lazy and unmotivated with my nails so any nail care needs to be quick and easy. This 4 in 1 system ticks all the boxes for me. The 4 steps are printed on each side of the nail buffer so it's easy to use. Step 1: green side has just enough roughness to file down the ends of my nails. Step 2: purple side helps smooth out ridges but I offen skip this step as my nails are already thin and are not in a very good condition so I don't want to cause more damage. Step 3: white side gives a lovely smooth feeling which can be quite addictive to use. Step 4: grey side is another favourite as it makes my nails so shiny and healthy looking. I try to use it at least once a week. The buffer started to peel away on some of the sides after a few weeks so not sure how it would go with heavier use. Yes I recommend.
A clever design to have all in one instead of multiple files. Easy to sit watching tv and doing your nails. Handy to have the sides labelled and different colours too.
