Shiny, Healthy Nails!

I adore this nail buffer! For years I used to bite my nails, leaving them with brittle ridges when I finally stopped. With regular use from this buffer, my nails are finally shiny, smooth and healthy!

The directions for use are written on the buffer itself and are incredibly easy to follow. The green file side is very gentle so as my nails had particularly large ridges, I actually used it directly on my nail to file them down before using the purple side.

After you have smoothed your nails as much as desired, you use the white then grey side to give them a healthy shine. I like to use the grey side in rapid strokes until it makes squeaking sounds across your nails for maximum shine.

This buffer is fantastic as it leaves your nails looking naturally smooth and shiny for ages! I could not recommend a better product to anyone with ridged nails as mine now look incredible!

Nail buffer

This is a light, easy to use buffer. The steps are easy to follow and it leaves my nails super shiny.

I find the filer and the ridge remover lose their effectiveness quickly in regards to the other sides. Wiping softly with a tissue to get the nail residue off seems to help prolong the life.

I have always found with buffers that I am a clumsy oaf, and my nails tend to get caught at the sides or in the middle of the buffers. I'm not sure if there is a wrong way to buff, but I'm interested in thoughts/solutions to stop ruining the surface.

Tips: Have a tissue ready to wipe your nails and the buffer after step two.

A fun thing to do while watching Gilmore Girls

I was actually given one of these nail buffers as a gift. At first I wasn't so sure about it and didn't use it because my nails can be a bit dry/easily cracked and I didn't want to make things worse. But after use I found that it seems to help. It's a fun little activity to do if you're a fiddler and have a day of TV to watch. Unfortunately I lost mine a while ago though, so much get another!

Tips: Good for idle hands on a relaxing day of TV watching.

Nail Buffer

I received this in one of my Best beauty boxes ever, This was in a clear cellophane packet and it is a light sponge with 4 different sides of different colours with each colour for a different purpose. I thought the files on these would be far too spongy however after using this it is practical for all purposes bar the filing as the filing green side is too thick and cumbersome. The sponge is the perfect size to hold in your hand and manoeuvre, it gives a great amount of control with every side except the green as mentioned. Following the 4 steps is so easy, you use the Green section to File the nail, The purple section to remove the edges of the nail, The white section is to smooth your nail of ridges and the grey section is to buff.

Overall this is a good product and certainly the buffer is awesome. The price of $11 is realistic as this will be useful for some time.

Tips: Use a separate file for shaping and the rest is great

Easy to follow

there are several good things about this Nail care device. It's a multi-tool really - filing, smoothing & buffing. Great that the instructions for pretty nails are on the sides to use. The size is good - easy to hold in your hand & use, however if you have particularly short nails the filing gets very tricky, I resort to using my glass file. The result after using each side according to the instructions are great - very pretty nails, that if you don't have time to polish, you can still look cared for.

4 way fabulous

I got this natty little product in the We Love Nails Box.

I had seen it in the picture but was surprised that it is soft! It has four productive sides, each with it's own function.

I love that it tells you on it what it does, and also has directions on the cardboard backing of the packaging.

Each side manages it's function very well, and my nails are looking pretty slick now that they've been filed, smoothed, buffed and shone, and coated with nail strengthener. Of particular note, is that it is gentle and doesn't over-buff my nails, making them thin.

I recommend this product to others. At $10.99 it is a product you can have in your make up /nail bag, or in your desk drawer at work, to help keep your nails in tip top condition.

Highly impressed!

I admit when I received this in one of my Best beauty boxes ever, I didn't think this would be very good, when I opened the packet and it was a light sponge with 4 different sides, I didn't know what to say/think as the nail files I have owned in the past have these rough filing edges and comparing it to this one, I thought the files on these would be far too soft. But after using this endless amount of times, I love this Nail buffer so much!

The sponge is the perfect size to hold in your hand and manoeuvre, it gives a great amount of control with every side (file) that you do.

Following the 4 steps is so easy, you use the Green section to File the nail, The purple section to remove the edges of the nail, The white section is to smooth it out and the grey section is to make them shiny.

I am amazed at how healthy my nails look after each time I use the Nail buffer and applying nail polish afterwards looks like a salon job!

I highly recommend this, and I will be repurchasing again.

Healthy & Shiny Looking 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!

A must have

I was lucky enough to receive this in the 'we love nails box' I LOVE these 4 way buffers and I have had several different brands over the years.

I am very lucky, I was blessed with hoof nails. They are pretty much as hard as an animals hoof, they hardly break and I can grow them really long, really quick. I also don't get ridges, except for one- my thumb. A few years ago I completely lost my thumbnail and now it grows really odd and it's very ridged, So I love a good buffer to make it look less horrible.

I love how this has a different colour for each step and has each step clearly printed on each side. So many I have tried they wear off really quick then you can never remember which is what and I end up binning them.

I hardly ever use step 1- the nail file, it's just a tad too fine, probably due to the hoof nails. Step 2- remove ridges, this is my favourite watching those horrid little ridges disappear before my eyes. This feels like a very very fine file, very gentle but works a treat. Step 3- buff and smooth, this feels like a very soft rubber/plastic. This makes my nails feel and look smooth and even. Step 4- polish & shine, the finishing touch this is amazing, it shines your nails up so much it looks like you have a clear coat on your nails but it is just this awesome little polisher It feels a lot like a soft rubber/plastic material but thicker.

I absolutely love this 4 way nail buffer for helping my nails look so polished and smooth it especially works wonders on my silly thumbnail that has a mind of its own. Will definitely repurchase this again.
