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.

After using this nail file I was astounded by the results. It’s really fun to sit and watch a TV show whilst going through the different numbered steps to achieve gorgeous nails. Afterwards I kept tilting my nails this way and that to catch the light and they looked as if I was wearing an incredibly shiny base coat. This file really works well to shape, smoothen, and shine your nails. I do wish it were easier to get into the corners, and I wish that the bidding and shining sides would last longer, but overall a great product.
A must have, so easy and simple to use just follow the numbers and you won’t be disappointed. It’s compact in size perfect for the handbag. It’s reasonably priced giving good results.
I love this buffer so much. It's a one stop shop to beautiful look nails if you like them unpainted and natural or a great way to start a polish job as your polish goes on so much nicer on fresh smooth nails.
Tips: Don't go over board with it as it will eventually weaken your nails!
I've had this nail buffer for so many years, but it keeps on going. I don't use it all the time as I don't like to damage my nails. I'd recommend it if you use nail polish a lot, it helps it stick to the nail better. It also makes your nails look really shiny and pretty! Overall, I'd buy it again.
I'm not sure that these are really very good for your nails for long term use but they certainly leave my nails looking healthy! This is a great all in one product and I find it so super convenient having a file, buffer and polisher all together. I love the sleek, shiny finish this product gives my nails. I don't use it as much as I used to as I prefer a pop of colour but used it a lot when I worked in a job where bright colours weren't allowed.
I love this buffer. I've had this for YEARS, mine is at least 8 years old, and it is the exact same design. My buffer is so old but is still working after all these years, as a kid we definitely did not look after this well, so it shows how durable the product is! My nails are so smooth after this using this and it gets rid of any ridges. It's great to apply nail polish after this and is so smooth to apply.
I've seen so many variations of this product at so many different price products. Manicure simply provide the same thing, without breaking the bank.
We had a Nail Buffer included in some high-end beauty box years ago and the individual dollar amount on the Buffer was ridiculous. When compared to Manicare's Buffer, Manicare offer a far superior product. Not only is it built to last, it has a noticeable difference on your nails, both of which can't be said for products produced by other companies.
I just love my nail buffer. I often buy a new one as I use it very often. It is nice and sturdy, a nice size to hold in your hand to buff your nails. All the steps definitely does what it says and your nails looks brighter and whiter and shiny and takes away the ridges on your nails.
Great product, but would not use every day. I use my buffer once a week or once every two weeks.
i'm really annoyed at myself for losing this buffer. it's been a saving grace even after going through the wash and being chewed by cat and dog alike. it's just brilliant and if it's not in your nail care arsenal, it really should be!
to be fair i never really liked the emery board side of this buffer, it just seemed redundant to me and never fully filed my nails how i truly liked them, so i wasn't sad when that part got destroyed.
the rest though, is perfect. it's designed in a way you can hold the file and simply rotate it in your hands to get to the next step. sure, it's a lot of work, but it lasts for ages and there's something deeply satisfying about having freshly buffed nails.
i don't recommend over doing your nails, as the friction from the board rubbing makes it feel like you're a NASCAR driver and you're burning rubber. it's not pleasant and is very ouchy. gently is definitely the way to go.
the only negative is that you can instantly tell when this has been used, even once, as the firm but soft rectangle becomes squishier and harder to use. the edges peel up in places and it becomes quite unattractive. but, when i can find this buffer again i'll gladly repurchase it, and it will have pride of place in my nail kit. love it.
