Manicare Nail Buffer 4-way Review

This great tool does it all. One of the great features is it tells you on each side exactly what it is for, too easy. I love the fact that the emery side is not too harsh and it dosent leave your nails rough. My favourite part is the buffer. When I dont use nail polish I always buff and my nails are left super shiny and looking healthy. A good value all round nail tool.

This reminds me of the woodwork workshop back at school, where you would start filing the edges roughly and then smooth it slowly my using softer sand paper :-P

It works amazing! First I use it to shape my nails then to smooth them step by step. And unlike other flies which leave your nails white of the edges, this gives a really nice look and feel. I use it at least every week and I always have it handy in my bag just in-case my nail breaks during the day.

My favourite nail file / buffer thus far . I have gotten sick of losing flimsy , forever breaking 24pks of nail files. Easy to use , easy to find and works awesomely. 5/5

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
