I got given one of these in part of a body gift basket...my nails dont grow that well so im forever trimming and just painting with nail polish. this made my nails look nice and shiny and healthy without having to paint them. and if you do decide to paint them is a really good base to start with i use this all the time now.
I always use this before painting my nails (so at least once a week) and always get good results. If you use with some nail oil too you can really see the difference it makes. Very handy having all the things in one 'tool' too.
I have always had nails that flake and chip and this is the only way I've found to keep them strong. As long as I use this buffer at least once a week, my nails stay strong and long and shiny. Then only problem is that they wear out so quickly and I'm constantly having to buy new ones. I would say mine wear out after 6-8 uses.
Tips: Use the white and grey sides more often to keep nails really strong.
I was introduced to these by a friend, and when I have time to sit down, I give my nails a treat. Gets rid of the grooves on your nails, then buffs them to a real shine. I need to use it more. I got mine on special at Unichem otherwise I probably wouldn't have brought it. 7/10 as it wore out a wee bit faster then I thought it would.
I received this as a gift from my sister a few birthdays ago. I had only used a regular nail file but she gave me some nail related items and this was one of them.
This is super straight forward and fool proof. I really liked that it has each stepped numbered and colour coded so its really easy to follow the steps.
The file worked really well and smoothed out my nails. It was easy to shape my nails using this, and I really liked the buffer as it gave my nails a nice natural sheen. If you're wanting to give your nails a break from polish then buffing them makes them look nice and shiny.
I have repurchased this and am actually needing to repurchase this again. I recommend it as it's a great tool to have around, lasts a long time and helps your nails to be healthy and tidy.
I have really thin and brittle nails that break and tear at the drop of a hat.
I can't believe I only started using this a few months ago, because it really is a must if you are into looking after your nails like I am.
I can't go without mine now, I strongly suggest it for any woman's nail care regime!
I can never rave enough about buffing your nails. It stimulates the blood circulations helping your nails to get stronger, healthier and longer. Buffing your nails, I think, is always a must whether or not you put polish on top. Buffing your nails helps the polish stay on your nails longer - Think prepped base!
The Manicare 4 Way Buffer does exactly what it is designed to do in an easy to do 4 step, one block system. It has a great colour coded sides to help understand the process and order in which it is to be done.
The price is great at only $10.49 from Farmers however the only downfall to this product is I find it does not last too long ... There are other buffing blocks on the market that last longer but are double the price, so buy two of the Manicare!!
I love these buffer blocks and always have one on hand for when my nails are really ridged and horrible.
I have nails that peel and are ridged so once a month I will lightly buff and polish them. I polish them more often as it makes nail polish adhere better, however I am careful not to overbuff them as it can make my nails weaker and more prone to peeling. I buff them lightly to remove and splits and peels, then polish and shine, before adding nail polish.
When not wearing nail polish I always make sure I use the polishing side to naturally shine my nails - it makes them look 100x better.
Tips: Be careful not to overbuff if your nails are weak or damaged.
I always wear nail polish... either on my toes, fingers or both. I use the buffer once every month, I take care to remove all my nail polish and then spend the next hour shaping and buffing my nails into a smooth shine wonderland! They look like they have clear nail polish on once they're all done. It does take a while to do all fingers (and toes if you want) but the time is worth the results!
