Manicare Nail Buffer 4-way Review

Got given my first manicare 4-way buffer from my mum when i was a tween and have owned multiple ever since! Always have one in my bathroom, travel bag & work.

manicare products are great and this is no exception, not only has it got amazing longevity but its comfortable to use/hold, there is nothing worse than trying to buff nails with something that doesn't ft in your hand naturally!

I use this on a weekly basis and highly recommend that all you nail fanatics should too. Each time you take off your nail polish (even if you are just going to re-apply straight away) its a good habit to get into filing & buffing your nails in-between to keep them healthy and your polish finish perfect :)

This particular buffer compared to other brands Ive trialed gives your nails a consistent smooth & shiny finish without buffing away your actual nail making it thin and weak.

A must have!

I love all things nail related. This is one of my favorites. I found it very easy to use, each side did what it claimed to. My nails look stunning when I file them with this product. I would definitely recommend this product to friends and family.

I have been using the 4 way buffer for years and I find it's the only thing I need to keep my nails looking good between manicures. I find a lot of emery boards too hard and they just damage my nails but this one is gentle but extremely effective. I love how beautiful and shiny I can get my nails with the buffers. Now if only this could completely destain my nails from all the polish! I love the size, it's very practical to hold, doesn't slip and is just an all round great staple in my cupboard. My only slight pet peeve is that the boards can rip quite quickly from overuse but it's cheap enough that replacing it every few months is not a worry.

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.

Okay so it takes some time to really get your nails looking amazing, but boy is it worth it. I hate wearing nail polish all of the time because I know it's so bad for my nails, so this is the second best thing to give them shine and make them look good. Take a day off every once in a while to use this on your nails, it's worth it, I promise.

This is extremely easy to use and has great results ! I love it i did find that it started to wear really fast as I used it alil to roughly k however when I brought my second one its lasted me ages

I love this, it is easy to use and the words on each side make it easy to remember which side you want for what.

I like that the 'flie' side is not too coarse and still effective.

It buffs my nails up super smooth and shiny... it's great!

I love these nail bars! They are an amazing product! They are the saviour between manicures, when you want to bring health back to your nails and keep them looking (and feeling) lovely. This product is a four step process which buffs the surface of the nail very gently to remove the bumps and then polishes it up to look very shiny. The effect lasts for days and is a great alternative to using a clear top coat nail polish. Would recommend!

I have a love/hate relationship with my nails. Every few months I become sick of the sight of them, and will get acrylics for 3-4 months, before deciding to go au natural again. By this point, they are worse than before - rough, dull and out of shape. The Manicare 4-Way Nail Buffer is exactly where I start. I have a quick tidy around the edges, before smoothing and shining. The smoothing and shining is really where this $10 product is magical. I have seen no other product that smoothes and shines the natural nail, without the help of a polish or treatment. I smooth off any ridges and then shine, shine, shine. To be honest, I often do follow with a nail hardener that adds extra shine, but if the condition of your nails isn't so terrible, you certainly wouldn't need to. I finish with a lovely hand cream and my hands look like they've had a trip to the salon.

If you are wanting some at-home manicure goodness, this is the perfect product to add into your routine. This is also great for anyone in a job where they can't wear nail polish, or for those who don't want to fuss around with their nails as it gives a quick, clean, natural finish.

I invested in one of these after I had my acrylic nails off to go back to natural nails. My nails were in terrible condition so I followed the steps no 1 green file nail which it did then step 2 purple remove ridges yip did that and I had plenty. Step 3 white buff & smooth and yes I am impressed so far. Step 4 grey polish & shine wow my nails look really shiny. This is so easy to use and you get professional looking nails it only takes 5 minutes and your done great looking nails
