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.

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!
Not going to lie, had some rather high expectations for this little foam rectangle after reading the super positive reviews so far.
I just went out and bought one of these as I have some serious damage to my nails at the moment (peeling, ridges, and all over disappointment). So I opened this up as soon as I got home and got to work on the four step process: file, remove ridges, buff and smooth, polish and shine.
And I cannot stop touching my nails now. They are so smooth!!! I was not expecting them to feel so smooth after first use but I haven't felt my natural nails so nice in months! Don't get me wrong, I don't think they are as shiny as I was expecting but that could simply be because I have not used this tool enough.
This is now going to be an essential in my nail kit - holds everything you need in one handy rectangle. No need for mountains of files/buffers etc separately any more. Yes, it is not the cheapest thing out there, but you get four in one from a trusted brand.
Now to try paint my nails now that they are smooth - maybe now my nail polish will look nice!
Someone bought me one of these as a gift. I was a sceptic but turns out I love the final outcome on my nails. And the shine seems to last longer than my tragic attempts at nail polish. My only concern is that the grey buffer seemed to get thin before the othe sides so I am thinking I may have been perhaps a little to vigorous in the buffing. Overall I love the way my nails shine but look natural.
Tips: Don't over buff!!
Love this product! I cannot speak highly enough of it! I bought it a while ago because it seemed very convenient - you really do have it all in one. I love how durable it is, it isn't a thin file that would snap in your bag but a thicker, stronger version which can be taken around absolutely anywhere. Each side is also clearly marked so you cannot get it wrong! I am definitely going to rebuy after my current one has worn out :)
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 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 don’t always like to wear nail polish as it weakens them, so using this buffer allows my nails to be super smooth and shiny without the hassle.
The numbered and colouring system makes it so easy. I wouldn’t pay the RRP of $10.29, but I got my on sale so it’s fine. The size of the buffer block makes it easy and comfortable to hold, and it’s a quality product that last quite a while too.
I have tried cheaper brands in the past and they are definitely inferior products and a waste of time and money. The blocks peel and wear down all too easily. The Manicare brand buffer is the best.
Tips: Take it easy and slow when first starting out to make sure you get the right technique down pat. Smooth see-saws.
This is great! I hate filing my nails because of the feeling you get with most nail files, however, this is so smooth it doesn't even feel like you're filing. It also leaves my nails nice and shiny with the buffer which is great when I don't paint them.
Tips: Always follow the four steps!
Love this! A totally natural shine that lasts and doesn't chip! It's an easy way to add a polished look to your whole being.
