Purchased this last week after reading the reviews and wow I'm in love. I couldn't wear polish the whole week so thought this would be good to see if it kept my nails looking shiny lol. I was asked if I had clear polish on amazing. I'm used to a 3 sided buffer so was a bit different using 4 sides but wow amazing. I followed the instructions on how to use each side and the results well have I said amazing, didn't feel it made my nails any thinner as I am having trouble with weak peeling nails. I arrived home yesterday and of course I wanted to paint my nails right away, the polish went on so much smoother totally surprised. This is one of my must have at all times products.

I wouldn't be without mine! Very easy to use and doesn't feel uncomfortable and gritty on your nails so very relaxing you can do it front of the TV :) I keep one in the car as well for emergencies or when I'm waiting to pick someone up and getting bored ;)
Tips: Take your time!
I love these little blocks. I am amazed every time I use it at the shiny it gives my nail. It looks like clear nail polish. I like that these ones are number, makes them super user friendly. They sides do wear down quite fast (especially the buffing final side) if you use it regularly but they are relatively inexpensive and found in most stores beauty products are found so not hard to replace.
This buffer is really solid in the hand and easy to use with the coloured sides also having the order of use printed on them so you know which side to use next. It leaves your nails smooth and shiny and ready to be painted. The only downside I found with this buffer was that the sides wore down quite quickly although purchasing a new one is easy as they can be found almost everywhere.
Tips: Putting a cuticle oil on your nails before buffing helps to keep your nails moisturised as well as helping the buffer work quicker.
I buff my nails weekly, its an essential for me and makes my nails super smooth. When applying nail polish, the colours transfer beautifully. Super easy to use from the big bulky grip.
I bought this wee gem at New Years while we were away and I forgot my file, I mistly use it for nail prep before polish and I adore it. In saying that I don't think the file side is that fantastic but if you are just wanting to fix a wee tear it is more than capable! I would definitely reccomend buying one! Mine is looking a tad sad on the purple and grey sides but that is just due to plenty of use!
I got one of these and fell in love , my nails have never been so smooth and shinny , i often get asked what i use on my nails to keep them looking so healthy and a lot of people think i am wearing clear nail polish , i like that its natural and i don't have to put chemical on my nail to get the same effect , wonderful product
Tips: try it out you will be pleasantly surprised
I have a few of these and they are great!! easy to use and they last for ages. I am always doing mine and friends nails and wouldn't be without one. I find these great because i don't have to carry heaps of different file/buffers now.
I've been using this nail buffer for a few years now & it really is one of the best I've tried! I've tried the Orly 3 way buffer & the dead sea 4 way buffer - both of these are great but do not compare to the manicare one!
The block is firm but flexible and is nice to hold, all sides are marked clearly & numbered so you know which order to use them in.
They leave a beautiful shine on the nail that lasts a couple of days & preps the nail for perfect polish application.
Tips: Don't use step 1 too often as it can weaken the nail over time, if using on clients spray with alcohol for easy cleaning
People are paying ridiculous amounts in the malls for a product that is so similar to this. I love my manicare buffer! When I use it more often my nails seem stronger and healthier.
It has an easy to follow numbered and colour coded system. I use it with a bit of cuticle oil. The downside is it wears out quite quickly.
Tips: Some polishes peel after you buff.
