Nicely Shaped Nails

I was lucky enough to recieve a I love nails box with my nzbrands box . Br was running a TGIF bundle during the mothers day period. I thought that this was a good deal. My nails are normally brittle and chip alot from my daily activities. This box was a good guide to show me how to care for my nails.

This nail buffer came to me securely packaged. This nail buffer has a easy to follow guide on the packet. It is rectangular in shape and is numbered on each side to file , shape and buff my nails. I found step 1 on this nail file easy to remove any excess nail chipping I had.

After using this nail file my nails look nicely shaped. As for the fourth side which adds shine to my nails I couldn't quite get my nails shiny but they are smoother. So far I have managed to get a total of four uses out of this file and its still in good working order.

I never really care for my nails properly so this box was great for teaching me each step to care for my nails better. I would repurchase this again because my nails feel better than they have ever been before.

4 way fabulous

I got this natty little product in the We Love Nails Box.

I had seen it in the picture but was surprised that it is soft! It has four productive sides, each with it's own function.

I love that it tells you on it what it does, and also has directions on the cardboard backing of the packaging.

Each side manages it's function very well, and my nails are looking pretty slick now that they've been filed, smoothed, buffed and shone, and coated with nail strengthener. Of particular note, is that it is gentle and doesn't over-buff my nails, making them thin.

I recommend this product to others. At $10.99 it is a product you can have in your make up /nail bag, or in your desk drawer at work, to help keep your nails in tip top condition.

A fun thing to do while watching Gilmore Girls

I was actually given one of these nail buffers as a gift. At first I wasn't so sure about it and didn't use it because my nails can be a bit dry/easily cracked and I didn't want to make things worse. But after use I found that it seems to help. It's a fun little activity to do if you're a fiddler and have a day of TV to watch. Unfortunately I lost mine a while ago though, so much get another!

Tips: Good for idle hands on a relaxing day of TV watching.

Nail buffer

This is a light, easy to use buffer. The steps are easy to follow and it leaves my nails super shiny.

I find the filer and the ridge remover lose their effectiveness quickly in regards to the other sides. Wiping softly with a tissue to get the nail residue off seems to help prolong the life.

I have always found with buffers that I am a clumsy oaf, and my nails tend to get caught at the sides or in the middle of the buffers. I'm not sure if there is a wrong way to buff, but I'm interested in thoughts/solutions to stop ruining the surface.

Tips: Have a tissue ready to wipe your nails and the buffer after step two.

Good for the price

I think this nail buffer is good especially for the price. I find it handy that the buffer is four sided so you can simply just flip the buffet around to use the next side. The rectangular shape and size makes it easy to hold and slide over your nails without applying much pressure. I like that the sides are also different colours so you can easily distinguish between each side and not get mixed up.

It depends on how rough your nails are, but i find a light buff for me gets rid of most of the uneven ridges in my nails. I hardly use side one (for filing the shape of your nail), but find that side four wears done much faster.

I have since switched to using ridge filler now that my buffer is worn out. But i would recommend this product to those wanting a cheap but good quality nail buffer.

Shiny, smooth nails.

I can be very lazy and unmotivated with my nails so any nail care needs to be quick and easy. This 4 in 1 system ticks all the boxes for me. The 4 steps are printed on each side of the nail buffer so it's easy to use. Step 1: green side has just enough roughness to file down the ends of my nails. Step 2: purple side helps smooth out ridges but I offen skip this step as my nails are already thin and are not in a very good condition so I don't want to cause more damage. Step 3: white side gives a lovely smooth feeling which can be quite addictive to use. Step 4: grey side is another favourite as it makes my nails so shiny and healthy looking. I try to use it at least once a week. The buffer started to peel away on some of the sides after a few weeks so not sure how it would go with heavier use. Yes I recommend.

That's exactly what I wanted to know. I want one that I can file the ends down just a little and also do the smoothing etc etc!

LOVE THE EFFECT

After using this nail file I was astounded by the results. It’s really fun to sit and watch a TV show whilst going through the different numbered steps to achieve gorgeous nails. Afterwards I kept tilting my nails this way and that to catch the light and they looked as if I was wearing an incredibly shiny base coat. This file really works well to shape, smoothen, and shine your nails. I do wish it were easier to get into the corners, and I wish that the bidding and shining sides would last longer, but overall a great product.

Pretty good

I've had this nail buffer for so many years, but it keeps on going. I don't use it all the time as I don't like to damage my nails. I'd recommend it if you use nail polish a lot, it helps it stick to the nail better. It also makes your nails look really shiny and pretty! Overall, I'd buy it again.

Can't Live Without It

I've seen so many variations of this product at so many different price products. Manicure simply provide the same thing, without breaking the bank.

We had a Nail Buffer included in some high-end beauty box years ago and the individual dollar amount on the Buffer was ridiculous. When compared to Manicare's Buffer, Manicare offer a far superior product. Not only is it built to last, it has a noticeable difference on your nails, both of which can't be said for products produced by other companies.
