Manicure 4-way Buffer - recommend!

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.

Tips: When using step 2 for removing any ridges, don't rub too vigorously on thin nails, just use monthly. Use step 3 for buffing before applying nail polish. You can use step 4 daily for nicely polished shiny nails.

Good for the price

When I purchased this it was on sale for $5 so great price. My nails are quite hard and have a few ridges on them and i found the side that is supposed to remove ridges wasn't rough enough to do that. The other sides of the block are great though. Really good to use before using polish as it gives a nice clean surface. The block is super easy to hold and control. The actual filing pads wear down pretty quickly so I've found myself repurchasing this a few times but for the price it isn't that big of a deal and I'll continue using this.

Does the trick

Love This!

Each section is a different color and numbered so you know which order to go in haha! It works nicely on my nails and after the final step my nails always look shiny as if I had a light coat of clear polish on them.

For a cheap buffer it does a great job.

I will buy more of these in the future when i need to.

Works well

I really like this buffer. The shape makes it easy to hold and use. The numbered sides mean you don't need to try and remember which colour is next. For a reasonably cheap product it does a really good job at leaving nails smooth and shiny and well primed for painting. Only down side is the first two sides don't last quite as long as the 3rd and 4th.

A good buffer

Good value for money and does what you need it to. I like how it tells you which side first and then next for amateurs like me. The enamel gives is strong and you don't need to use it too long to get the desired effect. The only downside is that the buffer doesn't last as long as others of similar pricing but it is easy to hold and small and light enough to carry around in your make up bag.

Tips: Just make sure you note how long on each side you're doing your nails on to ensure an even finish on your nails. I try to keep my strokes consistent per finger

Passable

This buffer is easy to use, though I prefer a regular file. The pads wear out quite quickly but the block is easy to handle. Next time I'll try a different brand, but this is a pretty cheap option that gets the job done.

My Favourite

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.

Tips: Avoid being over vigorous especially if you have sharp edges to your nails (which I don't - round all the way for me) as it can tear the buffer pads.

Naturally buffed nails

Great product which buffs nails so that they are naturally shiny! Unfortunately it doesn't last very long. I became a bit obsessed with buffing my nails and the block wore out within using it 10 times

Tips: Be gentle with the buffer as it is more fragile then you think.

Love this Buffer

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!
