Handy all in one nail file/buffer

A clever design to have all in one instead of multiple files. Easy to sit watching tv and doing your nails. Handy to have the sides labelled and different colours too.

So smooth

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!

I think I must be too vigorous!!

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!!

Manicare 4-way Buffer

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 :)

The Cure for Battered Nails

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.

Buff for shine, health and longer nails

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!!

Nail Buffer Bliss

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.

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!

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.

As easy as 1,2,3..4

I brought this item after seeing a friend’s nails. They were so shiny and they were natural! I love wearing nail polish, but with work most the time it is just not practical so this seemed like a good alternative to care and maintain my nails.

This was the first nail buffer I had every used, I loved how easy it was to understand and apply. This item is in a rectangle shape, and feels soft, like it has a sponge inside it. The size makes it easy to hold and grip while buffing each nail, plus it’s easy to take with you if you’re going somewhere. Each side is a different colour, with a different number and label on it. Making it easy to know the process that needs to occur for your nails to shine like diamonds. I find the product really gentle on my nails, and really effective at giving them a nice sheen. Additionally the item itself is really affordable, and easy to locate. I purchased mine from farmers, and will be buying it again!
