A versatile little product!

Great product has everything you really need to do your nails in one little rectangle! Great as a prep to nail polish or just to give your nails a natural healthy gleam. Can't imagine buying another one any time soon because it just does not wear out!

A must have

I was lucky enough to receive this in the 'we love nails box' I LOVE these 4 way buffers and I have had several different brands over the years.

I am very lucky, I was blessed with hoof nails. They are pretty much as hard as an animals hoof, they hardly break and I can grow them really long, really quick. I also don't get ridges, except for one- my thumb. A few years ago I completely lost my thumbnail and now it grows really odd and it's very ridged, So I love a good buffer to make it look less horrible.

I love how this has a different colour for each step and has each step clearly printed on each side. So many I have tried they wear off really quick then you can never remember which is what and I end up binning them.

I hardly ever use step 1- the nail file, it's just a tad too fine, probably due to the hoof nails. Step 2- remove ridges, this is my favourite watching those horrid little ridges disappear before my eyes. This feels like a very very fine file, very gentle but works a treat. Step 3- buff and smooth, this feels like a very soft rubber/plastic. This makes my nails feel and look smooth and even. Step 4- polish & shine, the finishing touch this is amazing, it shines your nails up so much it looks like you have a clear coat on your nails but it is just this awesome little polisher It feels a lot like a soft rubber/plastic material but thicker.

I absolutely love this 4 way nail buffer for helping my nails look so polished and smooth it especially works wonders on my silly thumbnail that has a mind of its own. Will definitely repurchase this again.

Manicare Nail Buffer 4-way

I often don't wear nail polish and am fortunate to have really strong nails that I can easily have short or long. I use this product often and find it is fabulous. Just sit down in front of your favourite TV programme, get the buffer our and away you go. You don't need to use the purple side every time you do your nails. I give my hands a quick wash before before I use the white side. A great shiny finish every time.

Best Ever

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.

Smooth and Shiny

I have a love/hate relationship with my nails. Every few months I become sick of the sight of them, and will get acrylics for 3-4 months, before deciding to go au natural again. By this point, they are worse than before - rough, dull and out of shape. The Manicare 4-Way Nail Buffer is exactly where I start. I have a quick tidy around the edges, before smoothing and shining. The smoothing and shining is really where this $10 product is magical. I have seen no other product that smoothes and shines the natural nail, without the help of a polish or treatment. I smooth off any ridges and then shine, shine, shine. To be honest, I often do follow with a nail hardener that adds extra shine, but if the condition of your nails isn't so terrible, you certainly wouldn't need to. I finish with a lovely hand cream and my hands look like they've had a trip to the salon.

If you are wanting some at-home manicure goodness, this is the perfect product to add into your routine. This is also great for anyone in a job where they can't wear nail polish, or for those who don't want to fuss around with their nails as it gives a quick, clean, natural finish.

Tips: Add this into your manicure routine.

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!

4 ways to satin finish

I love this product, i love the fact that it enables me to get a smooth and well rounded finish on my nail polish which actually then lasts longer, i love the fact that it is easy to hold and use, i also love the fact that they are a very good price and easy to store

Tips: spraying them lightly with a cleanser after use and allowing them to dry before putting them away helps them last a lot longer.

My convenience bar!

This thing is damn amazing! Great way to prep your nails and keep they looking great without having to treat them with product. Really easy to keep your nails shine and gloss. I keep mine on my coffee table so when I'm sitting down I usually end up taking care of my nails.

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!
