Beautiful Smooth Nails

I love these nail bars! They are an amazing product! They are the saviour between manicures, when you want to bring health back to your nails and keep them looking (and feeling) lovely. This product is a four step process which buffs the surface of the nail very gently to remove the bumps and then polishes it up to look very shiny. The effect lasts for days and is a great alternative to using a clear top coat nail polish. Would recommend!

Not abrasive enough for my stubborn nails

I have a new found pamper session thanks to my best friend and it's keeping my nails on point and looking gorgeous with polish. In order for this to happen my nails need to be in the best possible shape so I bought this to help keep them on point. I paid $7.50 for mine so got it for less than RRP which was a score.

I love that it's numbered and the instructions are clear, starting from number one and going on until you reach the fourth. I find that step 1, although I don't want to take off too much nail is far too soft to get anything off in a hurry. It needs to be two levels grittier than it currently is to get anywhere. I do enjoy the other steps because it gives my nails shine and makes them look their best without visiting a salon. I find that I have to use a more abrasive file first and then go on to step 1.

I find step 1 is great for removing left over nail polish that I forgot though as well as the yellow tinge that is left after nail polish is removed. The buffer which is step 4 leaves my nails simply shiny. I am almost waiting for it to sparkle and twinkle like they do in cartoons, it's that shiny.

Using this before hand just makes it so much easier for the nail polish to go on smoothly and have a more satin finish than if I just slop the polish on unbuffed and unshaped nails. Although step 1 doesn't work like it says I still love it and highly recommend.

Tips: If the step 1 isn't abrasive enough for you like it was for me; file first with a normal file and then use it as a second step.

Good

I got mine on sale for only $5 which is a super good deal! I love how it's clearly labelled and colored so I know exactly which order to use it. It's easy to grip and the end results for my nails are always smooth and shiny.

Tips: Do not buff too aggressively! And don't use too often either as it thins your nails!

Great!

I love this, it is easy to use and the words on each side make it easy to remember which side you want for what.

I like that the 'flie' side is not too coarse and still effective.

It buffs my nails up super smooth and shiny... it's great!

Nail Buffer

My friend gave me this nail buffer for my birthday. I had not seen one before so was interested in seeing how it works. I love it! It is so easy to use and handy to have the four gadgets in one easy to use tool. The emery board has worn out now but the rest still work. I've only used a nail file before so the extra features were new to me. I love those features particularly getting the shiny nails. I wouldn't be without this now, a great birthday present.

Tips: Small enough to fit in your hand bag for when you need a quick manicure.

Half disappointed

I found myself feeling a bit disappointed after using this product as I felt that not every side of the 4-way buffer did its job properly. Step 1: file, this was honestly the worst file I've ever used because it simply didn't file much of my nail and it took a long time to use. I just thought that I already had files that would work so much better than this one. Step 2: Remove ridges. Again, I felt like I already had a similar product within the same price margin that did a much better job at removing ridges. Step 3: Buff and Smooth, this side DID work well, my nails felt really smooth after using this side and once I did Step 4: polish and shine they felt really good and I was left with lovely shiny nails! So overall I found that the first 2 steps could be improved but for the price of the product it was ok.

Tips: The back of the packet the buffer comes in has great instructions, you can follow them :)

Multi-purpose Buffer

The file side of the 4-way buffer is very subtle and I found the emery board wore away very quickly... so this product is not the best for the file. The other 3 sides however work really really well. I use this every time I do a manicure. The sides are numbered so you know what order to use them. This product is very good for smoothing nails. My nails peel and this product smooths them over ready for painting.

Tips: Dont reply on this product for the file - you will need to purchase a separate emery board.

Worth The Effort

Okay so it takes some time to really get your nails looking amazing, but boy is it worth it. I hate wearing nail polish all of the time because I know it's so bad for my nails, so this is the second best thing to give them shine and make them look good. Take a day off every once in a while to use this on your nails, it's worth it, I promise.

Tips: Be careful with how hard you grip it, I did ruin my first one because I got a bit too aggressive and a couple of the little pads came off.

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!
