It looks like there might be some reviews from first-time nail buffer users, or people who maybe aren't sure what the best uses for this would be.

This product works just like you think it will, if you regularly buff your fingernails/toenails. This is not as "industrial strength" as the block your manicurist will have in the salon, but you don't want that anyway. I estimate that it is in the middle range of home-use buffers for grit strength (think sandpaper if you don't know what I mean here) which should be good for beginners, but I also use it, and I have been doing my own full manicures for 25 years, since I went to cosmetology school. This is a good price when I compare it to the quality and price that I can find in either regular retail stores or professional beauty supply stores. The free shipping is not slow boat to China by any means either. I got mine faster than I was supposed to, just like another reviewer.

To the woman who can't get her toenails smooth, you need a professional file first, then to follow these directions. Pro files are usually black, large, and quite inexpensive. This one is .69 on Amazon for example:

http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Nail-File-Black-Model/dp/B003M2L19C/ref=sr_1_41?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1369245513&sr=1-41&keywords=nail+file

Slowly and CAREFULLY use whichever side of the file doesn't scare you :) to buff the surface of your toenails. You will see that you can remove a serious amount of nail this way because you're using a file, so be careful! Try to use smooth, even strokes. This will save you time later. Then, when your toenail is rough from the file, but evenly rough and NOT ridgy, then use a block file like the one in this listing. Start with the roughest side, the one that masquerades as a nail file (I wouldn't use it to file with though; use a pro file instead). Use quick back and forth strokes all over the nail. The smoother the grit on the buffer (like sides 2-4 on this buffer) the less you need to pay attention or even look what you're doing. Use the file, and then 3 sides of the buffer, then go watch tv and use the 4th, shine side. If by 2 minutes into the show your toenails aren't shiny and gorgeous, call me, I'll be right over.

Update: SHIPPING - No longer free shipping (March of '13), but the price actually ends up being 2 cents less. I paid $4 with free shipping in Dec of '12; now it is $2.99 + $.99 = $3.98. CUSTOMER IMAGE - It's harder than I thought to get a good picture of the shine coming off a fingernail, but I did my best. See above :)

Not as good as others
By RachelYK
This shipped quickly. I was expecting a good quality buffer and in part it is. First few times I used it I loved it but it quickly wears out and becomes ineffective and the shining side became loose...almost falling off the buffer entirely. I've used worse but I've also used better.

Good
By Jenn
I like it but I probably wouldn't get it again. It can be hard to try to attend to all spots on your nail.
