Revlon Super Shine Buffer Review

I week ago I received a fairly new product for review from ChickAdvisor.com, the Revlon Super Shine buffer.

What is it?
Put quite simply a buffer with a slightly rough side and a vinyl-ish smooth side.

What do you get?
Essentially you receive two small fun shaped buffers in one pack, I'm not sure if shape varies but I got a heart and a flower. The back of the packaging includes more information and instructions for use.

What the product claims:

CLAIMS

How it works:
Use the rough side to gently buff the nail bed to remove any ridges and imperfections, then buff with the smoother side to shine the nail.

filed down with the rough side.

Usage and results:
The first time I attempted to use this was on my toe nails and i found the shape of the buffer was a bit awkward to work with. On my fingernails however the petals of the flower seemed to be the perfect shape for my nail bed. I still get that the buffer could have been more of a longer shape to be easier to grip in my hand. Here are my nails buffed.


freshly buffed nails

You get a good buff with this which surprised me because the grit is so fine, I don't feel like I'm damaging my nails.

Next I used the patterned side of the buffer to add gloss to the nail. It worked pretty well! Very shiny, my nails looked like that had been wiped with oil! Very nice. This would be great to use for a French mani or when you don't have time to change polish after removal. BUT I would love it even more if the shape if the buffer was a little more ergonomic.

The Perfect Formula - On The Go Fabulous Nail Kit

Hello ladies,

Today have a kit from The Perfect Formula; On The Go Fabulous Nails Kit.



This kit contains

A cute brown and green carrying case (reminds me of mint chocoloate ice cream!)
Mini crystal file
Quick shine wand ( 2 way buffer)
Strong nail system, nail moisture



The case is awesome, it has little sectionals inside to hold each piece and also leaves room for you to store other polishes or other supplies.

Crystal file
Loooooove this! its so cute and works soooo well. I don't even need to apply much pressure when filing. I get no breaks or splits either, it leaves my nail tips so smooth.

Quick Shine Wand
Does what it's supposed to do, buffs and shines :) Perfect size for your purse.

Strong Nail System, Nail Moisturizer
This daily moisturizer oil claims that it conditions cuticles and maintains moisture balance in nails to prevent brittleness and breaks. Apparently you can even use it over your polish.

I have been using it on my cuticles at night and it has helped to moisturize my dry skin, the fall weather is not being kind to my skin... kinda dreading winter now :(
It has no odor and is very light, not too thick or overly oily.

Over all this little kit is awesome! The mini buffer and file are great, and the nail moisturizer works awesome on my cuticles (haven't tested on my nails yet, haven't stayed naked for more than 10 min in a loooong time!) I would definitely recommend this for traveling or just to carry around in your purse. Add in a polish and some supplies to the carrying case for a customized on the go mani kit :)

What do you think of this kit? Would you purchase it?
