Micro-Mesh Quad-Grade Nail Buffer 5/8 x 5 3/4 inches

Purchased these on the recommendations of my classical guitar teacher. Very happy with the quad-grade buffer from Strings By Mail - perfect size and price point. Very useful to get a smooth, glass-like surface on my nails quickly.

I got this for my husband. He says “so far it is working good and I would give it high marks.” This is definitely a different kind of buffer/file compared to the kind you can purchase at a beauty supply store. Just get this and you will be happy, unless of course you are or live with a nail tech.

It took a few weeks outside for the Nail Buffer to off-gas sufficiently for me to want to hold it, let alone use it. Now that I have used it. Here are my thoughts:
There are four different "grits" on the buffer. The three coarser ones feel at the same time rough and peculiarly ineffective. The Strings by Mail glass nail file is MUCH better at shaping fast and effectively, and has a nice feel such that I I am not worried it is going to make tiny unwanted scratches on my nail. After using the glass file, touching up with some 400 to 600 grit sand paper does a much more satisfactory job than this Buffer. The finest grit on the Buffer is sort of like polishing and is innocuous, though not very effective, and if you use the glass file and sandpaper you don't need that.

I received this four or five days ago and haven't tried it yet because it still has a noxious chemical smell. So I have left it outside to off-gas. I am hoping the smell will eventually dissipate and I can use it.

Prompt service and good product.
