Generic 3-Sided Buffer

The pictured product to the left is a 3-sided buffer board that I bought at my local grocery store. It was 49 cents, I got it because my Sephora was out of all of their buffers. Yeah. I bought this out of desperation and I must say that it is not too bad! You can tell after one use that it has been used, I will probably destroy it within a month or so. It does a decent job of buffing the lines out of my nails; not a perfect job, but a decent one. The orange is the coursest grit, the white is the medium grit, and the other side is grey and it has a very fine grit for a polished look. I am sorry that I don't remember what brand it is exactly, but it was pretty generic. All in all not bad for 49 cents!

Sephora Crystal Nail File

As is somewhat common knowledge, crystal or glass nail files are the best type for your nails. They seal the layers of the nail better, which helps to prevent peeling, and they leave your nails very smooth. You can also use them back and forth instead of one direction across the tip of the nail.

Many nail care brands carry crystal nail files, from Revlon to OPI, but the one that I chose was Sephora's. It comes in pink and purple, I got the purple. It is only a file on one side, with the other side being smooth, and it has a very fine grit. It works really well, and I really like it! The plastic sleeve that it comes in is kind of crappy, but it is a good file. It rinses off very easily and is easy to maintain.

Nail Haul!

Yesterday I went shopping and got a few nail things. If I am going to start taking good care of my nails, I am going to need the right equipment, right? I bought OPI Nail Envy Original, a Sephora Glass Nail File, a cheap buffer board from the grocery store, and a Loew-Cornell 10/0 7670 angled brush in case I want to try nail art; I was by Micheal's anyways.

Yesterday was the first time that I have gone into my local Sephora, shocking I know! We only recently got one and I was giving it time to stock up on stuff. I don't like that Sephora. The people working there were ok, but I didn't get the nail buffer that I wanted and I was mad. It's one thing to not have it in stock (in either size mind you), but when you have 10 used testers out for it is upsetting. So in my revenge I went to the grocery store and bought a 79 cent one, and I must say that it works pretty well so far! I will do reviews on each individual product after I have used them for awhile.
