The Body Shop Nail Block Review

Hello friends

I am going to review the nail polishing block from The Body Shop here. This is one of my favorite things from TBS. I can guarantee that if you have ever used it you will definitely agree with me on this. It completely transforms the dull looking nails to shiny and healthy looking ones in minutes. :haanji:

 

tbs buffer 01 The Body Shop Nail Block Review

 

Price: 196.00 INR

About The Product:
Basically it’s a rectangular nail block with 4 sides and each side has a different function.i’ll explain each and every side one by one with pictures so that you understand its functions clearly,and see how effective it actually is. :toothygrin:

1.File Nail Edge/ Limer

As all of you must be aware the first thing that comes when you go for a manicure/pedicure is filing. Similartly the first side that comes into play here is the file nail edge/ Limer . It has a soft sand paper type texture that files the nail very effectively. Not very harsh like the nail filers available in the market, and the block gives more control as you hold it in your hand. I usually over do with the filing when done with other filers, but this one works just perfect for me.

Done with the filing. (Please ignore my yellow and dull looking nails here) icon sad The Body Shop Nail Block Review (
2. Remove Ridges/ Lisser

tbs buffer 03 The Body Shop Nail Block Review

It removes the uneven texture of the nails by polishing the ridges on the nails. The result is very smooth nails without those lines / ridges which are so visible otherwise. What you have to do it rub this side on your nails till you see or rather not see the ridges. :tongue:

See the difference. The yellowness is reduced too. :yahoo:
3. Smooth Nail/ Adoucir

This smoothens out the nail and removes the residues effectively to give you clean and healthy nail. It is just like a conditioner that we use after the shampoo. The nail feels so smooth to touch after this step.

See that !!!!
4. Shine Nail/ Faire Briller

tbs buffer 06 The Body Shop Nail Block Review

This is the best part of this nail block. I just love the shine it gives to the nails. They look so naturally healthy after this. And if you are applying nail paint then you can actually feel the difference as how easy it has become to apply the nail paint and how easily the brush glides on your nail now.

Isn’t it amazing!!! :manicure:
Giving you a before and after picture in case you couldn’t pick up the difference. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Pros / Cons:

Now even after this if you are going ask me about the pros and cons, I have no word left. I just completely love this block. I couldn’t find a single flaw. Not even the price this time. (I mean TBS stuffs are usually expensive)

If I have to give my opinion, then every girl should have one block with her. It saves so much time and money. Just 2 minutes and your nails shine. And this block lasts a life time. One of my roomies had this for 4 yrs and she still uses the same block. So this comes out as a winner to me.

Rating: The hard task master that I am, still I will give 5 out of 5 to this one. :love:

Final verdict: get one for sure. All of you are going to love this soooooooo much. O:)

Good post Jyo :) O:) O:)
That said, make sure that you dont buff a lot. Its not good for nails as it basically nips off the top nail coat.
