Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With this kit, anyone can maintain fingernails and toenails in tiptop condition far less expensively than by visiting a manicurist. Inside the storage case is a power handle and six tools that snap onto it. There's a fine disc for shaping and filing small nails; a coarse disc for larger, thicker nails; a thin cone for filing rough edges and removing dry skin; a thick cone for larger, thicker nails; a polishing cone for smoothing edges and buffing nail surfaces; and a large sapphire cone for removing rough skin and calluses. For drying nail polish, the kit provides a dryer that turns on with gentle hand pressure. The power handle's cord coils for tangle-free convenience. The kit carries a two-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Results, April 9, 2002

This review is from: HoMedics MAN-300 2 Pack Manicure/Pedicure Kit with Nail Dryer (Health and Beauty)

I would never have bought this for myself; my mother-in-law got it for me for Christmas. I was skeptical and didn't even take it out of the packaging for a while. I don't have artificial nails and consider myself to be pretty low maintainence in the beauty department. Anyway, I decided that I should give it a whirl and I have to admit that it works very well. If you're just using it on your natural nails, it does shape, file, and buff effectively and only takes a few minutes. It is very easy to use and has 2 speeds so that you can file quickly or more slowly. I've always had okay nails - no major problems, but certainly nothing spectacular. After using this manicure kit, my nails are all equal in length/shaped the same and tend to break and chip much less. I haven't had a nail break for months and I haven't used any polish during that whole time. It also does a great job of pushing back your cuticle. If you're looking for an easy way to get better looking nails, give this kit a try! PS. It does need a longer cord - get a short extension to go with it!

I bought this nail care kit after trying and returning other brands. This one is just O.K. and unfortunately it's the best one I've tried. (email me about the other 5 I tried if you have questions)

1.GOOD FEATURES: It looks cool. The handle has two speeds. I love the light touch nail dryer (refer to picture).The two tiny tiny cones are fabulous for shaping up around your nail bed. The filing disks are easy to use, once you've had practice.The large filing/grinding cone is awesome for grinding away rough skin. Great price!

2.BAD FEATURES: It's noisy. The buffing head does not work. I got sick of the hassle of changing heads all the time. The case is hard to open.

So you probably want to know why I still think this one is a keeper. Well, I file my natural nails now manually because the kit is so slow, taking up to an hour, BUT...this is the only kit I tried that truly works on acrylic nails! Ever try those drug store nail kits and you have to file down the acrylic for hours? This machine does all that in seconds! No damage occurs from this kind of use. So save money from expensive manicures and do it yourself! The HoMedics nail spa will pay for itself in one use. Just please get an extention cord! You don't need to be sitting next to the wall like I did when I first used it.

I received this for a Christmas present and it is by far the best manicure set I've ever tried! Everyone keeps complaining on here about a short cord-- I don't know what they're talking about! It's certainly not a 25 footer or anything, but it's plenty long enough to use while sitting at any desk or table with an electric outlet under or near it. It's stretchable (the cord that is). The attachments are high quality, and work wonders. This set is so compact! I am absolutely in love with it. My one small complaint is that the nail-dryer doesn't speed drying time that much (although it does speed it up a bit, especially the top coat, which is most important anyway). Overall, I would highly recommend this product, and I think the other raters of this product are being too picky.
