Revlon Manicure Essentials Kit Review, Photos

Hey first of all HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you…sorry for not posting from the last 2-3 days..I was unwell….yes unwell on new year 🙁
As I had said before my cousin from US got me the Bath and Body Works JCB Body Lotion and this Revlon manicure kit.

What the Company claims:  Compact kit for perfect manicures on-the-go. Includes four expert tools.
Everything you need for a professional manicure in an easily portable kit. Includes four expert tools for the perfect manicure–Dual–ended Cuticle Trimmer, Curved Blade Nail Clip, Compact Emeryl file for flawless shaping and a Buffer for a brilliant, natural shine. Deluxe nylon carrying case protects tools for easy transport.

  •  Dual–ended Cuticle Trimmer pushes back cuticles and keeps them neat.
  •  Nail Clip with curved blades safely trims nails.
  •  Compact Emeryl file shapes and smoothes nails quickly.
  •  Buffer creates a high gloss shine. Gentle enough to use everyday. 

Over 75 years of superior quality.Precision crafted, fully inspected to ensure exceptional performance.

It has lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects (but sadly valid only in US and Canada. 🙁 )

How to use:

  • First soak hands in warm, soapy water to prepare. 
  • To trim nails: Clip from each side of the nail towards the center. Do not cut below the nail line. 
  • To shape nails: Start with Emeryl file’s shaping side to shape nails. Follow with finishing side to smooth and shape. Always file in one direction to prevent splitting. 
  • To trim cuticles: Push cuticles back with contoured end of cuticle trimmer, then glide metal end (with V–tip facing up) along cuticle edge.
  • To buff nails: Remove all nail enamel before buffing. With the white surface, buff vigorously across the nail until stains and ridges are removed. Using the grey side, finish nails to a brilliant shine.

MRP: I am not aware as its a gift..but at international.drugstore.com it says Rs 260/-

We all know the uses of a nail clipper and filer as we are using it from a long time. Let me share with you the uses of a cuticle trimmer and buffer.

Cuticle is the protective seal between the nail plate and the skin. However, some people tend to have thick and rough cuticles. The cuticle skin gets thicker and also grows in a upward direction. In such cases, a cuticle trimmer can be used. However avoid cutting excessive cuticle skin as it can leave your nail at risk of infection.A cuticle trimmer is a nail care product which is used to trim rough, thick cuticles and hangnails. Thick cuticles give an unpleasant look; hangnails around the nails can catch clothes and cause a lot of pain. To solve this problem, you can get yourself a cuticle trimmer. However, a cuticle trimmer should be used occasionally as excessive trimming of cuticles can lead to infection. It also helps making the nails appear longer..especially for those who have short nail beds. But do not forget to soften the cuticles using oil or moisturiser before trimming them.

Buffer on the other hand gives a nice healthy sheen to the nails.A nail buffer is what is used to smooth out the nails and remove any pits and ridges – hence it buffs them up.

Coming to the kit..

Pros:

1. Its economical at this price.
2. Has the 4 necessary tools required the most,
3. Quality of the tools is damn good.
4. Comes with a pouch with separate holders.
5. Easy to carry around anywhere as the pouch would snugly fit in.

Cons:

1. I did not find any except the availability issue as I have not seen this in India..but if you happen to lay your hands on this…do get it…coz it would stay a long time with you..

Rating:

Quality- 5/5
Value for money-5/5
Availability-2/5

Overall rating-4.5/5

Would I buy it again: I would need to…but as a gift I would surely.

Have you tried this kit ? Which other brand have you used ?
