Review (5/5): Great for My Natural Nails
I was looking for a manicure device for natural nails. According to other reviewers, this doesn’t work well on acrylic or gel, which I’ve never used, so I thought I would give it a try on my natural nails. It was a good decision! It was also a good price, which was helpful since I have never used one and only heard of “nail drills” when I searched for emery boards. I couldn’t figure out who would want to drill their nails! It sounded like a torture device! It turned out to be easy and painless.
This is a great little manicure kit. I got it yesterday, charged it, and tried it today. It’s very easy to use. The instruction manual told me everything I needed to know to use it, including that it shuts off after two minutes, but you can simply turn it back on. For me, that’s not a problem. It is not faulty if it shuts off after two minutes. It’s supposed to do that. The device has two speeds, and it can reverse directions.
I was concerned about vibration, but this didn’t vibrate noticeably to me. I really dislike using an emery board or other manual file because it feels uncomfortable. Filing with this little machine was so much better. It even has a light that shines on the work area. I also used the fine sander to smooth my nails, and then polish them. It was very easy, and the shine is amazing.
It is rechargeable through USB. It comes with a cord that has a special end to plug into the manicure tool. The other end plugs into a USB wall charger which is not supplied. Again, for me that was not a problem as I have quite a few of those in the house.
The kit comes with 1 grinder to file nails, 2 coarse sandpaper disks, 2 fine nail file boards (look similar to sandpaper disks, but much finer), and 2 EVA polish rollers. It also has a small bag of 10 extra assorted sticker, of the types I just mentioned. I am not sure how long each one lasts or how to order more if I need them. I couldn’t find the information in the Amazon description or in the manual that came with the kit. I’ll keep looking.
I charged this in the bedroom overnight. When charging, the device has a light that flashes during charging, but stops flashing and remains on once charged. It’s pretty bright on a nightstand in a dark bedroom. I’ll probably charge it during the day! The first charge took about three hours.
I hope this continues working as well as it did on my first try. As of now, I highly recommend this MiroPure kit. If that changes for any reason, I will update this post.
