Review (1/5): Watch Video For What this Product is REALLY Like As I Share With You MY Experience With This Kit; Video Doesn't Lie
[[VIDEOID:3c4d30d8ebacec043d1033906e909174]] I was really excited and happy to buy this Beauty Bon 12 Piece Mani/Pedi set as I've been wanting a set exactly like this one for a long while! Please watch the video as it is absolutely necessary you SEE this 12 piece Beauty Bon Mani/Pedi set on video! I've done a lot of product review videos and this is probably the most important one I've done. If you are looking of a review where someone shares what they wished they would've known BEFORE they bought a really neat looking product, then you must watch this video review and read the written review!
I have wanted a mani/pedi set like this that I could pop in my purse because it seems I'm always breaking a nail and don't ever know exactly where my clippers/nail files are. I wouldn't be embarrassed to have this one in my purse, but as you see on the video there were some problems with the case which was the first warning sign that this set might not be all I would want it to be. I'm not a fan of the look of the case or that it has some noticeable problems. **The description says at the top that the box can be opened by the press of a button which is exactly how it works. But then the description contradicts itself and says the kit has a zipper closure. Untrue. If you look at other reviewers' photos in addition to the product photo, this case does NOT have a zipper. Warning flag.
As I show you in the video, these mani/pedi pieces are not only poor quality, more than one piece broke upon using it only once. I was so excited to have and use this set and equally disappointed when the set turned out to be so poor in quality. There is one item that I liked and will use: the biggest clipper- though the quality is still sub par. The smaller clipper broke after I clipped a few of my tiny toe nails. The third small clipper with an angled edge didn't work at all. The difference between these clippers and others I've owned is that they don't have resistance and therefore cannot cut the nail.
I show you how neither the nipper nor the scissors would cut through my skin. Useless! The nail file is so tiny that it is intended more for if you break a nail and need a nail file in a pinch to smooth a nail on the spot-not as a full mani/pedi set! The tweezers don't work as they can't grab anything. There are several tiny tools which I have used in the past to help with the in-grown toenails I have on my big toes or to clean out under my nails. But the last few are a mystery not only to me but most reviewers who commented on them as I think most were stumped. Some of the mystery pieces looked like what would be in my blemish remover kit. The description starts to list the pieces in this 12 piece set yet doesn't list them all. There is no information about the set and it could use a sheet included that lists he tools and describes what they are used for as obviously we customers don't know and would like to.
To put it mildly, I was disappointed that the cuticle nipper that is shown in the product photograph is NOT the nipper that comes with this set. I looked at all the reviewer photographs of their set up to date of this review it seems they also did not get the nipper that is in the photo either. I know the difference because I own a nipper that looks like the one in the photograph and it is much different than the one that came with my set. To add insult to injury- the one that came with my set is not working and broken as you can see in the video. I feel it is defrauding a customer to advertise a product in a photograph representing what the buyer will receive and then do not send exactly what is shown to the customer. And if they do change the product, they should alert the customer before shipping and give them an option to opt out. Look closely and you see tha the nipper in the photo has an extra metal piece on the right handle, but what we as customers have received looks nothing like that. The following product shows what the nipper in the photograph looks like; I expected something similar: [[ASIN:B017N5DMHM Podiatrist's Toenail Clippers for Thick and Ingrown Nails -- Surgical Grade Stainless Steel]].
My one star review is fair. The majority of the pieces in my set don't work. None of the pieces are the quality I would expect at this price level as I expect items to work when I buy them. I think that is a fair expectation.. There is one clipper that works, but the quality is relative to the rest. I don't feel the case is sturdy enough to last very long as it already has issues. For these and the other reasons you can see in the video and written reviews I would not recommend this product.
