Onsen Secret Nail Care Kit - Japanese Nail Buffer and Shine Kit - Strengthening & Shining - Spa-Quality Manicure - Organic Ingredients - Long-Lasting Shine - Easy & Safe - w/Cuticle Care Serum - 1pk

I read a ton of reviews including the negative ones. I was on the fence but my nails and cuticles were such a mess, I finally ordered the kit. I had been trying a variety of products before this. None really worked. I was thinking about going to get my artificial nails back on after growing them out during the pandemic, but I tried this first. It's been 10 days. Before I get into my hands, let me tell you about my toenails. I've used the nail file and buffer on them and they look amazing after one use. I've never seen them look this great. The cuticles are smooth and it looks like I spend a lot of time taking care of them. The edges are so smooth, nothing like you get at the nail salon.Let me address the cuticle cream. It does not leave your hands feeling sticky. It dries and feels like you have the nail bed to skin "sealed". I have no desire to pick at them. It seems to seal the skin so that it won't peel giving me the urge to pull the peel off. That is a big plus for me. I would buy this just to get the cuticle cream. It's lightweight so not really a cream--more like a light weight lotion that heals.The nail file quickly gets your nails in shape. Much faster than the files I use. It also worked very well on my toenails. Quick.The buffer also works quickly. Follow the instructions on how many swipes to make.This system for the price is the best I can find. You would have to really hunt everywhere to put individual items together that were as good as this system--and it would cost much more.The bonus for me besides the healing cuticle cream is now I can do my toenails in a matter of minutes and they've never looked better. Love this system.

For many years, I've kept my fingernails trimmed very short for convenience and practicality for typing, etc. With that, I haven't paid much attention to whether or not they look good. For one thing, I don't like to wear nail polish - it's messy, doesn't last, and isn't good for nail health. I've been a little jealous of my friends' nails, but a lot of them wear acrylics and I didn't want to do that, either. So, I decided to try buffing, and after some research, I ordered the Onsen Secret Japanese Nail Buffer and Shine Kit. It came yesterday, and I used it immediately: file, cuticle cream, and buffer. What a difference! It was so easy to use. The file was great - didn't leave my nails rough at all. The cuticle cream (just a tiny drop on each nailbed) was soothing and absorbed beautifully. And the buffer - WOW!!! I used it as directed, first the silver side, then the green, and then a final polishing buff with the white side. I can't believe the difference in the appearance of my nails! In less than ten minutes, they went from ridged and dull to smooth and glowing with a nice sheen! At age 72, I've finally found a nail care regimen that I not only can live with, but which really shows good results. Yes, I'll still keep my nails short, but now they can look very nice anyway. THANK YOU FOR THIS PRODUCT! I will use it faithfully from here on out. (I wish I had taken a "before" picture of my nails so you could really see the difference this product has made with just ONE use!)

It does a great job on my nails, they look real nice and are stronger . Will definitely keep using the Onsen nail and cuticle serum.

This set did look larger on Amazon site. There is a yellow/brown tint to the items that makes me wonder when they were produced. I really bought the whole set so I could get a nice shine without polish, but it is a soft satin like finish. I have only used the cream for a couple of days, and I must tell you that my cubicles look ten times better already!!! I didn't get the oil, which I thought was included. I feel the price is a bit high which could bear on whether I repeat buy, but my cubicles really are starting to look so nice!

Nice set with directions. My nails have been a wreck, and the cream and other supplies are helping! My nails look much better, especially my cuticles.

Amazing my nails are so happy!

My nails are shining and cuticles look healthy after a week of using the product daily.

This product works well, but it is not cheap, and I don't know if the cream's formulation is proprietary. The buffer and the file can be purchased for much less, so theoretically, the cost is in the cream, and it's hard to tell if there is something special about it. It seems similar to other nail strengtheners/cuticle creams I have used. I have only been using it a week, so maybe its effect will be greater over the long term, but that remains to be seen.
