Product Information
Full details
The Dr. Dana Buffing Block is designed for individuals seeking a professional-grade nail care solution that delivers a natural, glass-like shine without the need for harsh chemicals. By utilizing a tri-grit system to gently exfoliate the nail plate and remove ridges, it is an ideal tool for those who prefer a healthy, polished look for their natural nails. Please note that users should avoid over-buffing to maintain the integrity of the nail plate, as excessive exfoliation can lead to thinning if performed too frequently.

FAQs
How often should I use the buffing block?
It is recommended to use the buffer once every two weeks to maintain the shine and health of your nails without over-exfoliating.
Can I use this on gel or acrylic nails?
No, this product is specifically designed for natural nails and may damage the surface of synthetic enhancements.
Are the replacement strips included?
Yes, the product comes with replacement grit for each of the three surfaces.
Does the shine wash off?
The shine is achieved by smoothing the nail surface mechanically, so it is not a coating and will not wash off, though it will fade as the nail grows.
How do I know which side to use?
The sides are typically labeled or distinguished by texture; always start with the roughest texture to remove ridges and finish with the smoothest to create the shine.
Troubleshooting
The grit strip is peeling off during use.
Ensure the surface of the block is clean and dry before applying the replacement strip. Firmly press the strip down for 10 seconds to activate the adhesive.
The nail feels thin after buffing.
Reduce the frequency of use and apply less pressure. Always limit buffing to once every two weeks to allow for natural nail plate growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the device for the first time, peel off the protective backing from the included grit strips and carefully align them with the corresponding sides of the buffer block. For hygiene, ensure the block is kept in a dry environment. When the grit becomes worn or loses its texture, simply peel it away and apply a fresh replacement strip. Clean the block itself with a dry cloth periodically to remove any accumulated nail dust; avoid submerging the block in water as this may affect the adhesive longevity of the grit strips.
