My nails used to be thin and easily chipped, but this kit has completely changed that. The 4-way buffer leaves my nails smooth and shiny, and the file shapes them perfectly. The Hand & Cuticle Rescue Cream keeps my cuticles soft and hydrated, and I’ve noticed fewer hangnails. I love that the formula is gentle and made with natural ingredients, so I can care for my nails without worrying about harsh chemicals. It’s become a must-have in my weekly routine.

Great hydrating cream in a nice nail and cuticle kit!

This is a really nice hand, nail and cuticle restoration kit. Great kit with replacement buffer pads!
There is a 26ml jar of hand and cuticle cream that is simply wonderful. The cream is lightweight, absorbs quickly into skin leaving it feeling hydrated and soft. The scent is a fresh, floral and botanical scent that is light and refreshing. The lightweight cream is highly absorbable, so you only need to use a small to dab to moisturize your hands.
Kit includes jar of cream, nail buffer, buffer replacement pads and nail file. I really like that nail buffer pad replacements are included in the kit, much better option than replacing the entire buffer block.
There is a brochure with instructions, link to a video and a one week challenge to follow.
This kit would make a great gift item!

The cream smells so good.

I am always up for a challenge so when I read the challenge on the Onsen essential nail reboot kit I thought I would give it a go. It claims that you need one minute each day and 5 minutes once a week. So when you start you file your nails and buff them with the reboot buffer and then apply the cuticle and hand cream. These are the three steps to take once a week. They took me 5 minutes and 23 seconds, so pretty much on point with the challenge description. After that you use the cream twice a day and a week later you again go through all three steps. Overall this is super easy. I was not certain if the special file made a difference but the buffer was amazing. My nails looked like I applied a clear coat. Unfortunately that effect doesn’t last long as it goes away once the cream is applied. But it showed me that it is quite effective. The whole kit comes in a bigger box, at least bigger than needed and unfortunately there is no little pouch or so to keep your items together. So I put them back in the box after using as I don’t want things to get lost.
The cuticle and hand cream included in the kit smells amazing and is really lightweight, absorbed quickly and keeps hands and cuticles soft. Really if they would sell a perfume with this scent I would buy it in a heartbeat!
I found the instructions at times confusing. There is reference to a serum which was not included (and also not supposed to be included) so why call it out? Overall the box is beautifully designed, the products are aesthetically pleasing and work really well. A little work on the messaging and quality of the insert, which does not look as high end as the other items, would be great. Is the value for the money there? Yes in terms of product and packaging. You have something made in the USA as well. That will always cost more. I can see this brand becoming high end in the nail care business. It is fun to use as well. So please work on the insert to be on brand with the rest of the items. If I pay as much as the ask for this product I will not download a free ebook or order a $5 gift card.

Works great on my cuticles

I have super strong nails that grow quickly but I always have shaggy cuticles. Regular hand cream helps a bit but I never seem to get rid of them. I’ve used this a few times now & they are soooo much better. I keep it by the sink & try to remember to apply every few days…a little goes a long way.
The file & buffer are both good quality & work well.
Overall, I’m happy with this cuticle rescue. It’s currently priced at $39.95, which I’m ok with, as it’s working for me.

5 minutes to beautiful nails

This kit really does yield beautiful nails in just 5 minutes per week. The nail reboot buffer left my nails smooth and shiny and the hand cream leaves my hands feeling soft and moisturised.

The cream has a very mild, pleasant fragrance and it absorbs easily into the skin.

It really does shine!

I already have some of the Onsen cuticle cream which did wonders last spring for my thumb cuticle which is normally cracked.

Despite what it looks like in the photographs my nails are in better shape now than they used to be .

But as we are going into the winter season with super dry air in my apartment I was wondering whether those results would hold.

When this Onsen Secret Essential Nail Reboot Kit came up I selected it because I was so impressed with the cuticle cream. The set comes with a double sided emery board (noting the grit level of each) and a four sided block for smoothing and shining your nails.

The nail shining works amazingly. You can see in the photos that I have unimpressive nails but you can also see the difference shining makes compared to no shine. This allows me to have better looking nails without having to use polish which fits my busy lifestyle better.

The unique part about the kit is that it comes with two additional shining pads so that when the shine works out of the two sides of the block you can replace them and get extra use of it. I love that I don't have to buy a whole new one in order to keep the block working. It reduces waste and cost.

Learned some of the secrets.

The buffer is my favorite part. The cuticle cream is nice, but fortunately, cuticles are not a problem for me. I like the way I can buff past a small chip or ding to keep the nail strong. It's a little pricy, but I'm marking that off to education about how to buff properly and appreciate the appearance of my nails without polish.

Onsen Rescue Nail Kit

This is a really nice nail care set. It's perfect for gifting as it is all in one. There are a variety of products that can help upkeep the look and health of your nails. The nail buffing block works well with 4 different sides to make the nails look well maintained. The nail file also does its job well and as expected. The balm and oil help to nourish and moisturize wirh many soothing and healing ingredients. The value due to getting so many quality items in one set is excellent. I can recommend this as a set for someone who loves trying different beauty and self care products.

Good quality kit, effective at improving nail's natural look, and comes with extra pads

I find Onsen Secret's nail reboot kit is a good system for anyone looking to transition away from gel or acrylics back to natural nails. The centerpiece of this kit is the 4-sided buffer block. Unlike cheap drugstore buffers that lose their grit after two uses, Onsen's pads are pretty high-grade and effectively close the nail plate, creating a glass-like shine that lasts for quite a while without a drop of clear polish. This shine is particularly exciting because it doesn't chip or peel. The inclusion of replacement pads is appreciated, as it significantly extends the life of the kit and justifies the initial investment. The hand and cuticle rescue cream is thick and medicinal in its efficacy as it is rich in Japanese sea minerals, and it absorbs surprisingly fast without leaving a greasy film on my phone screen or keyboard. However, as an evaluator, I noticed that the so-called professional file is quite aggressive. It is useful for shaping thick nails or toenails, but if you have some very thin nails, you have to use an extremely light touch to avoid over-thinning. I do think it is a comprehensive rehab kit that delivers top-level aesthetics, but it does require a bit of patience to follow the multi-step buffering process correctly.

effective nail repair

This Onsen Secret brand Nail Reboot Set is a good value at $29.95. A year of gardening, fossil and geode hunting in our clay soil has been brutal on my hands/nails, making them dry and brittle. This is easy to use and worked well for me. The non-sticky cream has a light, pleasant scent. It's non-greasy and easily absorbed. Using this kit in conjunction with "No Crack Day Use Super Hand Cream" (also available on Amazon) and wearing cotton gloves at night has yielded great results. My fingernails are no longer weak and tearing off below the nail-bed. I no longer have painful hangnails, and my hands no longer feel like 80-grit sandpaper. YMMV

Excellent quality and feels really luxurious without being flashy

This nail care set is excellent quality and feels really luxurious without being flashy. The cream is super smooth and moisturizing, while the buffer, filer, and oil all work together to keep nails and hands looking healthy and polished. I’ve noticed a visible improvement in my nails even after a few uses, and the lotion works great on elbows and knees too. The kit is thoughtfully packaged, includes replacement buffer pads, and would make a perfect gift for anyone who uses their hands a lot. Worth every penny for the quality and convenience.

Great set for nails, cuticles, and hands too. High quality ingredients. Would make a perfect gift

This is a great set for your nails. Some of it can be obtained elsewhere, like the buffing nail file, but the quality really sets it apart. The cream is very smooth and highly moisturizing, it feels really great on the skin and you can tell it's doing its job. The whole set is easy to use together or each piece on an as needed basis. When used regularly it can really improve your nail health too, but even once in a while it makes your nails look great.

It's a great gift too. It's not some cheesy set relying on overly sweet scents and bright packaging. It looks very high end and relies on the actual quality products in it. This is the kind of gift that most women, and probably many men too, would love to get. The price is very reasonable for the quality of what's inside. Very highly recommended.

Nice set, suitable for gifting

This is a lovely set of items, and I've been very happy with each piece so far. The cream is silky smooth and works really well. My cuticles were shot after having my latest gels removed, and this cream was moisturizing and soothing. It's the perfect size to keep in my purse to use any time I'm out and about and need it.

The file and buffer block are great quality, and I really love that they include replacement pads for the buffer. I haven't had to use them yet but I've tucked them away for future use. I think it's priced fairly considering what you get in the set, and the quality of each piece. I'm now looking at the advanced set as a possible gift either for myself or for friends. This essential kit would also make a great gift for anyone who works with their hands a lot.

Parfait ensemble pour des ongles beaux et en santé

J'adore ce kit. Il permet d'embellir nos mains d'une façon simple et efficace : mes ongles sont littéralement brillants comme des perles à la fin de mon traitement.
Les limes sont de très belle qualité : chaque étape du traitement est d'ailleurs bien expliquée. On termine par la facette de la lime qui polit la surface de l'ongle, ce qui le rend magnifique. La crème soin des cuticules est naturelle et très rapidement absorbée, laissant le contour de l'ongle nourri - et prévient l'apparition de crevasses et/ou reculons.
Plusieurs autocollants de rechange pour les différentes surfaces de la lime de finition : ça dure longtemps !
Franchement, un bel ensemble que je recommande. Mes ongles sont plus beaux et plus forts.
Je suis extrêmement satisfaite !

Revived my poor neglected nails!

Better than any lotion I’ve used for restoring my nails. I’m hard on my nails and rarely care for them, so they often become cracked and dry. They’ve always been brittle, but this kit has really strengthened them. The cream has a subtle scent, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave a heavy or oily residue. I’m sensitive to lotions, but so far I’ve really enjoyed how soft and moisturized my nail beds feel.
The nail file is incredibly smooth and works much better than others I’ve tried, which usually leave my nails feeling rough like sandpaper. My nails normally snag on everything, but with this file they glide over most fabrics—something that truly makes my day easier.
I’m very grateful to have found such an effective way to bring life back to my poor neglected nails!

Really good kit, a bit pricey

Seems like a pretty decent kit. I picked this up for my wife and she’s been actively using it which is a great sign.

Everything is packaged well so every item is kept clean and ready to use. I also love how each piece is labeled so you know exactly what you’re using and how to use it.

The only downside would be in the price ($40) and size of the balm. It works well and absorbs into the skin without leaving any sort of residue. It is sized for use only on nails but is advertised for use on dry skin as well. I could forgive the size of the balm if the price was dropped down a bit.

Great Spa Nail Kit

Great spa nail kit! The kit comes with everything that you need to clean and protect your nails and cuticles. I really like the scent of this brand/product. The buffing pad comes with replacement stickers so you can get a longer use--which is a nice touch. This would make a great gift/stocking stuffer.

This nail kit is a must have! I'm trying to repair my nails and get them healthy and I've had this beside me since. The nail file, buffer and cream are awesome and all work so well and are amazing quality. I think this would be an awesome gift and I know for sure I will be buying more!!! I've seen an improvement since using this kit!

Great Cream and Buffer, but Price a Bit Steep

This is a great kit with nice quality products. The cuticle cream is definitely the star. It is excellent, rich but easy to absorb, nourishing and moisturizing, and in a nice little reusable tin. Easy to take with you or keep handy. It leaves my skin feeling really nice and does seem to improve my hand dryness over prolonged use too. It also just has a lovely experience in applying with the spa-like scent and ease of absorption.

The nail buffer block is also quite good. I don't use something like this often, but following their instructions, I was pretty amazed at how instantly my nails looked healthier and super shiny. I had actually just removed some false nails and so my natural nails were kind of damaged and brittle, but you'd never know after using the block. They looked wildly better super fast, so that is really nice. It also includes replacement pads for the buffer, which is great.

The nail file included is fine. It works nicely but I personally prefer to use glass files overall now. It is a nicer file than most of the basic ones you get at the drugstore or whatever, but I find glass files give me a better personal experience.

Ultimately, this is a good kit, though for the price point I wish it included a cuticle oil as well or else two pots of the hand cream or something. It just seems a bit steep for a nail file, buffer, and one pot of cream.

Absolutely wonderful for restoring damaged nails

Amazing! I love this kit. I have been playing around with false nails lately, and my natural nails are not in the greatest shape. In 10 minutes, I had them buffed to a perfect shine and silky smooth. Obviously I can't repair all of the damage in one day, but the kit was better than anything else I've tried to keep them looking good naturally. The lotion has a nice light scent. It is thick and a little goes a long way. I love that the buffer stick comes with refills. It shows that the company cares about producing a quality product. I am incredibly impressed with the quality, effectiveness, and cost of this kit and would recommend it to anyone who is struggling to make their natural nails look good again. The attached photo is after one use. I wish I had a before image to show how much better it was after just one treatment.

Set to pamper your hands

This set is undoubtedly of good quality, especially the cream, which leaves your hands and fingers well moisturized and very soft. It has a pleasant scent, spreads easily, and leaves no residue.

However, while the nail files are decent, I feel the set is a bit pricey for what it offers. If that’s not an issue for you, it’s a nice option to pamper your hands. That said, I’ve seen similar results with nail file sets that cost much less.

Spa day for bare nails

I bought this for a simple, polish-free refresh and it delivers. The kit has everything I actually use: a solid 120/180 file, a shine-happy buffer with extra pads, and a cuticle/hand cream that sinks in fast without grease. Ten minutes and my nails look like they’ve got a clear coat—smooth, glossy, and less prone to peeling. The cream’s light botanical scent is nice, and a pea-sized dab does all ten cuticles. If I’m nitpicking, the bundle could feel “fuller” with a tiny cuticle oil, but for weekly upkeep and post-gel rehab at home, this set makes rough nails look put-together fast.

Love love this set.

This repair set is amazing. I can't believe how quickly it's made by nails look better. I've got pictures for you you'll see the before after buffing and then after polishing with the buffer it has a Polish setting. And then the other one is the lotion creamy that they give you I wish it had more in it this one had a big bubble so a third of it was missing but that's okay this stuff goes a long ways and it works well on getting into your skin and just absorbs fairly quickly not greasy and just looks great. I highly recommend this.
