Tips when your buffing your nails.

 I remember when I first used a nail buffer, it went all the wrong way... So here are some tips for when you buff your nails! Nail buffers usually come in 2/3 steps, or at most 8 steps. The main three are to remove ridges, smooth the nail, and to shine the nail. I don't always mind it having the shine, because I  put nail polish on after, but its nice to have..


  • When you get a buffer that has 7-8 steps, don't use the first steps to buff your nail bed, use it to shape. Those are too rough for your nail beds. And then use 3-4 to buff your nail beds and so on. 
  • When you see dust, stop and move on to the next step, you do NOT want to buff it so much that it thins your nail paper thin (trust me, I made this mistake ): ) and when you get to the part where you are smoothing/shining it, you can stop when you see the results.
  • Blow or brush the dust away before moving onto the next step. (unless there is no dust)
  • Buff your nails every month to get the ridges/splits off. 
                                                      BENEFITS

  • If you have yellow stained nails from not putting a basecoat before putting your nail color on, you can buff it off since its on the surface of the nail.
  • While you're buffing, it sort of massages your nail bed, this encourages nail growth!
  • You should end up with a really smooth finish, your nail polish should be easier to put on too! It should glide on the nail more easier.
