Smooth Nails

Your nails are a good indicator of your health. They should be shiny, and smooth. With the right tools you can do your own manicure.

To begin, you want to remove any trace of old polish. Old polish can make your nails appear rough. You want to use polish remover that does not have acetone. Acetone leaves your nails looking dry and can even cause skin irritations, around your cuticles.

The next step is to rough your nails up with your buffer. Use a back and forth motion to do this. What this does is exfoliate the outer layer and rids any ridges on your nail surface. In the end your nail will have a smoother look.

Turn the buffer over and polish your nail, this will get rid of any left over dead skin, and leave a shiny look to your nail.

After buffing you will wash your hands and make sure to get your cuticles and the tops of your nails. This gives you a natural manicured look. Then apply some hand lotion and let dry.

After that you should apply a clear base coat. The clear coat will make your nails reflect more light. And will even look shinier. A clear coat even lets a color polish go on more smoothly.
