Some girls spend hours getting their nails done and an equal amount of time worrying about not chipping them. That type of high maintenance beauty is the opposite of the breezy, natural attitude we’re going for.
Still, well cared for nails remain an important part of
looking polished. How else can you achieve beautiful nails that are low
maintenance? The magical word is buffer. This tool will rid your nails of
ridges and make them shine.
Choose a buffer with four sides at most – you don’t need
more than that. Use the rougher side to buff the nail in a circular motion.
Limit it to two or three circles at most and go through all ten nails. Once
you’re done with face one of the buffer, use a dry washcloth to clean of your
nails and inspect them. If you still see some pronounced ridges, go over them
again. If not, progress to face two and repeat the circular motion. Keep going
until the last step, which should feel rubbery and smooth. That guarantees that
your smooth nails turn very shiny, almost has if you had a coat of clear polish
on.
Since the rougher side of the buffer removes the top layer from your nails, use it only as needed, or on new growth near the base. To maintain the high levels of shine, buff with the smoother side as often as you like. You will never need to worry about a chipped manicure again!
