 It smoothens any surface irregularities.

Tools / Materials

 Buffer - This should have a handle made of

plastic and a replaceable convex pad covered
with chamois or soft leather.

 Buffing Paste - This is the cream used to help

smooth out surface irregularities, and thereby
give the nail a shine. It contains abrasive
particles such as pumice, talc, or kaolin.

 Four-sided buffer - This is shaped like a thick

emery board and has four types of surface,
ranging from slightly abrasive to very smooth. It
can be used to bring the nail to a shine without
the need for buffing paste. It cannot be
effectively sterilized, however, and must
therefore be discarded after use on one client.

using smooth, firm, regular strokes.

 Use a nail brush to remove any dirt on the nails.

 Apply cuticle oil and massage it in each nail using your thumb.

 Wipe off the excess oil using a cotton ball.

Procedure
 Make sure that your client has clean and dry nails before applying any polish.

 Apply the base coat using clear enamel on each nail starting from the smallest finger
to the thumb.

 Use long slow strokes starting from the cuticle up to the tip of the nail.

 Make the first brushstroke in the center of the nail then to the left side then to the right
side.

 Overlap each brush stroke to spread the base coat evenly on the nail.

 Let it dry.

 Apply a thin layer of nail enamel following the same technique then let it dry.

 Follow with another thin coat of nail enamel. Let it dry.

 Wipe off the excess nail polish using orange sticks covered with cotton wool soaked
in nail polish remover on one end.

 Apply the top coat of clear enamel to protect the nail enamel from discoloration.
