Buffing Your Nails....?

I got a nail buffing block for Christmas and i don't know how to use it! Help!! Do you paint your nails, then shape, then smooth, then buff, then shine?? Or do you do all that before you paint your nails??Buffing Your Nails....?
No, you buff your nails before hand. When you buff your nails, it makes them REALLY shiny. You're removing all the natural surface stains from them, resulting in a shiny appearance. You may not even want to paint them after you buff them.Buffing Your Nails....?
Steps


1)) Purchase a nail buffer at your local store. This will look either like an emery board with a few different colored panels, or it will be a foam block with different textures on the sides.


2)) File your nails as you normally would, rounded square or oval look best.


3)) Starting with the roughest grit side of the buffer, begin to buff your nails with a gentle, side-to-side motion. At first, just aim to smooth out major ridges.


4)) Move to the next roughest setting, and repeat with gentle side to side motion, again working to smooth out the nail.


5)) Repeat with the third side of the buffer .


6)) With the last (smoothest) part of the buffer, this is where you really get to work, polishing your nails till they look like you just put on clear nail polish. Voila!
The ideal way:


Trim


Shape


Buff


Smooth


Shine





THEN paint:


Basecoat


Polish (1-3 coats)


Topcoat





There is your formula for beautiful nails.
