- Removing the glossy layer: If you want to remove gel polish or nail polish with a glossy finish, the nail buff can be used to remove the top layer of polish before removing the manicure.

- Prepare your nails for nail polish application: The nail file can be used to prepare nails for polishing by removing nail polish remnants, smoothing the nail surface and creating a base for polish to last longer.

- Brilliance: A buff can give your nails a natural sheen without the use of nail polish. This can be especially useful if you have opted for a natural manicure or want to keep your nails in good condition between manicures.

How to use a manicure buff?


Here are a few steps to follow when using a manicure buff:

  • Step 1: Prepare your nails

Make sure your nails are clean and dry before starting the procedure. If there is any nail polish or oil residue on them, remove it with nail polish remover or acetone. Then shape your nails by gently pushing the cuticle away and giving your nails the desired shape.

  • Step 2: Clean the nail plate

Use a manicure brush or cotton pad dampened with water to thoroughly clean the nail plate of dust, dirt and skin debris. This will help create a smoother surface for the next steps.

  • Step 3: Polishing

Take a manicure buff and start polishing your nail plate with light circular motions. Be careful not to press too hard to avoid damaging your nails. Polish your nails until you achieve the desired level of gloss. Many manicure buffs have several different sides with varying degrees of coarseness, so you can use them alternately, starting with the coarser side and ending with the softer side to achieve the best results.

  • Step 4: Finishing

After polishing your nails with a manicure buff, you can apply a non-greasy hand cream or nail oil to moisturise and protect them. You can also apply nail polish or another decorative finish if you like.

It's important to remember that it's not advisable to use the manicure buff too often, as this can cause peeling and damage to your nails.

Buffing Nails: The Importance of this Nail Extension Tool

When it comes to nail extensions, there are a variety of tools that are needed to create the perfect extension. One such tool is the buff. Buffing nails may seem like an easy task, but it's a crucial step in the application of all nail extensions. Using this tool correctly is essential for giving the nails a smooth surface for the application of the extension.

The buff is typically a small, rectangular-shaped tool that can come in various grits, ranging from fine to coarse. It's designed to smooth out the surface of the natural nail, removing any ridges or bumps that may cause the extension to lift or peel. This process is called "dehydrating" the nail, as it removes the natural oils and moisture from the nail bed to create a better adhesion surface.

Buffing your nails before applying extensions has many benefits that may not be immediately apparent. First, it helps prevent the extension from lifting or peeling by creating a smooth, even surface for the adhesive to bond with the natural nail. Secondly, it removes any surface irregularities, lumps or bumps, which makes it easier to achieve the desired nail application. This makes the nail extension look more natural and aesthetically pleasing.

Buffing nails also helps to "rough up" the nail surface, which is essential for acrylic nail extensions. Acrylic nails need a rough surface to properly adhere to the natural nail, else they will lift, peel or slide off. Buffing before applying acrylic nails improves the adhesive's grip, and it creates the necessary roughness to allow the acrylic material to stick to the nail more easily.

Have you ever wondered why some nail extensions don't last as long, or why they may pop off with a slight touch or impact? The reason may be that you or the technician incorrectly buffed your nails, creating a surface that is unable to adhere to the extension fully. This is why buffing is essential for long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing nail extensions.

In conclusion, buffing your nails is one of the necessary steps to creating beautiful, long-lasting nail extensions. It's a simple process that can help create a smooth, even surface for the extension to adhere to, preventing lifting or peeling. Proper buffing with the appropriate grit can result in a beautiful extension that lasts for weeks without any issues. So remember, if you want to have picture-perfect nail extensions, don't forget to incorporate the buffing process into your nail application routine.
