Nail buffing

Nail buffer
For other uses, see buff.

Nail buffing is the act of polishing the nail using buffers of successively finer grit in order to make nails look more consistent and shiny.[1] A paste is used to fill ridges on nail surfaces.[2]

Buffing is also done prior to the application of nail products or artificial nails to help the product adhere to the nail. However, excessive buffing should be avoided[3]
