Ask any SATC fan — even if SJP rocks a manicure IRL, Carrie Bradshaw never wears nail polish. This was a conscious decision to help build Carries' "writer" character and bring in an attainable element to her life. Whether you're new to going sans polish or are looking for a way to enhance your natural nail, buffed nails might be your perfect match. When you buff your nails, they still look put together and even shiny! Keep reading to find out what you need to know about the process.
How To Buff Your Nails
- You can pick up a buffer from any drugstore or even on Amazon, it looks like a fancy nail file.
- Start off by deciding the length, shape and contour you would like your nails. Trim and then file them to your desired shape.
- Once your nail shape is where you want it, you’ll simply rotate the buffer (from large grit to small) through each of the four sides and work in a buffing motion along your nail bed.
- *Pro tip: Be sure not to over buff or else it can cause your nail to become thin and weak.
- Once your nail is shiny and smooth, simply apply some cuticle oil et voila! You’re ready to rock the hottest trend of the season – natural nails!
- If you still need a little extra shine, consider adding a treatment top coat or a sheer nude coat to finish.
