nail buffing

Manicure finishing technique

Nail buffing is the cosmetic practice of polishing fingernails or toenails with a fine abrasive surface to create a smooth, shiny finish without lacquer.

A buffing block or buffer has progressively finer grits for smoothing ridges and adding shine: A little nail buffing gives a natural, healthy look.
