How to use the file and buffer – step by step

These steps are prep – preparing the natural nail – where the file and buffer do the work.

1. File length and shape – with a 220/240-grit file.The file is used in steps 1 and 3
2. Remove cuticles – push back with a cuticle pusher, trim excess cuticle if needed.
3. Roughen the surface – buff lightly with a 100-grit buffer, well into the sides and around the cuticle. Do not file off the nail layers.
4. Clean with cleaner – with a lint-free wipe, until the nail is matt and dry.
5. Apply primer – a thin layer, dries in a few seconds. Do not touch the nail afterwards.
6. Continue with your product – base coat, Gel Polish or reinforcement.
