To begin, Denny—who has over 20 years of experience in all things nail care — ‘stamped’ my nails by swiping through the tips to remove any edges and strengthen them. “It’s a gentler technique than filing and seals the edge of the nail so any further treatment you take will stay inside the nail,” says Denny.
Then it’s time to buff. “This step [a gentle buff of surface] is very important to prepare the nails to absorb the rest of the moisturizing ingredients,” explains the manicurist.During my appointment, I discovered that polishing was also essential “to remove dead cells. Exfoliate dead skin and leave your nails with a natural shine,” details Denny. Think of it like how you exfoliate your skin.
All these steps make the nails beautiful and smooth for the next step.
