Shapes, buffs & shines natural nails in four easy steps - simply follow the numbers. Nail buffing smoothes ridges & removes nail surface irregularities, leaving nails with an amazing shine!INSTRUCTIONSPrior to use, ensure your nails are clean, dry & free from polish. 1. Green – Shape nails using emery. File from the side of the nails to the centre in even strokes. Always file in one direction, never back & forth. 2. Purple – Use in a light circular motion to smooth away ridges & stains. Do not aggressively buff thin nails. 3. White – Buff the nail in a back-and-forth motion to create a satin finish. 4. Grey – Buff with rapid sideward strokes to achieve a super natural shine.USAGE ADVICETo maintain a fabulous shine, use: Purple – Monthly; White – Weekly; Grey – Daily. Buff nails before applying nail enamel – the polish adheres to the nail better when smooth.To extend the life of your Manicare buffer, wipe over with a damp cloth to clean. Allow to dry naturally.
