Quick Tips: Know when not to buff your nails

Some people are under the misconception that buffing your nails makes them a lot healthier. I don't know if that's true (my opinion is that it's not), and they should know the real purpose.

Buffing your nails is for making them smooth and shiny, not healthy. If you have thick, healthy nails and you want them to be smoother ans shinier, go ahead and buff! But never more than once every two weeks.
And don't apply nail polish right after buffing, it won't adhere as well.
Bu if you have thin nails, like me, buffing probably isn't the best option. If you have nails that are prone to breaking, splitting, and pealing, I would recommend not buffing them at all. Buffing strips away fine layers of the nail, making them thinner--and more likely to break.

SO, if you have thin nails and want to make them nice and shiny, just use a shiny neutral shade! =)
