Anonymous asked: do you buff your nails when you give yourself a manicure? I just started doing so, and I like the smoothness especially with sheer polish, but it does seem like it has weakened my nails which is sucky. Is there a good solution to get the best of both worlds?

Try a strengthening polish or base coat! Buffing is great because it provides a bit of a grit for polish to stick to, but if it’s wearing it down too much, try one of those Sally Hansen Hard As Nails polishes. Biotin and other similar supplements can help with the strength and growth of your nails, also.
