"Hi, my name is Theresa and I am here with Reyna. And just like our cars, our nails need to be buffed and shined. And so what do we use? We use the nail buffers. Here we have two types here. This one right here first, I'm going to use is more of stronger grit. And what it is going to do is going to take off the top layer of your nail. And being that Reyna's nail are so nice and shiny right now. I am not going to really demonstrate it on her. But if you would have grooves in your nails this is for some body who hasn't had a manicure in a long time. And really needs to smooth out that nail and get it ready for the manicure. You want to use this one back and forth and away. Very gently, just to take off the surface of the nail. You don't want to use it and saw it all down, just enough. The next one I have at Reyna, we are going to use it on Reyna is the buffing block. And this one is for some body who doesn't want to use a polish and wants a high shine, like this. It has four sides and usually it will tell you the steps on the side. Usually is the gray and the blue and the white. So you want to go ahead and do one. And you can do the same one in all of them that you want. All the first one, all ten the smoothing and all ten the shine. But the very end you buff it nice and like this. It will give you the glass look effect. Where you don't even need polish. A nice shine here. This the blocking block. If you feel like you need to do both you can. You can always freshen up. Get the course one and buff it. Get the top layer of your nail off and then go in with the your shiny one and shine shine shine. These are great to have. You can also use this on your feet for a pedicure. But again this is a three sided buffer and the buffing block. Great for a manicure. It's a must."
