Abstract

A simple three-step process conditions and polishes fingernails and toenails. First, the nail is smoothed by a simple and delicate abrasion of the nail surface, to remove all length-wise, surface ridges. Second, a conditioning cream, fortified with protein, is spread over the smooth surface of the nail. The conditioning cream penetrates, protects, and beautifies the nail. Third, the creamed nail is buffed.
