I am curious to know what everyone uses to finish their work.

I use my white block buffers, then finish with my Girlfriend!

I am sort of in a buffer transition right now. I was conflicted because I felt that I needed to find a buffer that was inexpensive enough for me to toss after every client, or I could immerse in my Marvicide without ruining it. So I had been searching and trying different things.

Well then I read Vicki Peters article in March Nailpro about sanitation, disinfection, sterilization. It was a great article.

So now I am washing the obvious junk off my files and buffers (sanitize) And then spraying disinfectant on my files and buffers and letting it sit for 10 mins (disinfect)
So I feel like my options are more open now as to what buffers I can use. I may go invest in a bunch of girlfriend buffers!

It is easy to get little too freaky about disinfection in the salon..you hear so many things. Vicki's article was a breath of fresh air.

Hi Christie

I use a 'spongie file' which is a cushioned buffer, instead of a white block. They are nice and soft and can be used with oil.

Then I use my EzFlow Snow Monkey chamois file to buff - if I am feeling energetic :? ... otherwise I use a chamois bit in my e-file.

8) Hi Christie-
I use Gator Boards(I think by elegant glass)They last along time but are kind of expensive. Otherwise I use those sponge board filesby DHS(I think they are in the Industry Source book on pg.156) and they are fairly inexpensive. They work really well and they are sanitizable. I rarely use my girlfriend buffers because most of my pink & whites like a coat of Creatives moonlite & roses for shimmer.
Congrats on your freaky status! :thumbsup:

I myself am in transition or it could be confusion on buffers. :huh: I sometimes use a white block or the green and purple sand turtles to finish. It just depends on my mood.

Thats what I use. They are a bit pricey but no grits on the nails, can be sanitized & plopped in my barbicide, & ultimately re-used. They can be bought in block or file form. I'm sweet on the file form of the buffer becuase I can get into the cuticle area so much better. Barb(NC) has found an inexpensive place to by "replicas" of the ones I use. When my stock is gone, I may contact her.

Happy Buffing!

I guess I'm going to have to give the girlfriends a try. I don't think I have seen them before. I will have to look closer.
