    There is a little kit I think its called Magic nails or something named really corny, but any who...It has a buffer with 2-4 different textured surfaces and it makes your nails SUPER shiny. All you have to do is rub on each side for around 30 secs. I bought mine from a little kiosk in the mall. I've seen them at beauty stores and walmart also. I bought mine for $20 but I think you can get them super cheap at walmart.

    I have bought 3 special files that buff your nails. The first one will file down the ridges. Then the next one smooths out the surface. The third one buffs and makes a very shiny finish. All without nail polish. Go to your local store and look for Sally Hanson products. Look for 3 files in a packet with printing on each one. One says "Clean", the next says "Condition" and the third says "Shine". It works great!

    You can buy one of those Nail buffers.

    They are a rectangle size in a shape of a block, 3 inches long and and 1 1/2 inches thick. They come in the color white or pink and they will leave your nails as if you had clear polish on I think even shinier.

    Any beauty supply store should sell them

    Good Luck !

    Use a nail buffer, it rubs your nails soft till they shine. It looks like a nail record yet commonly they have 4 factors. you will get them everywhere even walmart and dollar shops. It makes your nails fairly vivid! additionally you could try employing coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil or image voltaic Oil to make stronger your nails (buffing thins and weakens them in some circumstances).

    There are nail files that come with a buffing side which will shine your nails by smoothing them out.
