O.K. Here's what's wrong with French polish. It's not as smooth and shiny as glass (usually). It is so thin that it gets scratched just by looking at it. It degrades where it comes in repeated contact with skin and perspiration. It is labor-intensive to apply. Now here's what's right with French polish. It has a warm, non-industrial appearance that is compatible with, and enhances, the organic nature of the underlying wood.

Although traditional wisdom has it that French polish is more conducive to sound, hence is better, the issue really isn't that clear. More to the point, the question is how hard and thick the finish is, especially on the top. Although thick, hard finishes will dampen sound, lacquer may be applied just as thinly as French polish, and if properly applied seems to work just as well. There are other considerations as well that should be kept in mind.

A buff and polish is a procedure that is often done between fills.

A polish change is a nice treat to yourself between appointments. Depending on your lifestyle, polish can become "dull" or begin to wear off at the tips of your enhancements.

This service is especially popular during the holiday season for those special parties or family gatherings. And of course you can always add nail art with your polish change! Top of page

There seems to be three camps on this subject. One thought is to use a wax sealer, such as Eagle 1 ("waxes as you dry”).

Avoid exposing vulcanite stems to direct sunlight whenever possible, and wipe off your stems after each use.

If the oxidation is too severe for this treatment, jeweler's rouge or an automobile rubbing compound will often do the trick.
