They sell kits in lots of places and actually found a set in my grocery store this week so I bought it. It's a 3-step process where 3 different surfaces are used. The end result looks like you've applied clear nail polish and the nails are all smooth and shiny. The results last about 8 wks, but I only get around to doing them a couple times a year.

Might as well add that they curve downward, too.

Could you tell me the name of the product you use and where you purchased it? I have one that has a file on one side and a buffer on the other and I use this pretty religiously. But it sounds like you have something far better.
