Nail polish is a lacquer that is used for decoration usually cosmetically, but also as protection for the nails. The act of simply polishing the nails without applying a chemical layer afterwards is called nail buffing. Which can be very healthy, and pretty. :) brooookie Thu, 08 May 2008 10:52:02 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/nail_polish_59699 339301
