Polish buffer block
Sanding buffer block
Nail cutter
Metal nail file
OR
anything similar

Before you start here is a little tip for you:
Trimming your nails shortly after a bath or shower makes them softer and will result in a more even cut.

First, you got to cut your nails to your desire length.

I'm done with mine. What about you?

Next use a sanding buffer block, the one with rough surface to buff all your nails and make it even.

See, now the split and crack are less visible.

Don't forget to shape your nail, square or curve whichever you like ;)

As always, mine are square

Then use a polish buffer block and buff your nail.
Polish buffer block come in various design and texture, get the one that suit your use the most.

After polish I'm all done. Looks better right? My nail is like almost flawless.

That's not all!

(Optional) Pamper yourself with foot scrub to get rid of dead skin.
After scrub and some wash, my feet look brighter and nail look softer
