What is NOT a benefit of buffing the fingernail?

Adds shine
Strengthens
Smooth plates
Polish is optional

The correct answer is: Strengthens

The answer "B. Strengthens" identifies a characteristic that is not a benefit of buffing the fingernail. Buffing primarily serves to enhance the appearance of the nails by adding shine, smoothing the nail plates, and providing a polished look. When the nails are buffed, the surface is polished to create a glossy finish, which can improve aesthetics significantly. Buffing works to even out the texture of the nail and can promote a healthier appearance, but it does not inherently strengthen the nails. Strengthening the nails typically involves other means, such as the use of specific hardening products or maintaining a healthy diet. Therefore, while buffing brings out the shine and smoothness of the nails, it does not contribute to their strength.
