WFMW - Backwards

Shannon over at Rocks in My Dryer is hosting her Works-For- Me-Wednesday carnival. I usually don't participate, but since it's a back wards day and I have actually had this on my mind for awhile, I thought I would play.

Here is my problem: Fingernails.

I keep my fingernails short, but I like them to look shiny. My problem is that I hate the feeling of nail polish on my nails (not to mention that polish flakes off fast with all the time my hands spend in soapy water!). I try to buff them with a 4-way buffer, but that process is so time consuming. Do you know of any product that can assist in shiny, tidy looking, fingernails without having to spend half a day buffing?
