How to File Nails of Different Shapes?

Each of us has nails. Too long nails are easy to accumulate dust and affect beauty and health. So we need to trim our nails regularly. Today we'll talk about how to trim nails of different shapes.

Oval

The oval is favored by women for its elegance. Oval is suitable for all kinds of wide and narrow nail beds. The part growing out of the nail bed can create a beautiful fingertip.

1. Grind horizontally from both sides to the middle until both sides are symmetrical;

2. Continue to polish from the edge to the center to make the outer edge of the nail oval.

Personal experience

Oval is the shape I often trim. It doesn't pick nail beds. All nail beds can be trimmed into ellipses. The trimmed nails look natural and beautiful as if they grow naturally.

Squoval

Squoval nails have both the elegance of oval nails and the ability of square nails. Squoval

nails are the most popular nail shapes. This nail shape is suitable for most people and is an ideal nail shape.

How to file squoval nails?

1. First, polish the square nail. The specific operation is to grind from both sides to the middle, and grind 90 degrees right angles on both sides;

2. Round the right angles on both sides until the outer edge of the nail is oval. The characteristic of square and round nails is that obvious straight lines can still be seen on both sides, so don't grind the edges and corners too smoothly.

Personal experience

Squoval nails are also my favorite shapes to trim, but like square nails, they will become inverted trapezoids after some time, so they should be trimmed often.

Almond 

Avant-garde almond nails are most suitable for water nail or art nail enhancement and are very popular in Central Europe and Asia. Stars also love to try sharp gorgeous fingertips. People like Fergie and Lady Gaga love this shape. But almond nails are not suitable for everyone. It will make nails more slender. Therefore, if the natural nail shape is too large or too small, or the fingers are thicker, they are not suitable for this nail shape.
