What is the correct way to file your fingernails?

Natural nails are the thing du jour, but that doesn’t mean women should be abandoning their regularly scheduled manicures at salons or neglecting to ever buff, file, and shape. There could be a lot of reasons for this (no time, money), but it could also just be due to your technique. Getting your nails done regularly could make filing difficult; imagine having no idea how to file each nail to suit its shape better. If you’ve never really thought about how you were doing things before, having perfect-looking nails might seem like an impossible feat.

There are a few things to keep in mind when filing your fingernails. Usually, the best way to file them is in one direction – you can either file them towards your fingertip or away from it. Also, don’t forget to use a light touch, as you don’t want to damage your nails. Finally, make sure to use the correct type of file depending on the shape of your nails.

There are many correct ways to file your fingernails, but the most common and basic way is to file them in an oval shape. You should always start by filing your nails in one direction, from left to right. Be sure not to cut or snag your nails while you are filing them, as this can cause pain and damage to your nails. If you have trouble holding a nail file comfortably, you may want to try using a nail buffer instead. Buffers help to smooth out the surface of your nails and make them less likely to snag on things. Experiment with different filing and buffing techniques until you find what works best for you. Your nails will look neater and healthier when they are filed correctly!

Here’s an effective way to shape nails

The technique is used with all forms, from long to square ones. The natural nail plate gets the desired shape by filing its free edge in a certain direction that results in the form you want.

If you look at your nails right now, they are pretty much in one single plane, with slight deviations in some places where the curvatures along the length differ slightly.

When using this method on yourself, it’s recommended to file only tiny portions every time, so you would notice how far you can take it without damaging your nails or making them too weak for polishing afterward.

First, gently push back your cuticles with a wooden pusher or nail-cleaner tool. Then shape the nails by making square-cut corners on the tips with the help of a cuticle nipper. You may also use fingernail scissors and fingernail clippers for toenails (a larger version of these is usually used for toenails). Finally, to smooth out any rough edges, file each nail in one direction using slow, even strokes from side to side (or buff them lightly).
