Proper Nail Filing Technique
use of the proper nail filing technique is very important for maintaining your nails:
- health
- resilience
- strength
the proper technique reduces the stress placed on your nails as they are being shaped.
When shaping your nails or reducing them to proper length:
- do majority of filing / shaping of nails when old nail polish is still on nails
- ALWAYS FILE IN ONE DIRECTION
- do finer filing / finishing when old polish has been removed
DO NOT
- move the file back and forth - moving back and forth causes heat build-up, increasing stress which can cause the layers of your nail to seperate and damage or even thin the nail.
- do not use too coarse a grit
