How to file your fingernails correctly
In the arsenal of manicure tools for every woman there is a nail file (and more often than one). But not all girls know how to cut their nails correctly . And this is important, because the wrong approach to filing the nail edge can lead to increased fragility of the nails, delamination, disruption of shape and other problems.
HOW TO SHAPE YOUR NAILS
The correct filing technique of natural nails will help to preserve the health and beauty of marigolds . But in addition to knowledge of technology, it is also necessary to stock up on high-quality tools, without which it is impossible to perform sawdust. How to file nails correctly and safely ? Use simple tips and tricks:
filing marigolds can only be dry;
the file should be appropriate for the type of nail abrasiveness and of the highest quality;
among the materials used for the production of good files - glass, ceramics, disposable files with spraying show themselves well;
file your nails in one direction only - movement in different directions can lead to a burr on the edge of the nail and its delamination.
Metal files and a violation of the filing direction can cause damage to the nail plates, which will take a long and difficult time to deal with. To process extended nails, purchase files with a higher abrasiveness (hardness).
HOW TO MAKE BEAUTIFUL NAILS
Even perfect knowledge of the sawdust technique will not lead to a high-quality result if you do not know what shape of the nails should eventually turn out. Pay attention to symmetry - the shape of all nails should be the same, as well as their length. Among the most fashionable solutions of recent seasons are such shapes as almond, square, oval. What's the best way to file your nails ? Find the shape that suits you best:
square nails have pronounced lines and angles;
the shape of a soft square attracts with the smoothness of geometric lines;
almond-shaped marigolds are distinguished by the presence of a pronounced apex at the tip;
oval nails attract with smooth lines.
When choosing the shape of nails, pay attention to the shape and length of the fingers, the outline of their ends, your usual activities and actions (sometimes elongated nails may interfere with or do not correspond to the rules established at the workplace).
How to make oval nails? This is the most natural and natural form for marigolds. Begin to move the file from the center, gradually move the tool to the edges of the nail. Round off the shape immediately while filing. Pay attention to the symmetry of the movements.
To make an almond shape, you should also adhere to the lines of symmetry. Draw the sawdust in the direction from the edges to the center. Try to create a pointed shape and when you achieve the shape you want, start filing both sides of the top with constantly increasing range of movements.
Stiletto or claw-shaped nails are another fashion trend. This form is chosen by bold and bright girls who are not afraid to attract attention. The sawdust technique is similar to creating almond-shaped nails. Move the file from the edges of the nail towards the center until you get a point at the end of the line, located at the same level as the center. Repeat the process on the other side, making sure the tip of the nail is right. Round off the sharp end and polish your nails.
To create square nails, do not file away the corners of the growing nail around the edges. Carefully go over them with a file, aligning the lines and achieving symmetry. File the upper edge of the nail from one corner of the future square to another, without changing direction. For a nice and comfortable shape, round the corners a little. A tighter rounding will result in a softer square shape.
Whatever shape you choose, it requires regular maintenance and correction, because the nail plates grow back and the achieved symmetry is broken, and the regrown edges look sloppy. Saw the entire surface of the edge of the nail, not just the overgrown areas. This will give you perfect shapes with complete symmetry. Over time, a manicure will require less and less effort, and the result will be more pleasing.
