How To Shape Fingernails

This is very trouble-free and quick to do (it could also be very fun!). Just follow the article below on how to shape fingernails:  

• Trim your nails. Having well trimmed nails can make shaping them a very easy and simple task. It is easier to shape shorter fingernails but if you are used to having long fingernails, and they go well with your lifestyle, then you can also shape long ones. The important thing is to make sure you are comfortable with the length of your nails and they fit perfectly in the life you live. Also, having short, trimmed nails helps avoid having dirt get stuck under them which can lead to sicknesses if you put them in your mouth or touch your eyes.

• What shape do you want? The more accepted shapes are rounded fingernails and square or rectangular shaped fingernails. Triangular shaped or other shaped finger nails are not advisable because they do not look as nice as the aforementioned shapes but if there are other shapes that you want then do whatever it is you want (be creative!). Of course, there are different fashionable pros and cons to each type of fingernail shape. Look them up online if you still need help deciding on what shape you want to use.

• Start making the shape. Once you know what you want your nails to look like, it is time to start shaping them. First of all, your fingernails should be in the proper length that you are comfortable with. Then, once you have the shape and length you want to work with, grab your nail file. After you are content with your nail’s length and you have cut it into the shape that you want, grab the file and start working on them. Your nail file will even out your fingernails. Put the finishing touches on your fingernails by smoothening out everything. You can start polishing your nails at this point.

• Some tips to remember. The nail cutter or clipper is the most essential tool you will need in shaping your fingernails. Once you have thought of the shape you want, grab the nail cutter and cut your nails into the appropriate length and shape you are comfortable with. After this, use the nail file and the polisher to put the finishing touches on your fingernails. You can buy these tools in most department stores and even hardware stores.
