Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Nail file or emery board.
-
Step 1
Trim your nails. If your nails are really odd shaped, over long, or difficult to work with trim them. This is the perfect time to decide if you want a rounded nail or a squared off one. Trim according to the shape you want.
-
Step 2
Take the roughest side of your file and gently file your nail at an angle. Work from the rightmost edge to the center. Never saw. Only make strokes toward the center.
-
Step 3
File your nail from the left edge to the center.
-
Step 4
If your file has a softer side then you will use that to gently file the edge of the nail down. This will remove the rough edges.
-
Step 5
If you have a lot of rough lines in your nail gently rub them out with the softest side of your file.
-
Step 6
Wash your hands before doing daily items or before painting your nails.
