"Hi, I'm Megan with Elements University on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment I'll be showing you how to file the nails properly. You take your nail, you take your file and from the corner you file in. You never want to saw at the nail, because that can cause small tears in the nails that turn into breaks, which turns into break their nails and split. From the other side you file in and you keep filing in that back and forth motion until you have the length and shape that you desire. Be sure to watch our next segment on buffing the nails."
