To make your nails appear straight, trim and file them into a square shape.
Here's how to achieve straight nails:
-
Trim Straight Across: Use nail clippers to cut your nails straight across the top. Avoid rounding the edges at this initial stage.
-
File the Edges: Use a nail file to gently smooth the sharp corners and edges created by clipping. File in one direction to prevent weakening the nail. You can slightly soften the corners for a more comfortable feel, but maintain the overall straight appearance.
-
Refine the Shape: Examine your nails from different angles to ensure they appear straight and even. Make small adjustments with the file as needed.
-
Consider Nail Health: Keep your nails healthy and strong by moisturizing them regularly with cuticle oil or lotion. Healthy nails are easier to shape and maintain.
-
Regular Maintenance: Trimming and filing your nails regularly will help maintain the straight shape.
