Shaping nail tips involves refining their form to achieve a desired aesthetic. Here's how you can do it:
- First, find the center of the nail tip. This will serve as your guideline for symmetrical shaping.
- Then, shape both sides by filing into a slight taper towards the nail tip. Ensure you are filing in one direction to avoid weakening the nail tip.
- Next, begin shaping the tip by narrowing the free edge to create a peak. This creates the desired shape, be it square, round, oval, almond, or stiletto.
Essentially, you’re refining the overall form through gradual filing and shaping!
