How to shape short nails?

By: Maryton

You can shape short nails as you would long nails, with slight differences. Today, the nail supply expert Maryton will tell you how to file short nails. Just keep reading!

Here are steps for filing short nails:

1. You don’t need to trim the nails if they’re already short, but if they’re uneven, trim them all to about the same length.

2. Start at the outside corner and file towards the middle, then do the opposite corner.

3. Don’t file back and forth.

4. With short nails, it is especially important to take it easy because if they are too short, it can be painful.

What you should not do

When filing your nails, you shouldn’t move the file back and forth over the nail in a sawing motion. This can fray the nail and even damage the nail bed and cuticle. More than this, the entire nail may move (like a loose tooth) if you file this way.

Hoping that this article has pleased you and will give you ideas! In addition, I also advise you to invest in some professional manicure kits to care for your nails!
