The style can also be worn on the nails, not all are the same and there are a wide variety of different shapes and sizes.
It is true that we rarely notice the shape of our nails, usually giving more importance to the color or its care, but not all are the same and there is a wide variety of different shapes and sizes. Would you know which one is the most suitable for you or the more resistant? if you don’t know, don’t worry, Monique Aguilar, the official manicurist of the North American nail polish firm ORLY, recommends the most demanded and striking ones according to our hands or our own personality, always emphasizing the importance of a good file to achieve the desired objective.
It is important to know that the nails should always be filed in the same direction and avoid doing it when they are wet, as they are softer. Never file from back to front and vice versa as this will make the nails chip more easily.
The filing and the shape that we give to the nails are the main basis to strengthen them and keep them always healthy.
If you ask yourself what is better, filing or cutting? The truth is that filing the nail is more recommended since with the cut we run the risk of it opening up in layers, in addition, with the filing it is easier to give the nail the desired shape
The filing and the shape that we give to the nails are the main basis to strengthen them and keep them always healthy, also helping to highlight the beauty of our hands. If you look at your fingers for a moment, you will be able to analyze the type of nail you have and intuit the shape that best suits you, although everything depends on taste and finally on how comfortable you feel.
Which shape suits you best?
If your hands are small and thin, what visually favors you the most are round, oval, or almond-shaped shapes. For this type of nail, a 180/240 grit file is recommended, a grain that is not aggressive and that will avoid weakening the nails, keeping an eye on the length between 3 or 5 millimeters, enough to give a beautiful and elegant shape. Similarly, for larger hands with wide or narrow nails, the most flattering shape is semi-square, round, or coffin.
How do files promote their health and growth?
“How you file and cut your nails can make or break them. To achieve healthy and strong nails, it is recommended to let them grow straight up to about a millimeter and a half on the sides, and file them into a semi-square or oval shape that follows the contour of the fingertip. Filing from the corner of the sides to the middle is recommended .”
In order not to look weird, little by little you can try to make a slight change in the filing and shape your hands so that they can look more stylized, elegant, and feminine.
