Do you want to know how to file the perfect almond nail shape for these perfect green and gold acrylic nails? Perfect, cause we have a step-by-step tutorial for you below:
- Ensure that your acrylic nails are securely applied and fully set. Gather a 100/180 grit acrylic nail file and a buffer block.
- Determine and achieve the desired length of your almond-shaped nails using nail clippers if necessary.
- Begin filing the sides of your nails in a gentle curve, narrowing them towards the tips to create a basic almond shape. Ensure symmetry as you work.
- Focus on the nail tips, filing both sides to create a subtle pointed shape. Avoid making the point overly sharp for a balanced look.
- Regularly compare both nails to maintain symmetry. Make adjustments as needed to ensure uniformity.
- Use a buffer block to smooth out rough edges, refining the overall shape for a polished finish.
- Step back and assess the overall almond shape. Make any final adjustments to ensure both nails are even and meet your desired shape.
- Cleanse hands and nails of any filing residue. Apply cuticle oil to moisturize cuticles and surrounding skin.
