Proper Nail Filing Technique

use of the proper nail filing technique is very important for maintaining your nails:

• health
• resilience
• strength

the proper technique reduces the stress placed on your nails as they are being shaped.

When shaping your nails or reducing them to proper length:

• do majority of filing / shaping of nails when old nail polish is still on nails
• ALWAYS FILE IN ONE DIRECTION
• do finer filing / finishing when old polish has been removed

DO NOT

• move the file back and forth - moving back and forth causes heat build-up, increasing stress which can cause the layers of your nail to seperate and damage or even thin the nail.
• do not use too coarse a grit
