How to make your nails round

To avoid making mistakes when filing your nails in a round shape, check out an easy and practical step-by-step guide:

1. Draw a safety line: if you’re not too sure, start by drawing a round line at the end of the nail, at the length you want them to be after sanding;
2. File the sides of the nails: with a file, hit the corners of the nails following a diagonal line, from the middle to the ends, in order to create uniformity on the sides;
3. File the tips of the nails: with circular movements, file the tips of the nails calmly, until reaching the desired length and following the safety line;
4. File the top corners of the nails: with them already rounded, file the sides of the nails again, but this time starting at the root of the cuticle and removing the leftovers from the entire side length of the nail. This technique prevents nails from breaking as they grow.

See how simple it is? Plus, round nails are less prone to breakage, so they’re great for those who are clumsy or have weak nails.
