Hi NaiLovlies!
Last week I unfortunately suffered a couple of small corner breaks! This was no biggie as I siezed the opportunity to change the shape of all of my nails to teeny tiny kitty claws! This is a look I had thought about doing for a while so I jumped at the chance to give it a try.

| This picture shows how my nails looked on the second day of filing. My right hand remained unfiled until late the following day. |
I took my time when it came to shaping my nails. I kid you not when I say that because I took about three days in total to finish this!!! Instead of doing the whole thing in one sitting, I did a few nails each day until I was done. That way I didn't rush and make any mistakes. My nails are not extra long at the moment so any mistakes would have been difficult to rectify.
I used a selection of nail files, but mainly my Leighton Denny glass nail file so my nail plate was nicely sealed.
I always file my nails whilst they have either gel or nail polish on them. This is because a) my nails are protected by the extra strength of having a product on them whilst they are being filed and b) filing whilst wearing polish gives you a clearer view of what you nails will look like once they have been repainted.
The day after filing I soaked off my Gelish Spicy Fortune manicure and opted for a couple of coats of Vitagel Recovery ready for my next manicure using regular polish.
I absolutely love the way they turned out!

I thought maybe I was the only one that liked to shape my nails before I soak off my gel polishes. The extra strength really works wonders! But I don't have a great eye for symmetry, so I'm still pretty far away from attaining shapes as fabulous as yours.
ReplyDeleteOh wow!! I have to file them like that all the time otherwise they nd up wonky and weird looking. When it comes to symmetry and my nails I need all the help I can get ;)
DeleteThanks again for your help with getting Deutsch You Want Me Baby, I love that colour!!!! :)
This shape once again looks amazing on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It took a while getting there but it was worth it.
DeleteThe strangest thing is they feel so much stronger and are easier to type with then when my nails are square....Who knew??!!
