File & shape
Nail prep should be your top priority to give your nails durability. Remove any existing polish and cut nails with scissors. Then, using Crystal Nail Files,, file to your desired shape. ‘Avoid filing back and forth as you might overfile,’ explains Metta Francis, Barry M nail expert. ‘If you’re shaping nails in a square shape, ensure you soften the edges into a curve – if you leave them straight they're likely to catch and tear.’
