Emery boards and files are most effective for shaping nails and smoothing nicks along the nail's edge. see product >

Tip 2 – Select Your Shape

Use the shape of your cuticles as a guide: if they're oval shaped, square-cut nails work well, but if your cuticles are more pointy, oval-shaped nails work better for you.

Long tapered nails compliment delicate hands with long fingers, while broader hands with short fingers and wider nail beds look best with squared-off nails.

Step 1: Prep+shape

Use our Nail Clippers to trim along nail line, following their natural shape. To help prevent splitting, file from sides to center in one direction only, never saw back and forth. Use coarse side to shape, fine side to smooth.

Step 2: Groom

Begin by softening cuticles in warm, soapy water. Push cuticles back first, then carefully trim excess and hangnails for a clean look.

Step 3: Smooth+treat

For smooth hands, exfoliate when skin is soft after soaking. Hold pumice through center opening and follow your skin’s natural contours, focusing on rough spots and calluses.

Step 4: Finish

Complete your manicure by buffing nails. Buff vigorously back and forth across nail until stains and ridges are removed. Continue buffing and finish to a natural, brilliant shine.
