Short Nails

  1. Shape Nails

    • Trim nails to desired length with a nipper, scissors or nail clip. Rounded or Squoval nails looks best on short nails.
    • Shape and smooth nail edges with a nail board or file.
    • File nails in one direction from each side of the nail toward the center - this helps prevent nails from splitting.
