Nail Care 101: Clip and File for a Modern Look

Get a modern look for your nails with our clip and file tips. Shape them round, square, or get creative. Use our top tip to file in one direction for a perfect finish.

Cleanse and exfoliate

We might have a multi-step process when it comes to cleansing our face, but how often do we show the same level of care to our hands?  Take your nail polish remover and remove any old polish. Use a gentle soap to wash away the dirt from the day. If you can get your hands on natural products, even better! Follow up by rubbing in an exfoliator, using slow circular movements. Try not to rub too hard to protect your sensitive skin. Rinse off any excess and dry.

Clip and file: The Keys to Killer Nails

Ready to give your nails a makeover? Start by clipping those bad boys down to your desired length. Don’t fret if they’re a little uneven – we’re all human, after all. Next up, grab your trusty nail file and get to work shaping them into your desired style. Whether you’re feeling round, square, or something totally out-of-the-box, let your imagination run wild. Pro tip: always file in one direction over the top and sides of your nails until you’re happy with the result. Need some inspo? Check out these nail art ideas for some serious #nailgoals.

Apply the base coat and moisturize

It’s tempting to skip the base coat when you’re doing your nails in a hurry, but it’s worth taking a minute to do this. It will nourish your nails and help make your nail polish last longer. One light coat is enough! Once you’ve let it dry, moisturize your hands all over. Pay extra attention to your cuticles, which have the most sensitive skin. The moisturizer also prevents your fresh nail polish from smudging, making it easier to apply. All of us girls will appreciate this one!

Finish with your favorite polish

Now here comes the fun part. Choose your polish (and nail art!) and start applying them to your clean and fresh nails. A double coat will lengthen the life of your nails. You might even like to go creative by mixing colors and shades. If you’re doing something more intricate, it’s better to use a manicure table to support and stabilize your hands. For inspiration, have a browse through the latest fashion magazines and watch YouTube tutorials. Pastels and metallics are definitely the big trends this season!
