How I apply tips for shmedium coffin/tapered square nails ✨ ~ tips on applying tips ~ • ALWAYS measure from sidewall to sidewall, choose a tip that fits sidewall to sidewall. It’s ok it it’s a little wider, you can trim/file the sides slimmer to fit the nail. I personally do NOT choose a tip that is a little smaller because when it grows out it will not hold up as well and look gapped, it won’t have a smooth transition around your natural nail free edge area • pinch corners of your nail tip after applying to free edge to help ensure tip is snug on • when comparing nails to measure length, measure from cuticle area to tip of the nail • when trimming desired shape, try to trim a tiny bit wider than your desired shape so you can file a sharper shape and fix any “crooked” nails #nails #cutenails #naillinspo #nailvideo #nailvids #nailvideos #nailtutorial #nailtutorials #beginnernailtech #nailreel #nailreels #reels #valentinobeautypure #charlottenailtech #charlottenails #704nails #huntersvillenails #ncnails #nailtips #nailtipsandtricks #beginnernailtech #nailstudent #nailsofig
