Learn all about nails with Christina Jones
Looking from behind is the best way to ensure that your nails are not filed unevenly. Your nail bed does not always give a true guide to follow. Another helpful tip is to hold matching fingers from each hand together, nail to nail (pointing down), matching them up at the cuticles then checking at the free edge to see if their lengths match. If you would like to wear your nails more rounded, be very careful not to file away the sides of your nail - that is where the strength lies. They will be very fragile without the sides. The nails that look best rounded have longer nail beds and are more curved from side to side. A wider flatter nail does much better if left in a “squoval” shape.
The Nail Tech Secrets that you see today was my first foray into writing about beauty online. The site originated in January 2005 as a good old handwritten html site, taken from the manuscripts of a book I was writing while staying at home taking care of my seriously ill husband. A few months later I put it on blog software, then in December 2005, my romance with WordPress began, and the result is the site you see now. I ebb and flow in my tending of NTS, but if you want to learn to do manicures and pedicures yourself, explore the categories and you will find lots of in depth information. And I hope you will subscribe to my email updates and get the latest and greatest nail news, tips and how to's from Nail Tech Secrets!
