To shorten square nails, you start by clipping them straight across and then file to refine the shape.
According to Dunne, if your nails are long and you want to shorten them into a square shape, use clippers to cut straight across your nails. If your nails are already short, you can skip the clipping step and go straight to filing.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
- Clipping:
- Use nail clippers to cut your nails straight across. This creates the basic square shape.
- Filing (If Short):
- If your nails are already short, skip the clipping and proceed directly to filing. This refines the existing square shape.
