To file your nails square round, file off the sharp corners of a square-shaped nail to create a softer, rounded edge.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Start with a Square Shape: Ensure your nails are initially filed into a square shape. This means the sides are straight and the tip is filed straight across.
-
Identify the Corners: Notice the sharp corners of the square shape. These are the points you will soften.
-
File the Corners: Using a nail file, gently file away the sharp edges of each corner. Use short, controlled strokes to avoid over-filing. The goal is to round off the corner, not to create a completely round nail.
-
Check for Symmetry: After filing each corner, compare them to ensure they are evenly rounded. Make small adjustments as needed to achieve a symmetrical square round shape.
Essentially, you take a square shape and "soften" the edges by removing the sharpness of the corners with a file.
