File nails in an almond shape – instructions

There are two ways tothe popular nail shapeavailable - either at your home or in the nail salon. But since not every woman has the time to have her nails done, follow our tips for excellent results!

  • Since the nails become shorter and shorter as you file, it is initially necessary to have slightly longer nails. The minimum length we would recommend is around 2-3 cm.
  • Start by marking the center point of the tip of your nails with a small dot of nail polish. This makes it much easier to achieve consistent shape.
  • Always file in one direction to avoid possible breakages.
  • Try moving the file in a slightly curved manner. File toward the center of the nails in a circular motion.
  • Then round off the tip as much as you want.

Almond nails or stilettos?

You want long and extravagant fingernails, but you can't decide between themStiletto or almond shapedecide? Stiletto nails have an extremely tapered shape compared to the more feminine and softer tip of almond-shaped nails. Additionally, Almond Nails are more wearable and more suitable for everyday wear.

The nail trend looks so chic

Fingernails in the Gothic Almond Style are the extreme variant of the classic almond shape. The tip of the nail is just as long as the natural nail bed itself. They are very eye-catching and are best suited for a special occasion.

Russian Almond – extremely long fingernails for skilled women’s hands

The Russian Almond nail shape is a further step up from the Gothic Almond. Here the nails are extremely lengthened - the nail tip is more than 100% longer than the natural nail bed. They look almost like stilettos, but because the tip of the nail is slightly rounded, they are generally referred to as Russian Almond Nails. These are hardly suitable for everyday use and are mainly seen at various championships for nail designers.
