Yeah. You file down the natural nail and round off the corners.

Yes, take the free edge right down or you will see it through the tip and I can asure you it will look nasty if the client is planning to have natural tips. However, it the client is going for a french look or varnish it may not be nesasary.

yep you file the free edge the same shape as inside the well of your tips, to get a good fit.

It is really confusing when you start so dont worry ,the questions you are asking today,was my question not so long ago,and will be some-one elses tomorrow.Yes you do file the free-edge(end) of the natural nail when you are going to apply a tip.if they have some length,.Try to shape it round-ish, it will then fit into the tip-if for example you had one long nail and then one broken nail the 2 tips you then applied,would be totally different .So it really is a good idea to file them all the same length and shape before you apply those tips.However if they are a nail biter thats a whole different story!!!!
