Any tips help for tipping a nail biter with really flat nails?

[user 17140]

Hello, i have a friend that bites her nails and has quite wide flat nails, she doesnt keep her nails on more than a week or so.I did them today but struggled with getting the tips to fit right and create a nice shape.They seemed to need held down at the sides. I used formation by creative as i didnt have any flater tips, could anyone recommend any tips or general advice on this thanks.

Try to cut "V" in your well.This will acomodate flat,wide nails.

Creative sell tips called eclipse, these are for flat and hard to fit nails,
or you could use your formation tips but use a size bigger than you need and file the sides of the tip so it is the right size again, this will make a formation tip fit a flatter nail hth

Thanks i will try that , she had actually grown them for me and had about 1mm free edge but it was a really short nail bed so it was below the edge of her finger. Would sculpting have been an option?

I agree... going up a size will allow for the flatter nailplate, you can customise the tips for a perfect fit
