Oval/Almond Nail Shape - Any Pointers?

[annasmum]

I am still struggling to produce a decent oval/almond shaped nail. Luckily it's not something my clients usually ask for as most of them want square or squoval. But I would really like to be able to do it. Is there a certain way you file the nail? Does anyone know of any tutorials? Any pointers would be really appreciated.

Quick tip: draw an imaginary line down the finger going through the centre of the base of the nail (use a file held down the finger if your imagination needs some help). Use this as the apex of the oval on the free edge. Then make the free edge either side of this apex a mirror image of the other.
