Yes ... I do.
FIRST and most important thing it to invest in tips that blend quickly and are completely clear when done. CND Velocity tips are small well tips. They are the fastest and the best .. fit every type of nail shape with rare exceptions.
THEN the next trick is to start your filing at the FREE EDGE not on the well.
Thin the free edge and then move toward the well and concentrate over the well of the tip.
Work evenly from side to side and when you see it coming clear, slow down and go to a finer grit on the file and work methodically until only the barest minimum is left where the well joins the nail ... only then do you work carefully across the last bit at the join with the edge of the file. This last bit will disappear in seconds and you will have never even gone near the natural nail; there should not even be a scratch.
Should take no more than about 10 minutes!! HTH
