Trickys tips help

[Tricky]

Hi i am finding my tips are flairing out at the free edge slightly, i am wanting to bring them in but i am finding i am knocking out the under arch by doing so. Do any of you nail geeks have any tips in helping me with this problem

thanks xxxx

Hi hun only me lol,

Aslong as your tips aren't too big for the nail, i would try other tips, or pinching to bring them in. what tips do you use xx

Im not sure this will be any help, but my educator taught me to hold the file straight up to the side of the nail when filing so you are just taking away sides no under arch, do I make sense, so that your file is not at all angled, dead straight butting it up against the side of the tip?!

I was taking the under arch away for ages until she showed me this on skillbuilding!!

I do pinch sometimes, but now Ive learnt to do this I dont need to often!

Not sure Ive described myself well enough! And I hope Ive helped a tad! xxx

I always file off the little ears that hang over the edge before I apply the tip (or have I got the wrong end of the stick???) I don't file the sides, just the bits that hang over where the contact area is.

 

[angel fingers]

are you tapering the tip slightly to allow room for the product once its applied ? this usually helps prevent flaring.

i do the same thing as hayls.i keep my file straight up on the side of the tip.thats always been enough for me.if they seem to flare out still once you have applied your product then it could be that there to much product in that area rather than the tips flaring out if that makes sense.hth
