There’s a valid concern currently in the industry that if you shape nails almond you are going to create onycholysis, or nail plate lifting, at the sidewalls. Well as they say, knowledge is power. And if you know how to safely create an almond nail shape… NO. Almond nails do not create onycholysis… Improper technique does.
I’ve been wearing almond nails for 10 years, and I can tell you that an almond shape, IS a technical shape. It takes being precise, and that includes using precise tools also.
Damaging nail plates while trying to achieve ANY nail shape is very possible when we want to get to that final shape by the grease of our elbows but especially the WRONG file/tool.
In this video I will teach you how to safely shape nails almond with the right tools and the right technique.
When you’re ready hit “play”.
