How to make pointy nails

If you believe that in order to have beautiful oval-shaped nails you will necessarily have to resort to a beautician, get ready to change your mind. This nail style can be easily done at home as long as you have some manual practicality with files and enamels. First check the length of your nails and make sure they are at least 2cm. Eliminate cuticles: there is nothing worse than a scruffy hand with pointed nails! Apply an oil to soften the cuticles and make sure you push the cuticles inwards.
Now start giving the nail the desired shape. Start by filing the two outer sides of the nail, smoothing the corners gently without exaggerating. The goal is not to have pointed tips but rather an oval and rounded shape: it accentuates the presence of the tip in a gradual and delicate odo. It is very important to be precise and try to achieve symmetry on both sides of the nail. When you have the desired pointy shape, apply the polish of your choice and show off your super glamorous nails!
