@moding_academy: The foundation of a flawless salon look: Mastering the Short Oval Shape. 💅✨ If your prep work isn't perfect, your builder gel overlay and structure won't be either. A common mistake when shaping short oval nails is filing the sidewalls unevenly, which completely ruins the balance and natural extension of the finger. Here is a breakdown of the precise, 3-step salon filing technique to get that seamless, dream-like curve every single time: 💡 Key Techniques to Remember: Establish the Length: Hold your nail file at a strict 90-degree angle to the free edge. Find the central axis of the nail first to lock in your guide point. Taper the Sides: Angle your file at 45 degrees, sweeping from the lower laterals gently toward the center. Keep your lower lateral lines crisp and clean—never over-file into the nail wall. Blend the Curve: Lighten your pressure and round off the corners for a seamless, perfectly balanced oval edge that elongates the nail bed beautifully. Grabbing a file?
