STUDY THE SHAPE
POINTS ABOUT NAILS
When you file your nails you should always study the shape of the nail itself, states an exchange. If it is oval file it to a slight natural point at the centre so that the oval shape is made more pronounced. Then when you apply your polish take it almost to the tip of the finger, so that just a.fine white line is left. If you have a round nail, file it to a very gradual point at the centre and then apply your polish '6ver the entire nail. When it is dry apply a second coat with one wide stroke of the brush down the centre of the nail only. This will give a slenderising appearance. If the nail is square-shaped, file more into the corners than is usually the case, and when you apply your polish allow a narrow strip on each side to remain unpolished. This will detract from the width of the nail, and if the moons and the curved tips are exaggerated the nail will then appear quite narrow. If you have beautiful, perfectlyshaped hands, you can draw attention to them. Otherwise make them as inconspicuous as possible, and this is best accomplished with the use of a natural polish. When you apply polish you must be ■quick, strong, bold strokes, from the cuticle to the tip. „
