Ugly to Pretty Nails | Fixing Slightly Clubbed Nails

Hi guys Today I'm going to be doing my cousin's nails, Jo has really nice nail beds but her nails are a little clubbed and she has some pitting on her thumb so I'm going to show you how to fix that and get a really nice modern almond shape. So we're going to look in-depth at her nails and I can't really use tips for this shape nail as it will just drop down and grow out to be a claw shape which some people like but not meeeee. I'm going to shape this form to fit Jo's nail and the great thing about the Kirsty Meakin forms is that there are small guidelines to follow so I want the form to fit snug under the free edge and I'm going to anchor it up a little so the form comes straight out of the sidewall. To make these nails straight, I'm going to build a little bridge between the natural apex and the form and then build the rest of the nail around it and pinch the nail. Do one nail at a time so the acrylic doesn't set too quickly and you can't pinch the nail at the end. Filing these nails is the same as any normal nail so I'm going to follow my normal routine, sidewalls, cuticle area, free edge, top of the nail, and then I'm going to finish off with that apex. I'll add a design to this nail in another video.
