I am a certified esthetician only out of school for two years, but figured it would be a nice idea to start a blog about my experiences with beauty care.

Curved finger problem

The index and ring finger is usually the issue here.
The index finger will have a slant  towards the thumb or towards the middle finger. Extra care must be taken when shaping this nail.

If the slant is ignored and filed the same way as the rest of the nails, the curved finger will be emphasised.

The nail must be filed away more on one side then the other, to give the nail a more straight look.


 


I was only able to find example pictures, now I need to find somone with a curved finger. lol
