Warm water makes the nail soft. With the help of an Emery, board file your nails to shape them perfectly. Beginners may start with rounded or square edged shaping. You should always avoid nail filers that are rough, coarse or even metallic in order to prevent damage. Better chose an emery board that is gentle abrasive. Buffing your nails should be done in a light way. Do not buff your nails too soft or nail paint will not adhere to it.
