Shaping Oval to Squoval
To shape your oval nails to squoval without losing too much length, use the softer grit side of the nail file (the "&" side) to gently flatten out the tip of the nail. Avoid sawing motions and file in one direction to ensure you don't shred the tip of your nail. Once you've reached the desired length and a nice flat top, use the file to gently round out the corners of the nails to get the classic "squoval" shape.
