Your Weekly Nail Prescription: Breaking or Tearing Corners

We sat down with our very own W Nail Tech, Lauren Huffman, to get the scoop on breaking or tearing. Here’s what she said: “I notice a lot of people complain about how often their nails break or tear at the corners when they have a square or squoval shape. I suggest changing the shape to round. Filing those corners and edges have helped me tremendously (I usually tell them based off of my own experiences, because I have naturally thin nails and my nails break A LOT!). Plus, I tell them to always keep gel on them as a protection! They are usually skeptical about going from square to round but always end up loving it!” Have a nail issue on your mind?
