Shaping them like that is a manicure.
I’ve never “had them done.” Of course I file off the broken and jagged bits.
I was carefully babying that particular set for the shoot, but then I managed to break off three or four of them and had to take them all down all the way. I ended up at the shoot with 0.062” shorties for the trip to Texas. Sigh...
A gal who saw that picture had a French manicure because she thought I had had one. Sigh... She was quite disappointed when she met me and my stubs. We’re still friends.
