Filing Technique: Straight for Applying Jamberry Nail Wraps

November 15, 2014 By Christina Chitwood30-Day Challenges, Beauty, Jamberry Nails

What is the right way to file your Jamberry Nail Wraps? Do you go side to side? Filing for Jamberry Nail Wraps is quick and simple. It’s different than normal filing, though. So, it’s important to know what filing tricks work when applying your nail wraps. This trick, the straight-down filing technique for applying Jamberry Nail Wraps is one of the more traditional methods for filing Jamberry Nail Wraps.

Make Sure You Let Your Nail Wraps Cool

It’s important to leave enough time for your nail wraps to cool before filing. This allows for your nail wraps to completely adhere to your nails, creates a smoother edge, and a longer lasting finish.

Why Straight Down Filing?

If you like to have your nails looking pristine and have the nail wrap go all the way to the end of the nail, this is the filing technique for you. If you file in an upward or side to side motion, this will affect the nail wraps on your nails. It’s important to only file in a downward motion.

What You’ll Need

A Jamberry Nail Wraps Sheet
A Good Nail File / Emery Board
Optional: Nail Scissors or Clippers (if you want to cut the end off your nail wrap before filing)
You can get a nail file, nail scissors, nail clippers, and more in the Application Kit with Nail Oil!

How Do You File Straight? 

1. File Straight in a Downward Motion Only Down the Middle of the Nail Wrap: Start above your nail and lightly move the nail file in a downward motion only. Continue until the nail wrap end starts to come off.

2. Do the same as step one one the right edge of your nail.

3. Do the same as step one and two on the left edge of your nail.

4. Repeat steps one through three until the end of the nail wrap is completely removed. Make sure the end and edges of the nail feel smooth.

5. Repeat on all nails and nail wraps.
