REMOVE THE NAIL SNEAKILY

Use special scissors with a round toe to cut your nails. This creates an optical illusion of lengthening and softens your nails. Do not cut the tip of your ugly nail too straight, square, or sharp.

Another tip: Make sure to check the shape of your nails before you apply nail polish. One broken nail will mean that you cannot have both short and long nails. You can balance them by shortening each of the 10 nails or putting a false ugly nail on one that is damaged.

Apply nail polish with an “Italian”-sounding style. This is when you leave a “corridor”, or a mark on one side of your nails (a maximum of 0.5mm). Otherwise, the cheating might be too obvious.
