My nails were always dirty as a kid so I learned to hate them. Now, I take better care of myself and I’m not ashamed to grow them. This is my second time ever filing/shaping them, how can I improve?

these are beautiful and lengthy and healthy! Personally, I would probably put some nail polish or gel polish over them, and they would automatically look like acrylics, which are beautiful!

This length is stunninggggg, dont you dare cutting them. Maybe its time for you to try some polish. Im pretty sure theyd look so good.

my recommendation would be to file them to where they are all the same shape!! they would look more consistent that way. beautiful either way!!

They look lovely. Please take care to keep check on your nail plate length, it may just be me but I’ve noticed when mine reach a certain length the nail plate begins to shorten. Perhaps from the pressure of daily activities.

Too long… trim them back a bit. Too oval for me. Pick a nice polish…high gloss look.

It looks like you may be cleaning a bit too aggressively under your nails, your hyponychium looks like it’s retreated into your nail bed pretty far. Try to be gentle and use a soft brush to clean under your nails. It’ll improve your nail health, and could help with some of your asymmetrical growth and shaping problems.

amazing work! these seem very strong!
one thing I would say is possibly you could work up from a shorter length and work on building your hyponichium to the tip of your finger, so there’s no space for dirt. at the moment, judging from a lack of curve at the bottom of the white of your nail and the shortness of the pink of the nail, it feels the hyponichium is separated quite deep in which slightly ruins the aesthetic of long nails (in my opinion). If you allow it to grow along your nail and extend even a little beyond your actual finger, dirt cannot get trapped under as easily and they will look very pretty!
