Is almond the most popular nail shape among your clients?

You’ll need to cut the sides of this nail to get to the shape quicker. Before we were using rounded nail clippers, but you’ll notice the curve is limiting as to how deep of a V-shape or triangle we can create on this free edge. So now that we will be cutting in more, you will want to switch over to using nail nippers. They will also keep you from creating ingrowns on the side of these nails. They can be super painful.
When creating an almond nail, you are essentially cutting the free-edge into a triangle. From there you simply shape up to an almond. This one is super easy, I think once cut out the natural nails free-edge, you’re home free.
P.S. Very important not to dig your file into the natural nail sidewalls or you can risk detaching the natural nails from the nail bed or again, digging that corner in.
