How To Cut Your Acrylic Nails Shorter. Leave the Arch Point. This helps especially for those with almond and round shaped nails.
If your nails are really long and thick break off the very tips to make them thinner and easier to cut. You will want to keep the arch point the highest that you can as possible and you will also start to see that the Acrylic gets thinner as you file. You can always cut or file your nails shorter later on.
If the tip doesnt fit perfectly you can trim and shape it according to your nails.
This helps especially for those with almond and round shaped nails. As you cannot add false nails on short nails the overlay needs to be done with extreme precision otherwise the overlay may not be durable for a long period. I love a good fluted bit. Use a coarse bit or one specific for acrylic removal.
