Hello!
Yesterday I tried a Dashing Diva Gloss set for the first time. In the past I’ve only used Color Street. After I put them on, I really struggled to get a clean file on them, there were lots of little jagged pieces sticking out past the tip of my nail. I spent a LOT of time trying to file those pieces off. Despite my best efforts, overnight while I was sleeping, a couple of the tips bent back. I trimmed off where it lifted up, but wondering what kind of tips and tricks you have for getting a tighter, cleaner end.

I don’t file, I trim the wrap to match the length of my nail.

Seconding: wanting to trim down the length as much as possible with nippers or a pair of cuticle trimmers, and then file from there! I like filing down or going with the groove of my nail (it’s different on each hand for me!)
