Tip No. 1: Keep a file wherever you go.
Kim visits a nail salon regularly, but she admits that she does the filing herself because she wants her nails perfectly square. In fact, she carries a file everywhere she goes. She also admits that she is nervous whenever her manicurist is not available, and she has to be serviced by another person because she might end up offending her if she does the filing herself.
