Active Length vs. Stiletto Nails | Stress Area, Arch & Apex Placement Explained

[@jmrgunners]

This was the best explanation and demonstration on this topic I’ve ever seen. I loved when Karen put a dent in the product to store the apex. It really gave a fantastic visual. Such a great teacher.

Watched many video’s regarding apex placement and height and this is the most detailed demo I’ve watched! Very easy to understand.

Thank you for taking the time to explain in the visual lesson in detail. And how to file to keep the arch and apex in the right place over the stress area.

[@MsTangeray]

Great explanation on the different parts of the nail AND proper efile technique! My nails are terribly flat and so I need help in this area!

[@bnailed6035]

Knowledge of your nails and different vocabulary is just as important as the foundation of your application which is your prep

[@lindsayrittinger3714]

Karen explains everything so clearly! Keep the structure videos coming, I feel like this is what all nail tutorials are missing. I would love more videos on almond and stiletto structure. Thanks!

This video is so helpful! It’s exactly what I needed to help with my shaping! ❤

Seeing this in action, makes more since! Thank you for doing this! This was very helpful and informative to me! I know where the stress point was, but was having a little bit of a problem with getting the right placement! Need to try this!

Thank you for being so detailed

[@jazzblakk69]

Thank you so much. This was a great video... straight to the point.

[@CaduJoeySon]

Could you please make a demonstration with hard gel? You are so good at explaining these techniques.

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you for the suggestion. The apex would be in the same place for the respective nail lengths with hard gel.
