Use a file or a buffer with 4 sides, from rough to soft. Start by cutting your nails and then start filing them using the roughest side of the file until you obtain the desired shape.

Using the second roughest side, file the tip gently as well as the nail itself. Don't file too much because you will make your nails thin. Take the second smoothest side and file the tip and the nail until you get a smooth surface. When you are finished use the softest side to add shine to the nail. You can use this side as much as you desire to touch up your manicure.

File your nails once a week and you should have peel free nails. If you wish to make your nails stronger apply nail care products that contain vitamin B.
