The part of the nail that can be filed or shaped is the free edge, which is the portion that extends beyond the fingertip. Filing should be done gently to avoid damage to the nail structure. It's important to file in one direction rather than a back-and-forth motion to prevent splitting. Additionally, the nail's sides can also be shaped to create a desired profile.
