Choosing Your Next Nail Shape
Round nails
Round shapes are perfect for short nails; they are mostly low-maintenance and look minor, yet stylish. And these types of nails will appeal to you if you think your fingers look too ‘short’ or ‘chubby’.
Square nails
Just above the round nails are the square-shaped ones. This shape is defined by a top that has been filed flat and straight edges on the sides. If you have naturally short nails and narrow nail beds, this shape will work for you. It can also come in the form of rounded square nails..
Oval nails
Oval nails look great on longer lengths. They are slimmer and more feminine shape when compared to the round and square shapes. They are unique in their look, as the tips are soft and blunt, more so, they can make your hands look longer. There is another form of nails, which is the combination of both square and oval shapes.
Coffin nails
It is also known as ballerina nails, the shape is similar to stiletto nails, but with a much approachable, squared-off tip. If you like keeping long nails and are looking for an eye-catching shape, this is the one to pick.
Almond nails
A cuter and shorter version of oval nails, almond-shaped nails are narrower and end in a rounded point. To get this shape, you have to file slender sides, have a naturally wide base and bring the tip to a peak – almost like an actual almond. As attractive as the shape is, it can make your natural nails weak, so take care of them. You can also reinforce your nails with a gel polish or acrylics for added strength.
