The color and art on your nails are important, but the foundation of any great manicure is the shape. The right nail shape can elongate your fingers, complement your style, and complete your look. But with so many options, how do you choose? Here’s a quick guide to some of the most popular shapes.
- Square: Classic and clean, with straight sides and a sharp, flat top. It’s a durable shape that looks great on longer nail beds.
- Round: A simple and natural look that follows the curve of your fingertip. It’s low-maintenance and perfect for those who want to keep their nails short.
- Almond: Elegant and sophisticated, this shape is filed along the sides and tapers to a rounded peak. It makes fingers appear slimmer and longer.
- Coffin/Ballerina: A bold and trendy choice, this shape is long, tapered, and finished with a flat top. It’s a statement look that’s perfect for nail art.
