10 Cool Nail Shapes to Consider Before Booking Your Next Mani
There are many difficult decisions to be made in the nail salon. While we talk a lot about choosing a color, nail shapes are equally crucial (if not more so).
Not only can varied nail shapes alter the appearance of your hands, but they may also set the tone for your manicure before you even decide
on the ideal nail polish colors or nail art designs. Consider this: short, nude round nails and nude stiletto nails have very different looks.
"There are many nail shape options to choose from, starting with the classics like round, oval, almond, square, and squoval, to more extreme shapes like coffin,
stiletto, and lipstick," says Thea Green, founder of Nails.INC, to Glamour. According to Green, most people like "classic"
nail forms such as oval, almond, square, and squoval, however ballerina and flair nails are becoming increasingly popular.
As the name implies, round nails have a rounded tip and look fantastic with nails of any length. They're also simple to keep and do yourself at home.
Rounded nails follow the natural curve of the fingertip, creating a soft and subtle shape,"
Juli Russell, Sally Beauty's manicurist and DIY nail expert, tells Glamour. "This design is good for short- to medium-length nails,
but it is ideally suited for longer fingers or those who work with their hands a lot. It's the strongest and grows nicely."
