Choose between the classic shapes such as oval, square, squoval and round the ideal for your hands. The one that will make your fingers look great, long and thin. Alternatively, you can prefer a more special shape like stiletto, almond, ballerina, etc.

Here's a list of the basic shapes and the secrets each holds. So you will be able to make the best choice and create a practical and impressive nail shape.

Oval nails:

The oval nails they are very practical and can be maintained easily. It is ideal for both wide and narrow nail bases. Its long shape with rounded edges makes it more durable and a must-choice for women who love long nails. Also, the shape of the shape makes the fingers and nails look longer.

Square Nail Shape:

The square nails are the most popular. They are perfect for any nail length, but not recommended for women with short fingers or wide nail bases as they are not flattering at all. This particular shape, which has distinct and sharp angles, needs frequent maintenance to maintain. Its wide and straight top makes the nails look wider. Finally, it is the ultimate nail shape for French manicure.

Squoval – Squared oval nails:

For women who love the square nail shape but want something more durable, the squaval is the ideal shape. It is a nail shape that combines the square with the oval. More specifically, it is a square shape with rounded edges that exudes elegance. It suits women with a wide base very well, although it flatters every nail base design and every finger type. Its maintenance is very easy, since you can form it yourself. All you have to do is file the edges vertically and round them off a bit.

Round nail shape:

If you are one of the women looking for a practical nail shape with great durability, then choose to make a round shape on short nails. This is a shape ideal for nails with a wide base, which they tend to make visually smaller. To achieve this, file the edges vertically, rounding the top.

Almond nails:

The almond nail shape is ideal for women who love very long nails. It has a rather peculiar shape, is not very practical and makes the nails more fragile and sensitive. But its long and thin shape makes the fingers look thinner and longer. To make your nails almond-shaped you should file the sides enough and give them this conical shape with the nose in front.

Stiletto Nails:

The stiletto nail shape may make the nails look very long, but due to its particular shape, in which the sides of the nail are completely lost and a very long tip is created, it is very fragile. So if you are one of those women who do business or generally use your hands a lot, this nail shape will not suit you. It is of course very common to do it with the help of gel or acrylic, so that the nail becomes harder, but it can still break more easily than an oval or squoval nail shape.

Ballerina nails – Shape of ballerina nails:

Ballerina nails, also known as coffin nails, are also one of the very special shapes. They have more squared corners than stiletto nails, which makes them more practical in everyday life. They are ideal for long nails with a narrow base and thin fingers. One of their disadvantages, however, is that the long distance between the French line and the base of the nail makes the French manicure not such a good idea.

But if you are looking for a more special nail shape that will make you stand out, you can try one of them: Mountain peak, Edge, Lipstick and Wide.
