When you think of nail shapes, classic almond and square are likely the first to spring to mind, but there are actually several more styles, each boasting their own defining characteristics. There are modern options that blend two shapes (like squoval), while others are better suited to longer nails, but all equally have the power to transform your manicure.
The key is selecting the right nail shape for you, and this decision is arguably on par with your choice of nail trend or timeless colour. Because, as the experts explain, not all nail shapes suit all nail lengths and designs. Take squoval nails, for instance; this shape works especially well with nail designs for short nails and treatments like that of BIAB nails. Whereas stiletto and coffin, on the other hand, are better for longer nails, as these sorts of tapered nails require enough length to really create that signature gradient or angular tip.
