If long talons aren't your thing, but you still crave an elegant and elongated look, short almond nails promise both while being, well, short - and they're so popular right now.
The 2025 nail trends are pointing to a year of short nails. This isn't to say that long square and almond nails are out (they're timeless styles), but we are noticing a shift towards more understated and practical lengths. First, it was squoval nails, beloved for their neat and slightly rounded tips. Then came short square nails, which are still proving popular and now it seems classic almond is also facing a filing. Instead of the long manicures that perfectly mimic the oval shape of an almond, we'll see that signature tapered tip applied to far shorter nails - for a similarly smooth but minimalistic look.
