Round, oval short, oval long or square: the shape of your nails matters more than you think. The right nail shape makes your fingers look longer, feels comfortable in daily use and suits your style. Here's what to look for when choosing.
Round: the safe classic
Round nails follow the natural line of your fingertip. They look soft and well-groomed, don't catch on anything and are perfect if you work with your hands a lot. If you have wider nail beds, round makes your fingers look slimmer. This is the shape I recommend to anyone wearing press-ons for the first time.
Oval: elegant and lengthening
Oval nails taper to a softer point, which instantly creates an elegant effect. Oval short is chic yet practical, ideal for the office. Oval long turns your hands into a real statement — beautiful for an evening out or a wedding. Shorter fingers? Oval is your best friend, because this shape lengthens visually.
Square: modern and bold
Straight sides, a clean edge. Square is the shape of the moment and looks great with both nude tones and eye-catching designs. Square short is surprisingly practical: strong, confident and still refined. Especially lovely on longer, slender fingers.
