Oval, almond, coffin, square — the right nail shape can transform how your hands look. Here is how to find your perfect match.
Choosing a nail shape is more personal than most people realize. The right shape can elongate short fingers, balance wide nail beds, or simply express your personality. Here is a breakdown of the most popular shapes.
Square
Flat across the top with sharp corners, square nails are classic and strong. They suit wider nail beds and are great for those who type or use their hands a lot, as the shape holds up well.
Round
Slightly curved at the edges, round nails are low-maintenance and natural-looking. They are ideal for short nails and make fingers appear longer and slimmer.
Oval
Similar to round but more elongated, oval nails are universally flattering. They create an elegant, feminine look and are one of the most popular choices at our salon.
Almond
Tapered into a soft point like an almond, this shape is glamorous and sophisticated. It works best on longer nails and makes fingers look slender.
Coffin (Ballerina)
Long with a flat, square tip, coffin nails are bold and on-trend. They are perfect for those who love nail art as the wide surface provides a great canvas.
