DIFFERENT NAIL SHAPES

Oval Nail Shape

This type of nail shape accentuates the elegant features of women and this is because of the tampered side walls created in oval shapes. The oval nail shape flattens the wider sides, thereby creating a longer length. To create a perfect oval nail shape, file the side walls straight up and ensure they are  even at both sides.

Square Nail Shape

This type of nail shape can also be called 'Classic French' because of its strong side walls that are sharp and round. This shape accentuates the nails to look shorter and wider. If you desire to make a very long nails, it would be advisable to rock the square nail shape as this will flatter the length. To create this shape, file the upper front (breath) of the nails and ensure they're perpendicular to the edges of the nails.

Squoval (Square oval) Nail Shape

This is the nail shape that combines both oval and square features. This is the most popular nail shape for natural nails. If you want to create this nail shape, begin with square features before converting into oval features. File the edges until they are rounded and levelled. Be careful, not to over file the sides.

Round Nail Shape

This is the type of nail shape that fits people who keep short nails. Men tend to keep this kind of nail shape the most. This is also one of the most conservative shapes of the bunch. This shape flatters wide nails, and gives the illusion of a thinner nail bed. File the side edges straight like a square, then round the free edge into that perfect swooping circle.
