When it comes to expressing your personal style, your nail shape is one of the most powerful—and often overlooked—tools in your beauty arsenal. From texting to typing to holding your morning coffee cup, the shape of your nails matters more than you might think.
Let’s face it, choosing the perfect nails can sometimes feel overwhelming with so many options out there. Whether you’re looking for practical nail shapes that suit your busy lifestyle or something more fashion-forward, it’s helpful to consider your daily routine, hand aesthetics, and, most importantly, your personal vibe.
How to match your nail shape to your lifestyle
When choosing a nail shape, it’s important to consider more than just the look. Think about how you use your hands daily. If you're someone who works with their hands or leads a particularly active lifestyle, nail shapes for short nails like square nails or round nails might be more practical. They offer durability without sacrificing style, and their low maintenance makes them ideal for those on the move.
On the flip side, if your job involves a lot of desk work or you’re just after something a little more glam, longer trendy nail shapes like almond nails or coffin nails might be more up your alley. Just keep in mind that nail maintenance for these shapes requires a bit more effort, especially if you're trying to keep them looking fresh.
Nail your look with these must-try styles
Oval nails: the classic choice
