The are so many different nail shape possibilities to try for our fingertips. While I only know round, oval, square, squared oval nail shapes before I read this informational article by Diply. I am not the only one out of trend? 😉 I decided to make a further learning on how to choose the right nail shapes for me to wear daily and in specially occasions. Different nail shapes make a different effect on the hands and nails. Read on to find out how to shape nails perfectly and draw someone’s attention on your beautiful hands, by just having trendy acrylic nails shapes that you didn’t know before. It looks as if picking the favorite nail paint should not be the only decision we should make when we do or go for a manicure.
1. Round:
Round nails shape is one of the best types of acrylic nails and is ideal for short nails. It has many benefits like durability. Smooth and round nails are not easy to break, which is ideal for those who have weak nails and like to keep them short.
Squared Oval (Squoval):
This nail shape is best for everyone and considered to be the most universally smooth and flattering nail shape.
Ballerina:
Ballerina nail shape is best for strong and long nails that can keep the extreme shape and slender nail beds.
Mountain Peak:
More sharply pointed than almond shape nails, mountain peak nails are an unusual and daring nail shape! They can only really be achieved on artificial nails, because natural nails are just not strong enough to support the strain of having their sides removed.
Flare:
Flare nails is so called because the free edge of the nail flares out wider than the bottom, the shape is especially growing in popularity throughout the West Coast (I can see some of the designs in manicure shop here). The shape offers a wider canvas for nail art and a signature look. While it looks a bit fake from my point. Some even go wider to have duck feet nail! I am not sure I will make this on my finger tips but maybe on toes are OK.
Lipstick:
This shape is best for those who have narrow nail beds, acrylic nails, and slender shaped fingers.
Oval:
It’s elegant, strong and less accident- prone shape and suits every nail types and length as well . The oval shape looks amazing on different shapes of nails, however, short oval nails will never get out of fashion.
Arrowhead:
This is used to make straight sides that then sweep sharply into a v-shaped point.
Edge:
Edge nails are a cross between a stiletto and a square, where the straight free edge of the square is angled slightly to make a tip, similar to a rooftop.
Square:
Long square nails are extremely in style these days and best for all types of nails. This shape looks best on long and medium nails and this actually draws attention to the hands.
Stiletto:
You may need very long nail tips for this shape, which is fragile to main and work with, but absolutely eye catching even among ladies.
Almond:
This nail design is very appealing and well-known for its feminine look and delicacy. If your fingers are slim and tender, then this shape will enhance the gorgeousness of your pretty hands.
