of your best accessories, they could speak to your entire appearance. Therefore, it’s just as important to find the most flattering nail shape for your nails as it is the perfect color. There are no strict rules on which shape to wear, but there are essential steps to follow, if you want to have finished flawless look. First step is to choose a nail file that is right for you; the main difference between nail files is the grit – the lower the number, the rougher the grit. If you have natural nail use crystal nail file. As some say, “It just takes longer time to file acrylic or gel nails with crystal nail file”. Next step would be clipping or cutting your nails if you want to change the length, after this one you are ready to file. File your nails from the outside of the nail towards the center of the nail — going from each side inward, but not going back and forth. One more important thing to remember- do not file wet nails, let them completely dry. When it comes to nail shapes, it’s hard to say what is best, it’s like picking hair color or outfit. Totally depends on one’s taste. But there are basic shapes that you could go with: Squoval- is probably one of the awkward words ever, but it so popular because it’s less prone catching on clothing, which is the main cause of nail breaking. This style looks great on any finger, although it could look better on longer fingers with narrow nails. Square - is classic and easy to maintain shape, which look great paired with famous French manicure. But I would strongly recommend to avoid this shape if you have shorter nails and fingers. The square shape could enhance shortness. Rounded shape - is great. The main reason is its utility, if you can’t have long nail at work, go with rounded shape. Simply the best nail shape ever, it goes with practically any nails and fingers types. Almond/Pointed - one of trends of latest fashion seasons, a lot of female singers had this nail shape on their finger disadvantage- nail can easily break.
