BASIC NAIL SHAPE

As it always been said that your nails are one

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.
