Find a nail shape that feels like you

Start with the length you enjoy wearing, then choose the outline. A reference photo helps, but the finished shape should work with your nails and your daily routine.

The shapes at a glance

• Round: a softly curved tip.
• Square: straight sides and a flat tip with defined corners.
• Squoval: a square outline with softer corners.
• Almond: tapered sides ending in a rounded point.
• Coffin: tapered sides with a flat tip.
• Stiletto: a pronounced, pointed tip.

Choose for your everyday life

Think about work, hobbies and the length you are used to. Tell your artist if you prefer a shorter set or softer corners. Some shapes need more length to create the look in your reference photo.

Bring your inspiration

Save one or two photos and point out what you like: the shape, color or design. Discuss what is possible with your chosen service before starting.
