Varied colors, varied textures, improved hold: nail polishes are constantly improving. But you still need to know how to manage the base, that is to say, the shape of your nails. So which one should you choose? Depending on the length, the nature of the nail, and the shape of your fingers, here are the main inspirations to be on top.
Almond nail shape
What is it? Often done on long nails, the almond shape resembles the fruit of the same name.
The right move: File a lot on the sides as if to make a point. Then gently file the point to create this rounded tip.
Pointed or stiletto nail shape
What is it? It’s the shape that was considered vulgar a few years ago but has become a bit trendy.
The right move: File the left and right sides of the nail a lot (and straight). You have to have long nails!
Natural nail shape
What is it? A basic shape, worn short, that suits everyone and copies the natural shape of the fingertips.
The right move: File the entire nail to the same height.
Square nail shape
What is it? The nail is square with two sharp right angles. A shape that appeals to many American women.
The right move: File only the upper part of the nail very straight and not the sides.
Rounded square nail shape
What is it? Ultra-trendy a few years ago, this classic shape goes with all nails.
The right move: File straight as for the square, barely rounding the right and left sides.
Rounded or oval nail shape
What is it? A very soft shape that creates uniformity because it recalls the matrix of the nail.
The right move: File everywhere evenly, forming a semicircle with your file.
Edge or ballerina nail shape
What is it? An original and slightly rock shape often on long nails. A mix between the square and the stiletto.
The right move: file the sides well to make the start of a point and very quickly file the top of the straight nail as for the square shape.
