Find Your Nail Shape

Different shapes. Different vibes. Find your fit.

Your nail shape can change the whole look of your set. Whether you love a clean, understated manicure or bold, 3D nail art, there’s a shape to match your style.

The Nail Shape Guide

ROUND
Short. Simple. Effortlessly polished.

Soft, rounded edges follow the natural curve of your fingertips. A practical, low-key choice for everyday wear.

Best for: Minimalist looks, shorter nails, and an easy everyday style.

OVAL
Classic. Elegant. Timeless.

Gently tapered sides and a rounded tip create an elongated, graceful look. A versatile choice that pairs beautifully with everything from sheer neutrals to delicate nail art.

Best for: Classic manicures, an elegant look, and everyday versatility.

ALMOND
Feminine. Refined. A little glam.

Tapered sides meet in a softly rounded point, creating the recognizable almond silhouette. A favorite for showcasing color, shimmer, cat-eye finishes, and detailed designs.

Best for: Elevated everyday looks, dreamy finishes, and statement nail art.

SQUARE
Clean. Confident. Modern.

Straight sides and a flat tip create a crisp, geometric silhouette. Bold in its simplicity, square nails look especially striking with French tips and graphic designs.

Best for: Modern styles, clean lines, and classic French manicures.

SQUOVAL
Relaxed. Versatile. Always in style.

A combination of square and oval, squoval nails have a flatter tip with softened corners. They offer a polished look without the sharper edges of a traditional square shape.

Best for: Everyday wear, understated designs, and a balance of structure and softness.

COFFIN / BALLERINA
Bold. Fashion-forward. Made to stand out.

Tapered sides lead to a flat tip, creating a silhouette reminiscent of a coffin or ballerina slipper. The elongated shape provides a striking canvas for layered colors, embellishments, and dimensional nail art.

Best for: Glamorous sets, 3D details, and maximalist designs.

STILETTO
Dramatic. Edgy. Unapologetically expressive.

Long, tapered sides meet at a sharp point. Stiletto nails bring instant drama and make a statement before you even choose a color.

Best for: Bold nail art, high-impact looks, and anyone who loves a little drama.

Which Shape Is Right for You?

  • Love simple and practical? Try round or squoval.
  • Prefer classic and polished? Explore oval or square.
  • Love a little glam? Almond is a beautiful place to start.
  • Want more room for intricate nail art? Consider coffin / ballerina.
  • Ready to make a statement? Stiletto brings the drama.

A Little Fit Advice

Shape and length are two different things. You can love an almond shape in a shorter length or choose a longer square for a bolder look.

Your natural nail shape, preferred length, and daily activities can all help guide your choice. Most importantly, choose a style that feels like you.
