MANICURES • STYLE GUIDE
The most flattering nail shape is one you love and can comfortably wear. Finger proportions matter, but lifestyle, natural growth, and daily tasks matter just as much.

What to know
Start with daily life
Typing, healthcare work, childcare, sports, and hands-on jobs often feel easier with shorter, softly rounded shapes.
Use enhancement structure wisely
Longer almond, coffin, or stiletto looks generally need product structure and regular maintenance to keep the apex and free edge balanced.
Choose with confidence
- Show a reference from more than one angle.
- Discuss your natural nail width and current length.
- Ask how the shape will feel during daily tasks.
- Start shorter if you are new to extensions.
Important: Shape names can vary slightly between inspiration photos and salons. Confirm the silhouette on one nail before the complete set is finalized.
