From my experience as a nail professional, I believe choosing the right nail shape is about more than simply following a trend. The right shape can complement the natural structure of your hands and fingers while making your overall manicure look more balanced and elegant.
When I work with a client, I first consider the length of their fingers, width of the nail bed, natural nail shape, and their lifestyle. For clients who prefer a classic and practical look, a round or square shape can be a comfortable choice. Oval and almond shapes can create a more elongated and elegant appearance, while a coffin or stiletto shape can be ideal for clients who enjoy a more dramatic and fashionable style.
I also consider how much maintenance the client is comfortable with. A nail shape should not only look beautiful but also suit your daily routine and natural nail condition.
For me, there is no single nail shape that suits everyone. I always prefer to understand the client’s hands, natural nails, personal style, and expectations before recommending a shape.
My goal is to create a manicure that feels beautiful, comfortable, and personalised. The perfect nail shape is ultimately the one that complements your hands and makes you feel confident every time you look at them.
