Square

Straight sides, flat tip. Classic and practical. Great for fans of neat, geometric nails. Best at shorter to medium lengths.

Square with softened corners. Combines the clean look of square with the comfort of oval. Very popular with everyday clients.

Straight sides narrowing to a rounded tip. Feminine, classic, versatile. Flattering on almost all hand types.

More tapered than oval with a pointed-round tip resembling an almond. Elegant and elongating.

Straight sides, flat squared-off tip — resembling a coffin or ballerina slipper. Dramatic and fashionable.

Straight sides tapering to a sharp point. The most dramatic nail shape. Best for special occasions or fashion-forward clients.

Wider at the tip than the base — flared outward. Bold and unconventional.
