QuoteReplyTopic: Whats Your Perfect Nail Shape? Posted: September 23 2008 at 8:04am
The common expert word on selecting nail shape starts with your hands.
I have read that for large hands the best nail shape is a squared off nail since this will help to slim and balance the hands and the shape of the nails.
For smaller hands the word is to go with a rounded or oval shape to elongate the hands and the nails.
Which brings up other questions
1. Is oval/almond and square the only two shapes for fingernails? 2. Are these really the perfect nail shapes?
3. Which of the two nail shapes.....grow out better?
I have had my nails in both the square and oval shapes even though I have small hands and fingers. I have found no real difference so I am wondering if oval is really the perfect nail shape for me?
What is your perfect nail shape and why?

I like to keep my nails somewhat short and oval. I find that squared off nails are hard for me to maintain because I can never get the corners the way I want unless I get a professional manicure with fake tips.
Here's an article I wrote on choosing the best shape and color of nail polish for your nails based on the shape of your nail bed:
Polished nails and healthy cuticles aren't the only things that make your fingernails beautiful. Keeping your nails trimmed and shaped properly helps to create a glamorous look to your hands.
