Each of these shapes has pros and cons. So, compare them when selecting the best nail form for you:
- Oval nails are classic and elegant. They are also easy to maintain and don’t require much filing. However, if you have wide fingers, they may make your hands look even wider.
- Almond nails are very popular right now. They are similar to oval nails but have a more tapered shape. This makes them perfect for those who want to add length to their nails without making them look too wide. However, almond nails can be difficult to file and may require regular maintenance.
- Stiletto nails are the most dramatic of the three shapes. They are long and pointy, which can make your hands look extra slim. If you are going for this look, make sure you have the time.
