There are of course many different nails colours, and ways to decorate the nails with different designs. What is often overlooked till we sit down to apply the nails is the different nails shapes. As well as being long or short nails can have many different shapes. These are both a stylistic choice and a functional consideration.
Square Nails
These are rectangular nails with a square edge and parallel sides. They are popular fro those with short natural nails as they make nails, and fingers, appear longer.
They tend to have a strong, bold look.
Round Nails
These have straight sides with curved edges. They are rather like the ideal natural shape of a nail, only slightly longer. These nails are popular with those who like a shorter nails, but wish to keep them very neat and natural looking.
Squoval Nails
A combination of square and oval, these are similar to square nails, but with softer, rounder edges and slightly tapered sides. They are how naturally long nails should look.
Oval Nails
These are similar to curved nails, except the sides are slightly tapered towards the edge.
Stiletto Nails
A dramatic looking nail that taper to a point at the edge. They are shaped like an almond.
Edge Nails
Also a dramatic looking nail, but they taper to a softer looking point than the stiletto. they are shaped like an arrowhead. They also have a raised ridge along the centre.
Ballerina Nails
These are longer nails that taper toward the edge, but they have a flat edge rather than a point. They are rather like an elegant ballerina shoe.
Lipstick Nails
An eccentric looking nail that has a slanted edge. They are named because they look like a lipstick.
Flare Nails
In contrast to other nails these have sides that tapper outward rather than inward. so they flare out, rather like a duck bill on a cartoon.
Of course long nails can be inconvenient for some situations, and occasionally an asset. Long nails may be a hindrance for typing or manual work, perhaps an advantage when playing guitar.
