When our clients visit The Skin & Body Spa for a manicure, they’re eager to pick the perfect nail polish color. However, that’s not the only decision to be made! Choosing an appropriate nail shape is equally as important, but we’ve found that most people are unsure how to do so. Today, we’d like to share four of the most flattering nail shapes to help make your decision easier. Keep reading to learn more, then schedule your next manicure appointment with us in Nashua, NH, today!
Squoval
One of our favorite nail shapes is the squoval, which combines the traditional square and oval shapes. It’s among the most popular, too, because it suits everyone! Natural fingernails typically grow in a squoval shape, so as your manicure grows out, it’s easy to maintain.
Ballerina
If you’re interested in a luxurious manicure, you’ll love the ballerina nail shape! Ballerina nails resemble a ballerina’s pointe slipper because they’re long, thin, and squared off at the tip. Because of their narrow shape, they look best on slim fingers, but we believe anyone can wear them well.
Almond
Almond-shaped nails are exactly what you think they are — nails shaped like almonds! This elegant shape has a feminine look that looks chic on everyone. Our nail technicians especially recommend almond nails for clients who want their fingers to appear longer.
Stiletto
When you need a dramatic nail look, the stiletto shape should be your go-to. It’s long and slender, but the tip is sharp and pointed. You should know that stiletto nails require more upkeep, but the bold look they achieve is often worthwhile! Because this shape is among the most fragile, we suggest reinforcing them with acrylic or gel.
You may have to experiment with these different nail shapes to find your favorite, but we at The Skin & Body Spa promise that they’re flattering on everyone. Schedule your manicure appointment at our Nashua salon today!
