To ensure that you have an A-list manicure its of paramount importance that you choose the correct nail shape. It’s not a one size fits all show! The key parameters to keep in mind while choosing a nail shape is finger shape, nail length and nail bed width.

Almond Nails: Almonds are not only the showstopper at the food pyramid but have also made a move to your fingertips now. The nail is shaped in a way which gives it slender sides  and rounded tips. A great option for both long and short finger girls. Perfect shape for neutral tones.                                             

Round Nails: This nail shape is a no-brainer for short finger girls. This shape gives an elongated appearance to the fingers. The naturally curved edge makes wide nail bed appear thinner. The smooth curves of the round nail shape, make it versatile for any type of nail colour be it noisy neon’s or nonchalant nudes.
Square Nails: Another great nail shape finds, for short finger girls. Easy to maintain and hassle free. This nail shape has straight sides and squared off tips. Best suited for narrow nail bed, the square shape adds an illusion of width to the nail. Go bold or go home is the vibe of this shape. All bright and bold colours come live on this nail shape.

Oval Nails: The OG Oval, never runs out of style. A classic among the nail shapes. Imparts both length and width, to both, the nail, and fingers. Like the Almond nail shape but only blunter in appearance. Perfect for soft pastel hues.

Stiletto Nails: Statement nails, this shape is chosen by a few fearless souls. This go to Kylie Jenner nail shape style is like almond shape but only pointier nail tip. Superb for short finger ladies with the ultimate go-getter-vibes. Dark colour nail lacquers enhance the dramatic nail shape.
