DYDM Nail Style Guide

There are several factors to consider when selecting a nail shape, including personal preference, occasion and hand shape. When choosing a nail shape, consider hands, fingers and nail beds. Here are some tips on choosing the nail shapes that fit you the best.

Square

This shape is straight across the top and has sharp corners. It’s best for those with long, slender fingers as it can make shorter fingers look stubby.

Squoval

A combination of square and oval, capturing the elegance of the oval, but with a flatter tip. This shape looks good on any hand shape. It’s a good option for those who want a more natural look.

Round

This shape is perfect for those with short fingers and wide nail beds. It softens the look of the hands and makes the fingers appear longer.

Oval

This shape is similar to round, but with a more elongated shape. It’s perfect for those with shorter fingers and long palms as it can help make fingers appear longer and more slender, creating a proportional balance with your palm length.

Almond

This shape is slender and tapers towards the tip, giving a feminine and dainty look. It’s an ideal choice for those with wide palms and short fingers, as it can create a slimming effect and elongate the fingers.

Ballerina

This shape is tapered with a flat top, resembling a ballerina’s pointe shoe. It has become increasingly popular in recent years and looks good on everyone, elongating short or wide fingers.

Stiletto

This shape is long and pointed, like a stiletto heel. It’s best for those with long fingers and narrow nail beds who want to make a bold statement.

 

Ultimately, the best nail shape is the one that makes you feel confident and beautiful. Experiment with different shapes and see what works best for you!
