Which Nail Shape to Choose According to Your Body Type
Choosing the right shape for your false nails is essential to show off your hands and enhance your fingers.
Here is a guide to help you select the ideal shape according to the morphology of your nails and hands.
📌 1. For thin and long fingers:
Do you have slender fingers? Any shape will suit you perfectly, but here are some that will flatter them even more:
✅ Stiletto : Extends the hand even further for an ultra-elegant effect.
✅ Ballerina / Coffin : Chic and modern, perfect for a trendy manicure.
✅ Almond : Natural and refined effect, ideal for a touch of elegance.
🚫 Avoid overly wide shapes like the square, which could give a disproportionate effect.
📌 2. For short and/or wide fingers:
If your fingers are shorter, choose shapes that visually slim your hands:
✅ Almond : Adds finesse and lengthens the fingers.
✅ Oval : Soft and natural, perfect for refining hands.
✅ Lipstick : Its sloping edge creates an optical illusion that slims the fingers.
🚫 Avoid shapes that are too square or wide, such as the Large Square or the XL Coffin , which can accentuate the "short" effect.
📌 3. For flat or curved natural nails:
If your natural nails are very flat , some shapes can be difficult to wear without gel pads or liquid glue to properly conform to the curve.
🔹 If you have flat nails :
✅ Layer 2 gel pads to compensate for the difference in volume and prevent peeling.
✅ Choose shorter or medium shapes (Oval, Short Almond, Short Square).
🔹 If you have curved nails :
✅ Prefer a flexible capsule to avoid empty spaces on the sides.
✅ Coffin, Ballerina and Stiletto shapes can fit well.
📌 4. For a natural and discreet effect:
If you want an elegant but discreet manicure, opt for:
✅ "Natural" shape : Close to a short rounded nail, ideal for a subtle look.
✅ Short oval : Provides a neat and natural effect.
✅ Short bob : Ideal for a clean and structured effect without being too flashy.
🌟 Please note: Our male customers or those who wish to hide damaged nails particularly appreciate the Natural shape, which imitates a healthy, well-maintained nail.
