Nail shape refers to the specific contour or outline of the nail when it's trimmed or filed. There are several popular nail shapes, each with its own unique characteristics and suitability for different preferences and lifestyles. Here are some common nail shapes:
Square: This is a classic and straightforward shape where the nail is filed straight across the top and the edges are squared off. It provides a clean and neat appearance.
Coffin/Ballerina: Coffin or ballerina-shaped nails are long and tapered with a squared-off tip. They are named after the shape of a coffin or a ballerina's pointe shoe. This shape provides a trendy and edgy look.
Almond: Almond-shaped nails are tapered and come to a rounded point at the tip, resembling the shape of an almond. This shape gives the illusion of elongated fingers and is often associated with a more glamorous and trendy look.
Stiletto: Stiletto nails are long and pointed, resembling a stiletto heel. They are filed to a sharp, narrow point at the tip. This shape is bold, dramatic, and often chosen by those who want to make a fashion statement.
After getting your nails done, it's important to take proper care of them to maintain their appearance and ensure their longevity. Here are some tips on how to take care of your nails after a manicure:Moisturize: Keep your nails and cuticles moisturized by applying a nourishing cuticle oil or hand cream regularly. This helps to prevent dryness, cracking, and peeling of the skin around your nails.
Protect your nails: Wear gloves when you're engaging in activities that involve water, harsh chemicals, or excessive exposure to moisture. This includes washing dishes, cleaning with detergents, or swimming. Prolonged exposure to these elements can weaken your nails and cause the polish to chip or peel.
Schedule regular maintenance: Depending on the type of manicure you received, you may need to schedule regular maintenance appointments. Gel or acrylic nails, for example, often require infills or touch-ups every few weeks to maintain their appearance and strength.
