Nail Shapes Guide: Almond, Coffin, Square, Stiletto
The right nail shape can completely change the look of your manicure. Here's a simple guide to the four most popular shapes.
Quick answer: Almond is elegant and flattering, coffin is bold, square is strong and practical, and stiletto is dramatic.
Almond nails
Slim at the sides with a soft, rounded point. Almond nails make fingers look longer and suit almost everyone. They're one of the most popular shapes for BIAB.
✨ Best for: a feminine, flattering look
Coffin nails
Also called ballerina nails, coffin nails taper to a flat, squared-off tip. Bold and on-trend, they suit longer lengths.
✨ Best for: statement nails and nail art lovers
Square nails
Straight sides and a flat tip. Square nails are classic, strong and practical, and perfect for a French manicure.
✨ Best for: short nails and busy hands
Stiletto nails
Long and sharply pointed. Stiletto nails are dramatic and eye-catching, but need length and strength to pull off.
✨ Best for: confident, show-stopping looks
