There is no preference for any one this season, so each girl can wear the one that suits her best.
Most often, clients of manicure salons choose an oval. This is the most durable form and looks good on both long and short nails. The almond shape can be worn at any age and with any shape of the finger. With this form, you can do any kind of manicure without fear of ruining the nail. Almond shaped nails suit everyone, especially those with short puffy fingers.

Active girls often choose round nails, since this form breaks less often due to the fact that it does not have too protruding borders. Best of all, such nails are suitable for those who have the same rounded shape of the cuticle. Round nails look ugly on long nails, so you need to wear this shape on short ones.For this form, it is important to use prints on the nails. This will add to the image of mischief. You can add rhinestones to them, or you can use them on a classic one or two ton manicure. Now the trend is velveteen manicure, in which the nails are covered with a special soft flock. From this, the nail plate becomes fluffy. It is for this shape of the nail that such a manicure is best suited. Another similar option is a knitted manicure that imitates the knitting of a sweater. The round shape adds tenderness and comfort to such a manicure.
Not so long ago, the square shape of the nail was especially popular. This is perhaps the most fragile form. It is not suitable for everyone, but only for girls with very thin fingers. A French manicure is perfect for this nail shape. Ideal to match them with powdery shades. They compensate for the aggressiveness of the form. Thus, the combination will be more natural. A combination of delicate shades with light gray, as well as floral patterns on the ring fingers, looks good.
Sharp nails are also suitable only for those who have thin fingers. This form is the easiest to make. Most often it occurs on extended nails. This is the most extravagant option, although brave girls choose it as a daily one. It is very difficult to grow such nails, so a manicure should be not only beautiful, but also practical and protect the nail from breakage.
Before the main layer of varnish, it is imperative to apply a protective base; it is forbidden to use acetone, which negatively affects the nail.
As a summer manicure in light colors, a French design will look good under this shape, as well as a multi-colored design with drawings.In the winter version, you can use patterns in the form of snowflakes, but a winter manicure can add aggressiveness to the image. Whatever the pattern, it is important to ensure that there are no cracks and chips on the nail, as this will lead to an early loss of the nail.
