Stiletto? Ballet? Coffin? Squoval? How is anyone meant to keep the different nail shapes straight? As a lifelong manicure addict, I am here to de-mystify ALL the nail shapes out there. Because shouldn’t figuring out your dream nail shape be as easy and enjoyable as getting a fresh manicure? Exactly. Let’s illustrate all the different nail shapes… with Kardashians. This shape works best for people who keep their nails short and have strong natural fingernails. If your nails are fragile or prone to breaking, you may find square nails prone to even more breakage. Kylie made this basic nail shape cool again when she dipped out on her long claws and re-embraced the oval in 2015. And just like that, the ’80s were back. Complicated, right? Here’s Kim casually coming for our lives with her long “natural”-shaped nails and rings that spell out North West. I personally think the ballerina nail shape is more dramatically tapered at the top — think a squared-off stiletto shape that looks like this. To the best of my knowledge, no Kardashian/Jenner has ever gotten this kreative with their manicure.
