Almond
Elegant, elongating, and universally flattering. Almond softens the hand and makes fingers look longer, the safe-but-chic pick for most people. The tip is a little fragile, so gel or acrylic helps it last.
Oval
The most low-drama flattering shape. Oval visually lengthens short fingers and narrows wide nail beds while staying practical and office-friendly. Hard to go wrong with this one.
Squoval
A square top with soft corners: the most durable and universally flattering shape. If you want low-maintenance nails that still look done, this is your match. When in doubt, pick squoval.
Square
Clean, modern, and sturdy. Square shows off long fingers and crisp French tips beautifully. Keep the corners lightly filed so they do not catch and chip.
Round
Simple, sturdy, and natural. Round is ideal for short nails and hands-on days: maximum practicality with zero fuss, and it suits broad nail beds especially well.
Coffin (Ballerina)
Bold and glam, with tapered sides and a flat tip made for statement length. It needs gel or acrylic to hold up, and it is the trendsetter's favorite for a reason.
Stiletto
Dramatic, editorial, and pointed: pure high-fashion energy. Stiletto is fragile and high-maintenance, but absolutely unforgettable when you want to make a statement.
How the quiz picks your shape
Each answer adds points to the shapes that fit it. Finger length and nail-bed width decide how much a shape will flatter you, your lifestyle decides how much length and upkeep is realistic, and your vibe breaks the tie. The result is the shape that scores highest across all five questions, leaning toward the most flattering, low-regret option when it is close.
