So like it or not, how well you’re groomed, your clothes and how neatly you’re presented is significant. Nails are that small detail that can enhance that perfectly put together outfit and make a real impression.

So behold my friends, it’s time for some serious nail reading! I’m even a bit scared as now after all these years of displaying my nails to public, you can learn so much more about me… and your favourite nail artist/nail Instagrammer too!

7 nail shapes & what they say about you:

1. Square: If you like square nails, you’re the type of personality who can manage subtle changes to the way things are. But if you had a choice, you’d always stick to the most convenient and comfortable option. You are also a bit stubborn.

2. Squoval: If squoval nails are your favourite, you have a fantastic sense of humor. You have an easy-going, easy-to-excite personality that finds no difficulty shifting from classic thinking to a more innovative, destructive one. Likewise, because you are an easy adopter, people like being around you.

3. Round: Round nails are the most low maintenance nail shape you can have. It allows you to move and move around without breaking it. So needless to say, it’s the go-to shape for most working women. You’re easy going yet very practical.

4. Oval: The next most practically shaped nail next to round nails, women who have oval nails have a combination of flair and practical personality. If you have this shape of nails, you’re intelligent, but slightly indecisive and gravitate towards classic and elegant options.

5. Almond: You’re practical yet creative and gravitate towards unusual, unique choices. You want things to stay functional but, you’re always inclined to incorporate some innovation in what you do. You are chic and sophisticated but you like to keep things real and have things your way.

6. Ballerina: If you like ballerina nail shape, you are the ultra feminine girl, who is very stylish and trendy. Without doubt, you love to impress! Surprisingly, this nail shape can suit almost every woman, but beware it can be difficult to maintain.

7. Stiletto: You’re one-of-a-kind, and probably the most creative and innovative person people around you know. Also, if you wear stiletto nails, I bet you’re not an office worker, because typing and paper work become simply impossible. Innovation and attention to detail are two areas in which you excel which is why you can find great success in the business world and always keep your friends and lovers happy!
