What shape nails?

Jayla, on October 19, 2018 at 11:05 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 58

Your nails are just as important on your wedding day as is everything else, they complete the look! How will you wear your nails? Are you going classic with a round, square, or almond shape? Or, will you keep it edgy with a coffin, stiletto, or pointed shape?

    I will be an edgy bride and my nails will definitely be coffin ⚰️ shaped. They’re my favorite 💅🏽

    I prefer square or almond. I keep my nails rather short, even with acrylics because I have long nail beds and my nails grow crazy fast so I keep them shorter to avoid going to get them touched up as much. Coffin make my nails look too long and once they do start to grow out I can't do anything with them!

    Right now they are pretty square but I think when I get them redone on Wed for the wedding I may ask them to round them out more to make them softer

    Round or almond shape most likely!

    I typically wear my nails in a coffin shape, but I did almond for my wedding because it was more vintage. I couldn’t wait to trim the tops off afterwards! Smiley laugh It’s just not a very practical or sturdy shape, at least for me.

    I prefer a more rounded nail, and I will do an ombré French manicure for the day of.

    I always do round! Square nails look stupid on me. I’ve also had stilettos but I don’t think they’d be “wedding appropriate”

    Squoval is the best! Personally i think straight square looks good on few people... The rounded corners make it so much more nice and natural!
