30 Pretty almond-shaped nail art to try now

Next time you go for a manicure, consider trying almond-shaped nail art. While choosing a nail polish color can be stressful, choosing a nail shape is just as important, if not more so. Circles are classic, squares are iconic, and thin heels are bold. Almond-shaped nails, which share their name and have an oval silhouette, are the best of the three. They are both sleek and modern, with an edge to them thanks to their somewhat pointed tips.

The almond-shaped nails are very pleasing and chic and go best with longer nails.” If your nails are naturally short, you may need the help of acrylics or extensions to achieve the perfect almond nail, but judging from the 30 almond nail ideas below, it’s worth it.

Any nail shape lends itself to some good nail art: Whether you have pointy nails or short, wide nails, we think that a well-prepared canvas, no matter how sculpted, offers you or your nail art skills a chance to create something beautiful. We all love it, but we must admit that the art of almond-shaped nails appeals to us.

“The beautiful thing about almond nails, and how the art affects their shape, is that it’s different than what you can achieve on a different length of the square nail. That’s why it’s the preferred choice.”
