I've changed the shape of my nails a bit. Just as an experiment. I have a lot of weak spots on the corners of my nails when I wear them squared off. I'm feeling the urge to just hack them down to nubs, but thought I would try this out for a few manicures to see if it will grow on me. I know some have said that the "almond" shape is coming back, or will be big this fall... whatever. I don't like sharp talons, but I'll try out this soft almond shape and see how I can function with it.
I painted two coats of Sally Hansen CSM - Lavender Cloud followed by two coats of GOSH Vanilla Ice. I just wanted something soft and shimmery. I really like it.
The nail shape is an adjustment, but like I said I just want to try it out for a few days at least.
So far I didn't take any length of, I just filed the sides in. So technically they are the same length, but they feel much shorter to me than when they are squared. It's really strange. This shape is not that awkward or uncomfortable. They haven't gotten in my way at all really. When I get that urge to cut my nails to nubs, it's usually because those corners are irritating to me. That's probably why they are the weak spots, they get in my way and bear the brunt of any trauma. What do you think about this kind of nail shape?

Love the shape :) and the color!
ReplyDeleteI think the shape is really lovely on you. It makes your nails look so nice with that polish.
ReplyDeleteThe shape is really nice on you! That is the one reason I don't like that shape, it makes my nails feel very short.
ReplyDeleteI like the shape, I think it suits you! And the colour is lovely too!
ReplyDeleteI like the shape. I think it looks really nice on you, along with the color.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI like this shape on you. The colour is very pretty as well!
ReplyDeleteThe shape looks lovely on you, especially with this color!But I agree that this shape tends to let nails look shorter than they actually are.
ReplyDeleteIt is a softer, more natural shape. It goes well with the color. They compliment each other.
ReplyDeleteThe shape looks perfectly natural on you. When I had almond shape nails, I didn't like it too much. My nails naturally have a square shape anyway. And the color is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe color is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWell, personally I just prefer square nails, but this definitely doesn't look bad! The corners of mine are weak too but I can't bear to make them more oval.
ReplyDeletesuper delicate color!
ReplyDeleteI prefer this shape, looks much more natural on you!
ReplyDeleteI'm digging the shape of the nails! Was it hard to do?
ReplyDeleteCool! Regards
ReplyDeleteLove the shape of your nails. That's how I wear mine, I find that the polish doesn't chip as much when they're not squared. Love the color too very pretty.
