Nails become art when they’re shaped in various ways and colored with creative and artistic designs. No longer do you have to stick with flat- or almond-shaped nails to be fashionable. Take a look at this amazing array of shapes from which you can choose.
1. Nail Shape Stiletto
Stiletto nails aren’t for everyone, but if you want to complete an image of glamor, these nails can set it off. The nail artist has a wider area to show off unique art and the shape makes fingers look longer and narrower.

2. Almond-Shaped Nails
Almond-shaped nails had gone out of favor for a while because of the new trend of flat-shaped nails. Now, the almond shape is returning and rising in popularity. The bases of the nails are flat and the tips are sharp. You can create a wide variety of artistic styles.

4. Square Nails
Square nails are still popular, although other shapes are taking over. They continue in popularity because they’re more difficult to break and can be a good canvas for nail art. Square nails are a practical choice for a day-to-day nail shape.

5. Mountain Peak Nails
Sharper than almond-shaped nails, the mountain peak nails, are best achieved with artificial, extended nails. The extra-sharp nail end isn’t a good choice for natural nails because the natural ones aren’t strong enough to support them.

Edge nails are created by forming a type of rib on the nail to make it look raised. It’s a shape that’s very popular with fashionistas because it can support a variety of interesting and unusual nail art.
