How to choose the right nail shape for you?

Choosing the right nail shape is not just a question of style: you also need to take into account your body shape, your daily habits and your lifestyle. To help you choose the nail shape that suits you, Maryton will give you some helpful guidelines.

Here are some tips to help you find the shape that will suit you perfectly, based on different criteria.

According to the shape of your hands

Long and thin fingers: Square and stiletto shapes are perfect, as they accentuate the natural length and add an elegant side.
Short and thick fingers: Opt for shapes that visually lengthen, such as almond or ballerina nails. These refined shapes bring elegance and balance the hand.
Wide hands: Oval or almond nails create a thinner and more graceful effect. Shapes that are too square can accentuate the width, so opt for curves.
Small hands: If you have small hands, round or rounded square shapes work well for a discreet and neat look without visually weighing down the fingers.

According to my lifestyle

Your daily life also plays a role in the choice of your nail shape. If you play sports, work often with your hands, or type a lot on a keyboard, certain shapes will be more suitable than others.

Active life and sport: If you play sports or use your hands a lot, round or rounded square nails are ideal. They are easy to maintain and are more resistant to shocks.
Office work (computers, writing): Square or oval shapes work well, because they are practical and unlikely to interfere with typing.
Artists and designers: If you like bold looks and have more freedom, stiletto and ballerina shapes can suit you for original creations.
Handicrafts: If you frequently use your hands for DIY or manual tasks, opt for a short and rounded shape, such as round nails, to minimize the risk of breakage.

According to your personal style

Your personal style is also an important criterion. The shape of your nails can complement your look and your character:

Natural style: Round or oval nails adapt well to simple and elegant looks.
Sophisticated style: Almond or ballerina nails are ideal for a chic and glamorous look.
Bold style: For a unique and assertive style, try stilettos or long shapes. Perfect for fans of nail art and original trends!

By considering all these criteria – body type, lifestyle and personal tastes – you can find the nail shape that will suit you perfectly. Do not hesitate, take out your manicure set and try out different shapes to find the one that suits you best!
