Don't know which nail shape best fits your style? How you file your fingertips can be just as important as the color or design you paint. From pointy diva digits to short sporty tips, we explore which popular celebrity nail shapes fit each personality type.
Divas such as Lady Gaga, Fergie, and Beyoncé all sport long, pointy talons. This flashy style—also know as the stiletto nail because of the manicure’s spiky, tapered shape—gives more space for detailed designs.
Short and sweet! Busy or always active Beauties such as Taylor Swift (imagine what strumming a guitar daily can do to your fresh paint job!) and Vanessa Hudgens don't have time to fret over a broken or chipped nail. Small, rounded tips allow the ends—which are below the fingertips—to be better protected.
Lauren Conrad and Kate Middleton may have vastly different polish styles, but they both enjoy the most popular modern nail shape: the squoval. A compromise between harsher square edges and softer rounded tips, the casual yet sophisticated look works well with medium to long nails.
With well-defined, structured edges, the square shape is sexy and daring. Flirty celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian have been known to flaunt the aggressive style.
My nails break so easily that is depressing. I hate it! My type would be 'Girl Next Door', even though 'Ladylike' is the one I like the most. Does anyone have a tip for weak fingernails? Even running my hands through my hair is disastrous. :(
It might sound a tad bit odd, but garlic could be the answer you're looking for! The cheaper option is buying some unpeeled cloves of garlic. Crush a few open with the palm of your hand to remove most of the husk until the fleshy part appears and run the sap over your nails. Try to avoid frozen cloves since they don't work as well as if they were fresh. I've also seen a few garlic-infused topcoats/treatments out there in case the previous option seems a bit daunting, but they could be a bit pricier. It also tends to prevent yellowing...hope this helps! :]
I am ladylike, I have short fingers, and this shape helps elongate them. Square just makes them look shorter. The fashionista is just not practical, I have a house and family to take care of lol. Even if I didn't have to do much, I still wouldn't choose that shape, it just isn't pretty IMO.
i'm definitely the girl next door but a fashionista in the making hahaha i have this nervous tick of picking at the skin around my nails that im trying to brake so my fingers always have hang nails and look awful, not to mention just when my nails start to grow they chip or brake lol
I'm a mix between ladylike and girl next door. Also....the fashionista nails kind of creep me out a bit. But kudos to those who have the kahunas to try it!

I'm naturally "ladylike" but I love the square tips of the "center of attention" nails. I wish my nails grew like that naturally.
