i've never been a fan of round nails...i prefer mine square.....when i used to have fakies i would tell my nail tech to make them "super sharp" on the tips lol
Square but with a rounded edge will give you the best of both, and look sleek and professional. But go for rounded if its a simple less maintenance look becuase sqares nails will break easier. Hope this helped. X
i like mine square because it just suits my nail bed shape best. i also like to keep my nails pretty short, so it looks nicer if it's square. i'm a huge fan of long stiletto style nails though. i think they look so fierce.
Hahaha and because I just think they look so pretty and they don't break as easily, and in my opinion if you have short nail that are rounded they look longer than they do.
I love many nail shapes.. I don't have a favorite, it is more a mood thing:) What I like to do: Let them grow long shaping them square and when they start to break at the edges I file them pointy:)

Rounded, definitely! They're less likely to snag on things and break.

I wear mine square. It actually makes my fingers appear longer. When I used to wear them rounded they would be quick to break off.
