suggestions pleas!
i recently got my acrlyics taken off and my nails look terrible, i want to get some put back on but im having trouble deciding if i want to go square again or try rounded, i have fallen in love with the rounded look but my fingers are really boney and i dont want to look like i have witches nails haha.
i used to hate rounded tips but ive seen them all over the internet lately im starting to fall in love, i just cant decide if i want to be daring or not.
Yeah, I'll never like them lol. But there's a couple different styled round tips, they're the vampire stilettos, the ones in the picture, and the natural round tip that will look like your nails have just grown out long. So it really depends on the style you want.
Its not a simple question of round or square, it's the shape of your nail-beds, how long are your fingers, are your hands thin or curvy....small or ample?
Round tips are fashionable at the moment but its always best to go with what works for you. But hey its just nails - give the round tips a try for a change - you may love it
Square tips appear sort or dated to me only because rounded/pointed nails are trendy right now. I also feel like rounded tips are personally more practical and less prone to get in the way because they don't have any sharp edges.
Id say if you want to try, try new shape. As a nail technitian i give personal advice by looking at hands and nail form. Dont make them too long but stil almond shape. If it doesnt work for you, u still can file it down to square
wow i didnt know there was a name for how i do my nails, thanks for posting that chart thing amber. i used to just call them a rounded square but now i can call them squoval, sounds so much cooler lol

I've never liked round tipped acrylics, when it's natural nails I don't mind. But for some reason when it's gel or acrylic, I prefer them square.
