Acrylic nail polishes aren't just a speck of my appearance They're also a reflection of changing trends in my nails. Over time my nail designs have changed from the simple almond to the bold stiletto and, more recently, the multi-faceted oval. The most recent option was not a conscious one resulted from an indecisive moment at a hair salon. I was unable to decide between a stiletto with a gun-like look or a more soft, natural style. Luckily, my manicurist took the initiative, sculpting each of my nails to a multi-faceted oval shape before presenting the nail to me with a happy smile. I was completely sold.
This experience in a salon has inspired me to research nailshapes 2024 and I reached out to some of the most famous manicurists Hang Nguyen and
Tara Haye of Nailing Hollywood, along with manicurist and educator Julie
Kandalec to get their opinions. Three experts agree they believe that
"softer" shapes are the trending ones, while the sharp silhouettes,
such as my stiletto nails are fading away.
"I think this may be because of the surge in popularity
of lower-maintenance beauty routines," says Nguyen. "Dramatic shapes
are less aligned with the current mainstream beauty trends."
However, regardless of what's trending, it's best to pick
the nail shape that gives you the most satisfaction, regardless of whether it's
delicate or striking. If, however, you're determined to keep up with fashions
like I am follow this article for information from experts on which nails are
in fashion for 2024. The article will include photos of inspiration, nail
length guidelines, and much more.
Almond
Based on our three manicurists the almond-shaped manicure
has been identified as the most desirable nail style to lust after this season.
If you're new to the shape of their nails the almond-shaped nail has slim sides
and a curly top with a slender point. It's a favorite among lovers of
lengthening enhancements, such as gel extensions or acrylics. Nguyen explains
that the mid-length length is the most sought-after length for a nail with an
almond shape however, you can alter the length to suit your hand.
Kandalec concurs and strongly recommends an almond-shaped
shape that is mid-length for people with smaller fingers as the shape makes
your fingers appear larger. However, she warns that finding the proper balance
in visuals is crucial as too long fingers could cause shorter fingers to appear
larger.
Oval
Almond nails aren't the only rounded style gaining
attention: Nguyen says that short-to-medium-length oval nails are trending,
too. They are similar to almond nails, but the main distinction is that the
oval features an extended base and more rounded round tips, making the nail a
more natural appearance.
Soft Square or Squoval
The soft square nails (also called "squoval"
nails) are "similar to square nails, but they have a softer look due to
the slightly rounded edges," says Nguyen. The shape "enhances the
natural beauty of the fingers" and is also displaying elegance. In
contrast to almond nails that tend to be paired with enhancements to the nails,
Nguyen and Kandelec note that the soft square design is often applied to
natural, nail workmanship, though nails with enhancements are taking note of the new
trend.
Square
Although Kandalec admits that we're still not yet but it appears we're headed towards an all-out retro revival. "I am
starting to see the square nail shape coming back," she claims and
describes the style as "very '90s." For a gradual transition into the
style go for the more gentle square shape first.
Ballerina or Coffin
You've probably heard the words "ballerina" and
"coffin" which refer to a specific nail shape. These two terms refer
to a similar style that tapers into straight, squared-off tips. Kandalec says
that this design is popular among people who love longer nails and is ahead of
the popular Retro revival style. Kandalec warns that this shape is only
suitable for nail extensions it's because sculpting an apex (the arch at the
center of the nail) seems to defy the rules of natural nail physical physics.
