Fingernail Shape French Manicure

French manicure is one of the most popular nail styles at the moment and although it has been around for a very long time, it is still very fashionable. According to manicurists this is the most asked for manicure style. It is so popular because it is very elegant and it is right for any occasion. Plus if you don’t have the opportunity to go to a manicure salon you can easily to it by yourself and most probably it will just as good as the one made by a professional manicurist. You don’t need many things or it, just a base coat and a top coat (that is used in case of every nail polish), a pink nail polish and a white one and maybe you could use some tapes to create the perfectly shaped smile lines.

This is all right up to now, but first you should take care of your nails, meaning that you have to trim them or clip them and file them. At this point you have to decide what shape you would look for your nails to have. There are many options you can choose from, but there are some things that you should know about fingernail shape French manicure.

The nail shape that you have tells a lot about your personality. It is said that those women who have short nails have a masculine personality, an irritable temper and they can’t be easily convinced. Long nails suggest that the person in question is refined, intuitive and creative. Flat nails make you think that the person is very calm. Women who have oval nails are told to be creative, refined and sensible. Rounded fingernails show a strong personality while convex shaped fingernails suggest a frank and reliable personality. Not only does your personality influence this decision, but the health of the nails as well. If you have strong nails then there is nothing you can’t do with them. If you can’t decide which shape to choose the easiest option is to take a look at your lanula (the half moon at the base of the nail) and shape your nails after the shape of the lanula. This will provide a very natural look.

It has been proven that the most popular shape is the square. This shape is always fashionable, but you should know that this shape might make your nails look short is the nails aren’t long enough. In case you have small hands you might want to consider having oval shapes because this shape makes your fingers look longer.

The last shape that I am going to tell you about is the squoval one and this seems to be one of the most popular shapes in America. Still older women prefer oval and round shapes that have been very fashionable in the 1940’s and 1960’s.

I hope that at this point you are able to choose the most suitable shape for your fingernails and don’t forget that the nails are representative for you.
