What do your nails say about you?

What do
your nails say about you? Nail
trends come and go, but often we stick to our go-to shape without a second
thought. Read on to find out what our favoured nail shape says about us and
which you should really be trying. Round - This classic shape is says it
all; you've worked the same style for some time and you most likely stuck with
the same manicurist for years. Your wardrobe isn’t as pedestrian; you favour
timeless over trend-based pieces and you like your nails to take a backseat to
your sartorial choices. Tip: This can be used to make hands
that are a little bigger look smaller as it directs the eye down the natural
contour of the finger. Try
this: The round
shape suits most nail types and is the perfect base for trying out new shades
and textures. Square - This shape is overall less subtle
than the pointed or oval-based shapes so you’re probably the type of person who
doesn’t mind trying loud colours or exploring nail art. Your style runs the
same course with experimental or statement pieces. Tip: The key is to avoid making
nails look shorter which is what this shape tends to do. Try filing the sides
of nails to keep this look long and elegant, not stunted. Try this: If you have a narrow nail bed, but steer clear if your nails are on the wider side as it won’t flatter. Stiletto - You’ve been watching the ins and
outs of the nails world closely and know this is the shape has been steadily
gaining momentum since seen on the spring/summer '13 runways. You don’t shy
from the spotlight, so that’s why Lana Del Ray, Rihanna and Nicole Richie
favour the same style. If you’re matching this with a simple evening look and
not OTT trophy jackets, you’re on the right track. Tip: Avoid dark colours like black and
semi-black purples and reds. Think haute, rather than Halloween. Try this: If you have a short nail bed as the space needed to create the tip adds length. Pointed
- A diluted
version of the stiletto nail, this is for those with modern taste. Quality is
important to you, and you won’t go for anything that looks dated or vintage.
This softer version of the stiletto has a future-classic appeal that suits you
perfectly. Tip: Don’t grow nails longer than a
centimeter past your finger tip or you’ll be treading close to tacky. Try this: If you have a wider nail bed this one is for you as it draws the eye to the narrowing tip. Squoval
(square-oval) - You’re not into experimenting and
you like the status quo. Simple, elegant and halfway between a rounded and
square nail your manicure matches your style that errs on the classic side
which you update regularly with seasonal accessories. Tip: You can alter this style to suit
your finger shape. Go slightly more rounded if you have wide nails and if you
have a thinner nail width you can afford to go more square. Try this: If you want a simple wear-anywhere shape, or if you're a fence-sitter between an oval and a square (the best of both worlds!) We
look forward to seeing you at Lexie’s and experimenting with your nail shape
and colours. Colour of the week at
