The appearance of your nails plays an important role in the beauty of your hands. Having beautiful nails enhances your appearance, showing that you take care of yourself and are confident. Your nails are also a way to express your style and creativity. Wearing artificial nails can therefore help you achieve this goal.
Depending on the shape of your hands and fingers and the shape of your natural nails, you are probably wondering which shape of false nails you should choose in order to have the most harmonious hands and nails possible.

Choosing the right shape of false nails:

For hands or large fingers

If you have wide hands or fingers , you might be looking to slim your fingers and elongate the appearance of your hands. In that case, consider rounded or ballerina-shaped nails, also known as "coffin nails." Rounded artificial nails will help soften the angles of your nails and create a more harmonious look, while ballerina-shaped nails will contribute to a more balanced and elegant appearance because they have a square base that tapers towards the tips.

Square-shaped nails are best avoided as they give your fingers and hands a rough look.

For average-sized hands and fingers

If your hands and fingers are of average size , then you are free to wear any shape of false nails . However, we suggest opting for oval, almond-shaped, or ballerina-shaped false nails if you wish to further slenderize your hands.

Ballerina false nails combine a square base with tapered tips, creating a modern and trendy look. Oval false nails elongate your fingers and give them an elegant and feminine appearance, while almond-shaped false nails create a long, slightly pointed silhouette, adding a touch of sophistication.

For slender hands and fingers

Finally, if you have slender hands and fingers , then any shape of false nails will suit you perfectly. For example, you can wear square false nails, which will give your hands a clean and classic look while creating the illusion of slightly longer nails.

Choosing the length of press-on nails:

If your natural nails are very short or bitten

We recommend opting for only short false nails. On your hands, the result will be similar to long or medium-sized nails.

If your natural nails are rather short

In this case you can choose short false nails, medium-sized false nails or long false nails for a weekend or an evening.

If your nail base is of average size and not too short

You can absolutely wear short, medium, or long false nails. All styles will suit you! If your natural nail base is very large, that is, if it's more than 1.5 cm, then long false nails are the best choice. In fact, medium-length false nails will be almost the same length as your natural nails. You can even try very long false nails to give your hands an even more elongated appearance.

False nails can therefore create more sophisticated and harmonious hands if the choice of shape for the false nails is consistent.

Indeed, some nail shapes are better suited to certain nail lengths than others. For example, ballerina nails are generally associated with long nails.

However, the choice of shape remains personal, but a nail technician will be able to guide you and give you the right advice to make your hands as beautiful as possible.

Beyond the choice of shape, the choice of color is also very important! Discover our article on this subject .
