Getting a set of acrylics or a simple gel manicure can automatically transform your entire look. Who doesn’t love beautifully done nails, right? I am going to break down the five main nail shapes and pair them with five fun colors that will have you ready for spring!

1. Square

This nail shape is one of my favorites! The square-shaped nail is very clean and classic. You can’t go wrong with this look!

3. Square Round

This shape is much like the classic square nail, only adding rounded edges. This nail shape gives a softer, elegant look for those times you're feeling classy!

4. Pointed

The pointed or almond shaped nail is all the rage in Hollywood. Celebs are always caught rocking this extremely edgy look. Stunt these nails and you’ll run with the A-listers!

5. Oval

If the pointed shape was a bit too hard core for your liking, the oval shape is perfect for you! This shape is a softer version of the pointed nail, with a curved top.

Whether you want to sport these five different acrylic nail shapes or simply want to rock your natural nails with a gel manicure, you must take time to think of the perfect nail color! Here are nail colors perfect for spring time!

1. Soft Neutrals

You can never go wrong with neutrals! Neutrals work all year long but look even better on a nice, sunny, afternoon during spring time!

Tulane University

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet.

And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
