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. I'll have a blood orange ombré. Picaso Nails

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!

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.
