Nail Shape Guide

Square Nails

Bold and modern with clean lines

Square nails make a bold statement with their straight, clean edges and flat tips. This modern shape is characterized by sharp corners and a strong, geometric appearance that exudes confidence. Square nails are particularly popular for their ability to showcase intricate nail art designs and bold colors. The shape works best on longer nails and strong nail beds, as it requires more length to achieve the proper proportions. While they demand more maintenance than rounded shapes, square nails offer a contemporary, fashion-forward look that's perfect for making a statement.
