Are you looking to revamp your nail looks with a new nail shape? There are so many to choose from that can really balance out our hand shapes and transform the look of our hands. Below I've put together a few of the most popular nail shapes along with hand shapes that pair best. 

Narrow Hands

Square or Coffin/Ballerina nails can widen the appearance of narrow hands, creating a more balanced and proportional look.

Coffin/Ballerina: Inspired by the shape of a coffin or a ballerina's pointe shoe, coffin nails are long and tapered with a squared-off tip. They're trendy and glamorous. 

Wide Hands

Squoval (a combination of square and oval) or Rounded Square nails can help make wide hands appear more slender and balanced.

Square Oval/Squoval: Squoval nails have straight sides like square nails, but instead of having a sharp, angular tip, they are gently rounded. This rounded edge softens the look of square nails, creating a more natural and subtle shape.

Small Hands

Oval or Round nails work well for small hands as they create the illusion of longer fingers and make the hands appear more delicate.

Large Hands

Almond or Stiletto nails can help balance out the proportions of larger hands by adding length and creating an elongated look.
