Changing nail polish is not the only way to vary your nails, after all there are some shapes besides the classic oval and square that you can bet on to give your hands a fresh look. The almond shape is a favorite as it can be adopted by those who have long nails and also by fans of short nails. It takes its name precisely because it resembles an almond.
This shape is a compromise between the oval nail and the stiletto nail. The oval nail runs straight from the base to the tip, being slightly oval at the edges, which sets it apart from the square. The stiletto nail has a triangular shape and is pointed. The latter type is fever among many celebrities, but be careful as it breaks easily and can hurt someone or yourself.
If you want to let your nail grow, the almond shape is ideal because it has no edges, which makes it difficult to break nails, and is also a great option for those who have short and chubby fingers, as they lengthen the fingers, giving the impression that They are longer.
How to model almond nails at home?
If you can't or won't go to a salon to do the hand, follow these steps to get the almond effect:
- Step 1: Make dots in the middle of the nail from the base to the tip. It can be with nail polish, eyeliner or even a small pen
- Step 2: Sand the sides toward the center to make them triangular in shape
- Step 3: Round the tip so it is almond shaped and not stiletto shaped
Although it requires a little patience, it is totally possible to do at home!
