Here’s What Your Favorite Nail Shape Says About You

The nail color you select is important, but the shape can make an ever bigger statement than your shade. Just think about it. Black nails will have a completely different vibe when almond or square.

But what exactly do these shapes reveal about your personality? Continue reading to find out.

Almond

Almond nails have to be the trendiest shape of 2025. If you opt for these, you constantly know what's hot and happening in the world. You're the person who's first in line when a new boutique opens, and you probably binge the biggest television series on the day it premieres. No matter what, your friends can count on you to give them the inside scoop.

 

Round

Travel back to the '50s, '70s or '00s, and you'll find thousands of women sporting a round nail. It's a truly timeless shape and signals you're a creature of habit. You're loyal to the things that work for you, regardless of how society perceives them. It makes you a great friend and partner to have—you'll always have your loved ones' backs.

Stiletto

Stiletto nails turn the plainest manicures into a moment. Look at Maleficent—she wouldn't be complete without the fierce point on her nails. Much like the stiletto shape, you like to be bold and take risks. You don't mind being the center of attention or going against the popular opinion.

 

Coffin

We're not sure if we know anyone that wears coffin nails and isn't a total it girl. This nail shape effortlessly combines femininity with confidence and luxury. We wouldn't be surprised if you had an expansive closet and a collection of handbags to match this aura of opulence. Oh, and is that Baccarat Rouge we smell?

 

Square

Corporate girlies, you tell everyone you mean business with this subtle style choice. The person who has square nails is a class act, but she is also willing to stand her ground. Don't put her in a classic shade like OPI's Bubble Bath or Chanel's Vamp. Her girlboss vibes will increase tenfold.

 

Duck

Despite having a revival in the past decade, duck nails are still one of the most polarizing shapes to request. But the backlash doesn't deter you, meaning you are someone who doesn't follow trends. You carve your own path, regardless if its traditional or viral. You also have an eccentric collection of clothes and likely pursue an unorthodox career path.
