i think a little more almondy would look great on you, but if you like square better thats just how you like it, no reason to change it up then :’)


Gtinchen

Thanks for your recommendation ☺️ I changed because some edges of my squares broke so I had to do ovals 😅 You’re right, almonds could look great but I am not certain whether my length of nail could be enough for a great almond set 😖

Maybe try squoval (square with rounded edges). I do that because the tips of the squared edges always broke on me. I am also trying to grow mine out and am wondering if I should venture beyond squoval to oval or coffin so I will be interested to see what you land on.


Gtinchen

You’re definitely right, a square with slightly rounded edges is what I do most of the time since they’re easier for every day life tasks 😊 and I somehow managed to screw them up too. 😅 I’d say it depends on the length of your nails (especially nail bed), if the nails are longer then both are fine. Guess coffin is more a trendy form and squovals/ovals are more classy 💅


arpt1965

I was lucky to be blessed with long nail beds and when I was younger my nails grew long without any effort on my part. As I’ve gotten older they’ve become more brittle (and a year of nonstop gel didn’t help). So now I’m trying to get my nails healthier, longer and use polish at home instead (I’ve never been good at this so it will be interesting to see how I do)

Almond is always my favorite shape BUT I think the square actually looks so much better on you!


Gtinchen

Yeah right? I love a classy oval/round shape but I am one of a few who can butcher this 😂 Thank you for your honest opinion! 🙏🏼


Koloristik

Since this is my favourite shape, I like it on you a lot. And the colour!


Gtinchen

Thanks a lot! 🙏🏼 I do like oval shapes on other people (especially on people with thin and long fingers), I feel like my nails looks so much bulkier with oval shapes tho 😅


Kmw134

We have a similar nail shape, so I get it. It’s like the free edge of the nail fans out a bit, so it’s wider at the top than the base. It’s not a perfectly symmetrical oval no matter how much I try to shape it. But square (ish) looks perfect every time and never fails me.


Gtinchen

Yes yes yes, you’re on point! Since the nail tip is wider than the nail root, the shape will always look weird - the only thing is to let the nails grow a bit and then taper them so the shape looks balanced, at this length you can’t really cover the imbalance of the shape 😒


papayaa2

I think both suit you but square looks mad cute on you!!


Gtinchen

Aww thanks so much 🙏🏼


East-Reputation-9456

I like the square but you could definitely do almond


Gtinchen

Thanks for your recommendation, will def try once my nails are a bit longer 💅


Necessary_Nothing471

I think both look great!


Gtinchen

That’s cute of you, thanks 🙏🏼


datuwudo

I way prefer square too. I tried oval and regretted it so much. It made my fingers look way too long and skinny.


Gtinchen

But but but… I really love long and skinny fingers 🥹 mine would look like wieners without nicely done nails 😂 but yeees girl, i do feel u


datuwudo

Wieners! That’s tickled me haha. Mine aren’t slender and elegant skinny though think more E.T.


Gtinchen

ET 😂 Now you gave me a laugh 💅


Kostrowska

Soft square gang 🐱💅


Gtinchen

Yesss 💅🤍


AmyHill666

I love the square! BUT that being said the oval still looks great on you! I get why you prefer the square tho, it’s a preference thing. I’m the same way


Gtinchen

Thank you so much ✨🤍 yeah I honestly think the square suits me better but ovals are pretty on other people 💅💅


mshoneybadger

More pointy!!! But good God your hands are pretty


Gtinchen

You’re absolutely right, I have to taper my nails a bit when they’re a bit longer, they look to bulky right now 😕 and omg thanks so much, really appreciate your comment as I always feel as if my fingers are to “wienery” 😂🙏🏼


mshoneybadger

I like them weiners


kinezumi89

I think if they were a little more almondy and less round you might like them more! But square does look great on you :)


Gtinchen

Thank you very much 🤍🙌🏼


Different-Elephant-9

Shockingly the square. I usually can’t stand square nails but they way you have them in the 3rd photo, they look really good and seem to suit your nails.


Gtinchen

So glad to hear that, thanks a lot 💅


NiaNeuman

I prefer square, too. Every time I try another shape, I reshape them as soon as possible. 🤣 I love square on you!


Gtinchen

I feel you so much, I’m currently trying to combat the need to redo them because the set took me hours 😂and thanks so much girl 🙌🏼


OkCalligrapher6373

I like the square better too! I usually choose squaval, and just let people thing I’m out of style.


Gtinchen

Oh girl, squoval and almond will never be out of style, they’re timeless 🤍✨


Kaitlin_Orsted

I prefer square nails too. Oval just doesn't look natural on me.


sheokay

I agree, the squares look much better than the ovals. I think it's because the top of your nail is not as wide as the free edge so they look vaguely triangular. I don't know if that makes sense but the square looks balanced in contrast.


Gtinchen

Thanks for your opinion! 🙏🏼 yeah, it does make perfect sense! I think the bulkiness will “disappear” once I will taper my free edge but prob my length is right now not enough for that 💅

Also, I love the telephone box! What is it? I love those and I am part British :)


Gtinchen

Hahah thanks! 🇬🇧 I was visiting London the other day and I thought I need to bring some magnets home as they were so cute 😄


alaska_cattt

Square looks amazing on you! They look very polished and well done. And you have such nice nails btw! :)


Gtinchen

Thank you so much, it took me hours to get the micro Frenchies done but it was worth it! ✨


krissycole87

I think they both look great! Sometimes just takes a little getting used to if you always have square normally. I think you pull both shapes off very well but if you like square there's nothing wrong with that too 😊


Gtinchen

Thank you very much 🤍 yes indeed, it will take a while to get used to new shapes and hopefully I will like my ovals soon 😄


tower_wendy

I *LOVE* oval and almond nails but a squared tip definitely suits your finger shape best. Maybe oval was too big of a jump from square? Possibly a squoval would’ve been a less dramatic transition. Either way I know what it’s like to absolutely hate your nails and you notice them every other second.


Gtinchen

Thank you so much for your honest response 🤍🙌🏼 and yes I can relate so much, especially after doing a new set you will look at your nails every five minutes and if you hate them… well you’ll hate them every five minutes 😂


Constant_Assignment2

Haha are you me? Tapered Square is my preferred shape and I changed to oval/ round as well because I wanted to try to follow my natural shape instead. It's taking everything in me not to square my corners lol. But on the plus side, I find it easier to type with longer round nails rather than my long square nails so less typos this time around.


Gtinchen

Omg really? 😂 Yeeeees saaaaame, I’m combating the urge to file down everything so much because I want to let them grow for a week or two to taper my oval a bit so they don’t look too bulky 😂 I haven’t realised any differences when typing on my phone but that’s a good point, I’ll see tmr in the office whether typing will be smoother on the laptop


Constant_Assignment2

Oh I still make typo mistakes on my phone (i switched to android like a year ago and I have significantly more typos than when I used iphone lmao). I use a standard Lenovo computer desk keyboard for my job and I can't get the flat finger typing method down well enough so I ended up buying a silicone keyboard cover so I have a grip now! I have my jojoba oil and lotion at my desk because I'm always oiling cuticles and moisturizing so yeah I was done with getting my keys greasy whilst typing lol.


Damnshesfunny

I’m a square girl and my fingers kind of take on the same shape when i do oval. Get. It. But if we’re honest with ourselves, its because we’re nitpicking. They look perfectly beautiful for now and you can go back next set.


Gtinchen

Hahah u r absolutely right, but on the other side our nails are ✨ARTWORKS✨ so they have to be perfect 😍


mmesuggia

Honestly ive never liked oval shaped nails…ive seen them look great on others but on my nails they just look old-lady-ish. And i AM an old(er) lady 😳💅🏻😎


Gtinchen

I guess oval are so classy and elegant that they remind some of “old times” hence they can appear a bit “old” but I do love ovals on people with prettier hands and fingers than mine 😂🤍

Gtinchen

Hahah thank you so much!! 💅 indeed, at the end of the day they’re your nails


[deleted]

I always love square! Oval looks so odd and claw-like to me 😂


Gtinchen

I guess it depends on the fingers tho, mine stay wieners even with oval nails 😂 but yeah, guess I’m a square nail girl


feb25bride

I am the same way. I see this natural oval shape (or whatever other shapes really) on people and think they look so nice, but I feel weird with anything but square or squoval. And these do look good on you too, but I agree, square!


Gtinchen

I guess we all have to find the shape that fit us the best, ovals are cute but just not for us tho 😪 thanks a mil!


Glum-Manufacturer-58

I think oval nails are the best for strength and nail growth, and they do look nice on you, but I ADORE your square nails in the last picture! I’ve actually just changed my nails to square shape today and I’m loving them!! (I usually go oval/almond)


Gtinchen

Oh really? Then at least I hope for some healthy nail growth and strength with my ovals this time 😄 Thanks so much!! And yes, squares can be super cute too, welcome to the square squad! 😂


itorogirl16

Square looks amazing on you!


Gtinchen

Thanks a lot! 🙏🏼


emilysn0w

Square always screams fake.


Gtinchen

Well I must say… my ovals aren’t authentic either 😂


CozyAsh

They look good but i think square looks better


Gtinchen

Thanks a lot 🙌🏼


Watermelon-ina-sanga

The oval looks good but idk if it’s the shape or colour but the square look amazing


Gtinchen

Thanks, really appreciate it!! 💅


RaspberryMobile2554

I do prefer the square on you.


Gtinchen

Me too and thanks!!


Dollbeau

Never a fan of rounding.... Edit: & your square looks SO HOT!


Gtinchen

I just can’t rock them 😅 And thanks so much!!


Open_Injury_1801

The squares look great on you. Kind of hate the ovals too lol


Gtinchen

Thank you 🙌🏼


MadameAshlini

Square is my fave, but sometimes when they get long and the edges busted up you gotta spice it up with some ovals.


Gtinchen

That’s why I ended up having ovals this time 😂


amandalynnwin

I love the squares how you have them. Wouldn’t change a thing


Gtinchen

Thanks 🙏🏼


[deleted]

Both look great on you! Do whatever you’d like!! I’ve been having the same dilemma. Think I may go oval for a little to see how I like it.


Noseyparker2021

I also hate oval and am a fan of square nails. That is my go to shape. I think that looks best on you and you should change back 😎


Gtinchen

Def won’t wear these ovals forever, I’ll be back to my squares 😄 thanks a mil 🙏🏼


Mariangela_M

Imho, the oval elongates your fingers and it looks overall more balanced than the square. I'd definitely wear the oval/almond shape instead.


Gtinchen

Thanks for your honest opinion 🤍🙏🏼 I do like ovals as they elongate short and stubby fingers like mine but i think I have to let them grow and then file them to an almond shape, right now I feel like they look too bulky 😅


Mariangela_M

You're welcome! I'm sure your hands will look super nice. :D
