Almond shaped nails can look edgy, chic, or a combination of both. And the cool thing about this particular nail shape, unlike stiletto, ballerina, or coffin shapes which generally work better with long nails, is they’re easy to do on both long and short nails and still look great. Such a shape never goes out of style, just like square nails, and if you wanna try it, let’s find out how to make such a shape and what the trendiest design ideas for such nails are.
Are Almond Nails Oval Ones?
While oval nails have a round tip and stiletto nails have an exaggerated pointed tip, an almond nail shape is pointier than an oval but not as pointy or as long as a stiletto. So, in trying to decide which manicure to get, when oval nails feel too bland, and stiletto nails feel too extra, almond shaped nails are a happy compromise.

How To Shape Almond Nails?
Be mindful of symmetry as you’re shaping to avoid uneven almond nails. Take care not to clip away too much from each side, or you’ll end up with pine nuts instead of almonds. Start at the “corner” where the rounded edge begins on the side of the nails, which should be just far enough from where the skin meets the nail bed. File upwards to round out each side. Then gently file the tip into a softly curved point (like an almond!).
