Squoval Nails
This part-oval, part-square shape takes the sharp edges of the square nail and rounds them out, creating a softer look.
Why choose squoval nails?
Squoval nails flatter all fingers and because of this, they never go out of style. They also work with both short and long nails, and they help keep nails strong.

Unlike squares, they don't have sharp edges that catch on things; like ovals, they're very durable. So jam your fingers into all of the tight spaces and wear all of the silky fabrics.
Use a square, oval, or squoval shape as a base for nail art that works in a conservative environment.
Round Nails
Classic round nails combine short lengths with curved edges and tips. Round nails look very similar to oval nails, especially when they're long, but they are more round.

Why choose round nails?
This shape is probably the least likely to break, making it ideal for people who don't want to stop and think before doing something with their hands. Short lengths make them particularly durable.
