YOUR NAIL -SHAPE PERSONALITY

My eyes usually stop on one of the following three, in the specific order: the nails, the bag and the shoes. The latter two, it’s more of a fashion-related thing specific to most of us, but nails facinate me beyond limits – not only the color but most of all the shape and sometimes, the length- only when the best word to define it is “outrageous” -of the nails can sometimes haunt me for hours. 

To give my nail-freak behavior a useful purpose, I decided to check out the significance of the most common nail shapes and the personality of those who adopt them. Taking things to new heights, I selected ten of this season’s most beloved nail colors, matching each shape to its best-suited hue. I posted my list down below, so next time you ask for squoval nails you’ll be aware of what it says about you.

Let me know your opinion, does the shape of your nails matches your personality?

OVAL

 You’re seen as a creative, pacifist and beyond-versatile gal who’s not afraid of trying challenging outdoor activities but also loves embracing her feminine side, taking advantage of every chance to be romantic and elegant. Seems like things couldn’t look better for you: spending your Friday evening at a picnic date on the beach – know it sounds like the biggest cliché ever, but so does WONER WOMAN – dressed in nothing but a silver Saint Laurent mini, drinking champagne and starring at the moon and the stars – of course you had to pick a starry night, with no cloud on the sky – attending the Saturday morning cooking course – where you, of course are the teacher – and spending the Sundays at a kickball game with the guys – of course you play kickball better than any of your friends. After this demo of perfection, you’d need some pretty-perfect nail polishes to match your character – Nude, Tie-Dye Orange, Dusty Pink and Teal would do the thing for you.

ALMOND

 There’s no secret you like to look pretty and love being in the center of attention –well, who doesn’t? – Unfortunately – for the nature freaks, not for you- you’re most likely not the feminine version of Indiana Joe, preferring more of the risk-free activities. This doesn’t mean you don’t like to have fun; it’s just that fun has a different connotation for you – a glamorous one. The nail polishes who would rise to your trend-setter attitude are: bloody red, metallic, royal blue.

ROUND

Hopeless romantic, elegant and honest are the words who would describe you better – favoring timeless pieces over up-and-coming trends, you are considered a reliable person, ready to give a hand whenever someone’s in need. Don’t forget to take care of your own needs, as no one’s gone do it better than you. Even though you’re lucky enough to be able to perfectly rock any of the nail polishes of the above, try to make a statement from time to time, leaving aside the nude and the dusty pink, opting for brown, bloody red and grey instead.

SQUARE

Serious, confident, bold, always searching for challenges – you seem to have the character of a true leader. Still, your strong personality could alienate the others if you don’t stop bossing around and smile, even for just a few minutes. With you, what you see is what you get so keep staying true to yourself and the values you cherish, by embracing some off fall’s best neutrals: brown, grey and nude.

SQUOVAL

 Somewhere between square and oval – pretty undecided here, miss – this type of nail shape states you’re ambitious and idealist – nothing about your indecision, huh? – You also like experimenting the newest, wildest trends without carrying too much of what the others have to say about that. Although you seem to enjoy making statements more than anything else, there’s nothing wrong playing the au-naturel game from time to time, just to see how it feels. I said sometimes, but not this time since the season’s nail polishes seem to be made for gals like you: try the INK ROYAL BLUE and PURPLE will fit your requirements like a glove.
