If you are constantly typing or using your phone, a shorter almond or round shape is often more practical, while our bolder coffin or stiletto sets are perfect when you have a bit more freedom to play. ### Understanding Your Nail Shape At our GK studio, we believe the best nail shape is one that balances your aesthetic goals with your daily lifestyle. During your appointment, we always start with a brief consultation to assess your nail bed width and what you actually do with your hands all day. Here is a quick look at the most popular shapes we create: * **Round & Oval:** These are the ultimate low-maintenance options. They are soft, classic, and less prone to chipping or snagging, making them a solid choice for everyday wear. * **Almond:** This shape mimics the natural curve of the nail bed, which helps elongate fingers. It is perfect if you want something elegant that still feels functional. * **Square:** A crisp, modern classic. Square nails provide a strong, flat edge that looks particularly good with shorter to medium-length extensions. * **Coffin (Ballerina):** This is a bold, trendy shape that squares off at the tip. It provides a larger canvas, making it a favorite for intricate art and 3D designs. * **Stiletto:** For those who want high-drama, the stiletto tapers to a sharp point. It is striking and fun, though it requires a bit of adjustment if you are not used to wearing length. ### Why Shape Matters Every set we do starts with our signature dry Russian-style manicure. We clean up the cuticles and prep the nail plate so that whatever shape you choose, the transition from your natural nail to the extension is seamless. If you are stuck, tell us your daily routine—we will guide you to a shape that looks great and lasts until your next refill. ## About The Nail Affair I am the founder of The Nail Affair here in GK.
