It's time to call your nail technician because this season's nail trends are already here! Almond-shaped nails, which were briefly forgotten, have become super fashionable and popular again and for good reason. The name comes from the similarity to the delicious nuts we all know - oval at the base and slightly tapered at the end. With this classic fashion trend, you will never go wrong, especially if you prefer medium or long nails. The almond shape gives a special elegance and sophistication and also looks very romantic. Another benefit is that it makes your fingers look slimmer and longer. Read on and be inspired by our great image gallery and tips!
File nails in an almond shape – instructions
There are two ways tothe popular nail shapeavailable - either at your home or in the nail salon. But since not every woman has the time to have her nails done, follow our tips for excellent results!
- Since the nails become shorter and shorter as you file, it is initially necessary to have slightly longer nails. The minimum length we would recommend is around 2-3 cm.
- Start by marking the center point of the tip of your nails with a small dot of nail polish. This makes it much easier to achieve consistent shape.
- Always file in one direction to avoid possible breakages.
- Try moving the file in a slightly curved manner. File toward the center of the nails in a circular motion.
- Then round off the tip as much as you want.
Almond nails or stilettos?
You want long and extravagant fingernails, but you can't decide between themStiletto or almond shapedecide? Stiletto nails have an extremely tapered shape compared to the more feminine and softer tip of almond-shaped nails. Additionally, Almond Nails are more wearable and more suitable for everyday wear.
The nail trend looks so chic
Fingernails in the Gothic Almond Style are the extreme variant of the classic almond shape. The tip of the nail is just as long as the natural nail bed itself. They are very eye-catching and are best suited for a special occasion.
Russian Almond – extremely long fingernails for skilled women’s hands
The Russian Almond nail shape is a further step up from the Gothic Almond. Here the nails are extremely lengthened - the nail tip is more than 100% longer than the natural nail bed. They look almost like stilettos, but because the tip of the nail is slightly rounded, they are generally referred to as Russian Almond Nails. These are hardly suitable for everyday use and are mainly seen at various championships for nail designers.
White nail polish
White Almond Nails are perfect for summer and are a big hit in the fashion world right now. The white color represents simplicity and elegance and gives your hands a particularly glamorous and sophisticated look. Pure white nails are perfect for fairer skin. If you have a darker skin tone, use a soft off-white or try a different color nail.
This nail shape makes even the natural tones look artistic. For the minimalist fashion woman, a nude nail polish is the perfect choice for your almond-shaped nails. It suits any skin tone or clothing and looks so clean and perfect. The sophisticated and subtle look is ideal for both work and the weekend.
