According to an article by goodhousekeeping, there are 9 main nail shapes: round, square, rounded square, oval, squoval, ballerina, almond, stiletto, and lipstick.
Manicures are now at the point where they’ve definitely seen better days, which means it’s probably finally time to pull out your nail kit and tackle those chips once and for all. But if you’ve been overloaded with nails ideas as of late, you might be in need of some fresh inspo to inspire your next manicure.
Heading to the nail salon is always a treat, but with so many shaping options, it can be a little overwhelming to choose. Should you do almond? Try square? Squoval? Here are ten celebrity nail trends you would love to adapt.
Beyonce’s Nail style
Megan Thee Stallion’s nail styles
Megan Thee Stallion really wasn’t lying when she said she always needs to switch up her look. Not long after posing for a photo with bedazzled, blue jelly nails on Instagram, the rapper showed off a new set of nail art over and over again with a much more intricate design.
Kim Kardashian’s Favorite Nail Polish Color
Kardashian is a style chameleon, and though her makeup typically revolves around a nude color palette, she tends to experiment with color in other ways. Look at any red-carpet appearance, Insta post, or street style shot and it’s easy to see she’s not scared of trying trends many people would run away from. This attitude has translated to her nails in the form of ocean-inspired acrylics, highlighter yellow manicures, and ultra-long nail extensions.
Hailey Bieber’s Baby Blue Nail
Hailey recently shared a few pictures from a picnic excursion with her Instagram followers, where her nail polish took center stage. The shade — a bright robin egg blue — punctuated her entire outfit, which was composed of retro-inspired flared jeans and a white crop top. Filed into an almond shape, the hue was far more reminiscent of a spring or summer shade than one destined for the looming fall season.
Bieber has played around with her nails a lot during quarantine, sticking to no particular trends, and this is one of several times that she’s shared colorful shade choices and adorable designs.
Rihanna’s nail style
Lizzo’s nail styles
Lizzo’s best nail art looks are exactly that: tiny works of art that will make you stop in your tracks and stare. On Instagram, the singer has been debuting manicures that are elaborate, playful, and inspiring, and she’s even worn a few of them on red carpets.
Kylie Jenner’s nail styles
There are very few people on the planet who can spark a new trend to the degree that Kylie Jenner can. Thanks to her Instagram follower base of 196 million (which continues to rapidly grow), one post from her can cause endless imitations of her hair, makeup, and nails. In the past year alone, those perpetually manicured hands have inspired a slew of new nail-art trends and has also reignited some that were otherwise dormant: drip nails, butterfly nails, and tie-dye nails don’t even scratch the surface of her impact on the nail world.
