How to wear almond nails

Almond nails taper from a wide base to a soft, rounded point. The shape slims fingers and suits almost every nail bed, which is why it works with everything from nudes to chrome.

Medium length is the easiest almond to maintain; very long almonds usually need acrylic, builder gel or press-ons for strength.

  • File from the sides toward the center, never back and forth.
  • French tips and ombre follow the almond curve beautifully.
  • A short almond is the best starter shape if your nails break easily.
