Square Nail Designs

About square nail designs

Square nails have straight sides and a flat tip. The shape is strong, modern and gives a wide, even surface, which is why French tips, color blocking and line art look so crisp on it. Square suits long, slim fingers and narrow nail beds best. On wider nail beds, ask for softened corners, often called squoval. Keep square nails short to medium so the corners do not catch.

This collection currently holds 48 square designs: most are short and medium in length, the usual finishes are glossy and matte, the leading colors are nude and black.
