How to make this look yours

Square nails give a clean, flat canvas with sharp corners; a soft square eases those corners for daily wear. See how to shape them, protect the corners, and scale designs.

Square nails have a straight free edge and sharp corners, which gives a clean, modern canvas for color and art. A soft or rounded square keeps the flat top but eases the corners for everyday wear.

The shape needs a little length and a strong free edge to look balanced, and the corners take the most stress, so file them cleanly and keep designs scaled to the flat surface.

Hard vs soft square

A true square looks crisp and graphic; a squoval softens the corners for comfort and fewer snags without losing the flat shape.

Mind the corners

Square corners chip and catch more easily, so keep them filed smooth and finish with a durable topcoat.

Scale designs to the flat top

The wide flat surface suits French tips, color blocking, and centered art; keep detail proportional on shorter nails.
