Square nail ideas
Square nails have straight sides and a flat, straight tip with sharp corners. The shape gives the most surface for nail art and makes French tips look especially crisp, so it is a favorite for bold sets.
Here are square designs shared on Nailterest. Open any design for a closer look, try it on your own hand, or find a salon that offers it.
Questions about square nails
Do square nails suit short fingers?
Square nails can make short or wide fingers look a little wider. If that worries you, try squoval: the same straight edge with softened corners.
Are square nails good for nail art?
Yes. The wide, flat tip gives the most room for lines, French tips and detailed art, which is why many artists like the shape for statement sets.
Do square nails break easily?
The sharp corners can catch and chip. Keeping the length short to medium, or softening the corners slightly, makes them last longer.
