Frequently Asked Questions
Why is almond the most flattering nail shape?
The tapered sides visually lengthen the finger while the rounded tip keeps it soft, not sharp — it suits short and long nail beds alike.
Should I choose short or long almond?
Short almond is office- and life-friendly and the fastest-growing length; long almond gives more drama and canvas for art. When between sizes, always go down.
Do almond press-ons suit wide nail beds?
Yes — almond actually narrows the visual width of a wider bed. Correct sizing (measure the widest point) is the key to a flush fit.
