How to Create Different Nail Shapes at Home

Whether you typically rock a longer length or shorter nails, nail shape is a very personal decision. For many, it hasn't changed in years. A fresh set of nails can boost your personality and attitude with a little shape-shifting, so don't be afraid to change it up and try something new. New nails or a new mani style can feel as fresh as a brand-new haircut, but with much less risk. Cut your real nails, experiment with gel or try new shapes with acrylics and voilà! Nail and beauty expert Jenna Hipp weighs in on tips for experimenting with different nail shapes both out at home or in the salon. Find out what to ask for when you’re getting your next mani.
