Squoval nails, a blend of square and oval shapes, are the ideal choice when unsure about nail styles. Celebrity nail tech Georgia Rae highlights that squoval nails are universally flattering and practical, less prone to breaking due to their rounded corners. They are particularly chic on short to medium nails and enhance various nail colors. Many clients request this versatile shape, making it a top trend that moves beyond fleeting fashions. Rae’s shaping technique suggests starting with slightly longer nails to achieve the perfect squoval look.
Squoval nails are a hybrid of the square and oval nails and the perfect shape choice if you're not sure what suits your hand, says Rae. In fact, it's one of her most-requested nail shapes from her clients. I think it's popular because it's universally flattering, the perfect choice for when you're feeling indecisive and it's also super practical.
While squoval nails work for all nail lengths, they look particularly chic on shorter nails. I find this look is most flattering on a short to medium length nail, where the free edge of the nail is just over the tip of your finger.
To shape your nails into a squoval, start with the nails slightly longer than you would ideally like your final length to be as the shaping will take down the length quite a bit.
Squoval nails are timeless, transcend nail trends and work well with just about every nail colour out there, from sheer pink and milky white nails to burgundy nail colours.
