The squoval is 2015’s hottest shape. Part oval, part square, the shape is essentially a typical square but with the edges rounded out for a softer, more natural look. With “natural” being the name of the beauty game this year, from hair to makeup, it’s perhaps no surprise that the nail shape du jour followed suit. “After more-daring trends like long pointed nails that have become popular the past few years , we’ve been seeing a return to basics, with a much more natural, toned-down look, both in nail shape and color,” says Far. “Shorter, well-shaped nails are trending this year. A slightly squared oval shape (also known as the squoval) that goes to fingertip length is popular. And shorter, well-shaped nails always look timeless, clean, and polished-looking,”.
“We saw so many unexpected, bold color choices last year, and those tend to work on sportier nail shapes best. Now, it's all about the new neutrals and a more ladylike squoval to elongate the fingers for a more feminine look.” The bottom line? Whether you have long, thin fingers or shorter, stubbier digits, the squoval can work for you. The former can go shorter, just to fingertip length, and for the latter, rounding out the edges for an even softer squoval will visually elongate thick fingers while still being on-trend.
