Squoval Nails

Souoval nails, or rounded-square nails, are nail shape that combines the characteristics of both square and round shapes. You need to create square nails with rounded corners to have this type of nail shape. This way, your nails will have a natural appearance with a more feminine and polished look than completely square nails. With their natural features, they need low maintenance as rounded edges are less likely to break. Also, the squared-off tip gives you more surface area for the design you wish to have.
You can wear squoval nails for casual occasions, especially if you have short nails or wide nail beds. Other options are everyday wear, work and office, and formal events. And the possibilities for the art can be a French manicure, floral, minimal, geometric, and many more designs and embellishments. Also, neutral, classic, deep, rich, metallic, and pastel tones can be applied for a stunning look.
Before experimenting with different colors and designs that go well with rounded-square nails, check out these inspirations to find out what works best for your style and occasion.

How to Choose the Best Colors for Squoval Nail Shape

The color you choose for rounded-square nails, such as other nail shapes, can enhance your overall look and style. So, the appearance of your nails' shades is related to your skin tone, the length of your nails, personal preferences, and the occasion.
Choose colors that make your nails look longer if you have short, squoval nails. This could include light colors like pink, nude, beige, pastel, or even dark colors with a glossy finish. But remember that too dark or bright colors can give your nails a short appearance.
Regarding skin tone, for people with fair skin, colors like light pink, blue, or green will complement it. If you have medium or dark skin, a wider range of colors, including brights, pastels, and neutrals, would be the best options. The occasion is another factor that influences your color choice. If you want an everyday or office look, rounded-square nails, neutral tones, soft pinks, light mauves, and subtle nudes are fabulous. Classic reds, deep burgundies, elegant blacks, and shimmery golds can add a touch of sophistication to your formal event nails. And for parties, you can get more creative with bold colors like bright blues, deep purples, sparkly glitter shades, and metallics.
