nail shape

Almond or coffin

Nail shape refers to the contour given to fingernails or toenails when groomed, ranging from practical to decorative.

Common shapes include square, round, oval, almond, stiletto, and coffin—each requiring different nail lengths and maintenance.

The term appears in manicure contexts: She asked for an almond nail shape.

Shape affects both aesthetics and durability.
