How To Shape Your Nails 7 Different Ways

If you thought that nail polish was the only way to mix up your mani, think again. There are endless ways to freshen up your nails by changing their shape. I've rounded up tutorials for how to shapes your nails in seven different ways. Each one is unique and will transform your look completely, giving off its own fabulous sort of vibe.

Sadly, I am part of the short nailed girls club. I've been biting them since I was 10. The struggle is so real that I've even tried those crazy cayenne pepper polishes that are supposed to stop you from biting, but somehow pulled through and was left with short nails anyway. Lucky for me (and all the ladies out there like me), fake nails means we get to play around just as much!

I'd say the two celebs at the forefront of the on fleek nail shaping games are Ariana Grande and Kylie Jenner. I mean, can we stop and appreciate the fact that this gal has rocked long oval nails and looked so cute comfortable doing it? No easy task.

Similarly, the youngest Jenner is hands down a complete nail icon. Her Instagram is full of dreamy Jenner nail inspo, and you definitely won't want to miss the times this star's acrylic manicures stole the show.
