Please Excuse Me While I Try All 16 of These Oval Nail Ideas

Mmkay, so almond nails and coffin nails might have all the hype right now, but let me turn your attention real quick to a classic favorite and very underrated nail shape: the oval. More tapered than rounded nails but softer than almond, oval nails are an easy shape to wear (no accidentally stabbing yourself with pointy tips) while still maintaining your length. If you can’t help but associate the shape with the one your grandma wears (no shade—love you, Grams), then take a scroll through the 16 design ideas below to convince you that oval nails will always be timeless and, more importantly, really freakin’ pretty. While you screenshot, I’ll be over here googling how to grow my nails longer so that I can shape them into cute little ovals.
