I think everyone will agree with me that well manicured nails are elegant and will elevate any look. It shows that you take good care of yourself. It can be, however, dreadful to choose the right shape or colour. So here are some nail shapes and colours that look great at all times on anyone because they are just classic and timeless.
It’s all about the shape
These days nails come in all shapes and forms. You can go as natural or extravagant as you personally wish to. Just bear in mind that it is harder styling the crazy designs to different looks compared to the more natural options.
If you want nails that are appropriate with any look in any occasion opt for a short or medium length. When it comes to shape you’ll want to go for what feels good. Note that with shorter nails an oval, square or the square oval shape will be prettiest. Whilst almond and stiletto shapes usually look a bit more elevated and elegant on a medium length nail. Whatever length you use keep in mind that your nails grow in between salon appointments.
Show your true colours
When it comes to colour, well I’d say find go for whatever matches your style, whether that is bright colours or natural or rather dark. In all honesty, if it fits with your overall personality and style then any colour could work. Nevertheless, there are always those moments when you really have no inspiration and are looking for something that is just easy to wear, classic and timeless. Well don’t stress next time this happens to you coz’ at Ode2Style, I’ve got you covered with a set of colours for each season.
