Getting your nails done at a salon is supposed to be an indulgent and relaxing moment of self-care. However, it can be the opposite experience for anyone who's indecisive. First, you have to decide between a Baskin Robbins-worth of nail polish shades, and then your technician will ask you what shape you want to file your nails.

If you always find yourself internally debating between an almond or round shape, oval nails will give you a little bit of both. This shape has sides that are filed straight and has softer, rounded edges towards the ends.

Along with not having to choose between two dramatic shapes, oval nails make fingers appear longer and slender and can be worn both short and long. Another bonus: The shape works well with virtually any nail art design.
