The summer months are all about experimenting, whether it’s with your hair, makeup, or both.

There are a handful of super fun, aesthetically-pleasing nail shapes that deserve your attention this season.

The Best Nail Shapes

“Different looks can be sexy depending on the occasion,” LeChat Nails educator Syreeta Aaron tells POPSUGAR. “If you’re going on vacation, simple is sexy, so go with a very short, natural, square rounded shape. You don’t want anything too high maintenance when you’re on the go — a broken tip isn’t sexy.”

Aaron noted classic nail shapes, like almond-shaped nails, can stand out as being flirtatious, while the coffin-nail shape is a bit newer and stands out as bold. While picking nail shapes can be fun, the process can be a little stressful. The shape ultimately determines the look and vibe of your manicure, and there’s something out there for everyone. Don’t pay attention to or feel self-conscious about your finger size, but instead focus on the details of your mani, like the nail-polish color.
