For years I have adhered firmly to the square shape when getting manicures. I’m not sure why, but I’ve always had it engrained in my mind that this is a more refined look. Recently, while paging through the summer books, I found that a lot of the celebs have been opting for round. Why not give it a try?

Due to the new day job, I need to be careful not to have too much fun with my nails; neon and crazy patterns are out. So is nail art. No problem here… there are so many pretty, classy colors to try this season. I treated myself to a pale pink mani this afternoon and, on a whim, went for a round shape.

My nails definitely look dainty and ladylike. Further, the rounded edge makes them appear longer than they are (Typing kills your length. Know that). Here is a photo of my fun new nail adventure. Hope you like it… and give it a try.
