I always struggle picking what nails to have!

One thing is I don't like them to look tacky - which design looks classiest?

@FatLarrysBanned or these?

Yes, much classier imo.

KnittedCardi · 22/08/2024 22:23

Neither. What's wrong with soft oval, nail shaped nails!!!! Subtle French are fine, the ones in the picture are too white.

@FatLarrysBanned thanks! I'm going to the nail salon tomorrow and am feeling so indecisive but might go with the last photo I think

I think nail shape really needs to take finger width/length into account. Mine definitely suit squoval over almond/pointed. One style doesn't suit all.

The best is the pic myothercarisavauxhall posted or your pic from 22:15. Agree the pointy ones never look classy.

Thats nice, as natural as possible imo. Definitely not pointy.

Sandyankles · 22/08/2024 22:35

The pointy ones and the long ones look very fake and tacky as does the very white tip (although the shape is nicer). The weird ombré effect looks like a fungal nail infection imo.

First photo

If you want classy nails don’t go for an extreme shape, either pointy or square. Long nails are also very déclassé. Shorter nails with a rounded tip will look best, then you can get away with colour if you want to.

Boxina · 22/08/2024 22:38

Pointy are so tacky. Squoval is classy.

Ketzele · 22/08/2024 22:38

Second but more squoval

ClipTap · 22/08/2024 22:40

Not the almond shaped ones

Much prefer the square ended ones

Jumpstarter · 22/08/2024 22:40

French, out of those two.

If combining is an option, id go length of the french, with the colouring of the other one. To me pointy nails don't look great and long nails aren't classy. But french can look a bit too classic. Nude short nails, in a shape the suits your fingers is probably the classiest imo

Yes, yes, absolutely this.

excelledyourself · 22/08/2024 22:49

Something like this. I don't like long nails at all, or french tips

I find the longer the nail, the more tacky they look. I like these ones, they're classy.

Imbusytodaysorry · 22/08/2024 22:53

First .

Is Fire Engine Red old fashioned now?

This. Pointy looks so tacky.

A soft ombre with slightly rounded square tips would be my suggestion.

Classy = polished, elevated and natural looking.

SaintHonoria · 22/08/2024 23:05

The pointy ones are grim.

The second photo is ok shapewise but I wouldn't go for bright white tips as they are a bit passé now.

Josette77 · 22/08/2024 23:06

This is what I get. I like them. Obviously. Lol
