Which nails look classiest for holidays?

[notaurewhatusername]

I always struggle picking what nails to have!

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

Fake tan is not classy

The shorter ones. The other ones are too pointy and loom fake

I cancelled my nail appointment and went on holiday with natural, naked nails. It was the best thing I've ever done for my nails. They got loads of vitamin D and I've come home with nails in the best condition they've been in for months!

Yes, this is true. And actual nail shape and size too

French tips are naff and the polar opposite of classy. They look cheap

Classy looking is shorter. Long and pointy is not classy.

Those pointy ones are an abomination. Only OK if you have massive fake lashes and powder brows to go with them.

A squoval shape is much classier. I’m not a fan of the French tip look though.

Definitely not the first picture- ombré and long aren't classy. The shorter nails some of the others have posted are nice.
Naked nails are horrible too, despite pp's saying otherwise. They're too manual labour looking for me.

Pointy ones not classy. French better

It just goes to show that everyone has different taste. I'm really not a fan of classic French tips, it looks quite dated to me. I see lots of people near me with the ombre style. I guess it all depends on your definition of "classy"

This.

The horrid thick long pointy or square ones don't look classy at all.

Although square is less naff than pointy.

I just think how much grime is under those nails 🤢

What did you go for in the end OP?

This ! 100 percent

If you’re wanting classy I’d say the shorter ones. The pointy ones are more glamorous rather than classy which isn’t a bad thing either, of course.

First photo, I love that style and they elongate the fingers.

nicest nails I've been seen are on friends who have their own nails which they look after, filing them down nicely and a nice short length with a natural varnish. You can't improve on natural
nails/hair/eyelashes.

Speaking as someone whose nails have developed ridges and bumps as I’ve got older, I think you can improve on nature. I agree that short and naturally shaped nails are better than obvious points or tips.

Have what makes you happy - you make sure they aren't too long, damage easier (I regularly have cut mine off accidentally cooking if I let them get too long. I like classic red nail's myself

Pointy never, ever look classy. They scream tacky acrylic extensions.

Not when they are short like in the picture.
If you have short nails they have to be pretty square-oval

Yes I love these. Hate pointy nails!

A quick update, I decided to take them all off! May nails currently are natural not even nail polish on them. However sadly, as I've been having BIAB for a year with no break they look pretty awful.

I've ordered some Nails inc oil and clear nail polish and then I'm going to review things in a couple of weeks which is when I go on holiday.

Depending how they look, I think I might apply a nail polish colour and get a manicure and gel on my toes.

I've decided I think natural is best, I might be pushed to just do gel one more time for hols no BIAB. We'll see.
