I love square nails, short or long. I tried rounded nails a few months ago while growing out some peeling damage and HATED it on me. I do soften the corners on my square nails. I would like to see more square and squareish nail tutorials, and would love to hear your thoughts on what makes this shape attractive - or not- on various hand and nail bed shapes.

I’m enjoying hearing you and MSL together. “See what I have to put up with?” Lol my husband would never let me do a manicure for him. I did my first “Anna” gentle manicure for my daughter yesterday. We are trying to undo the damage from the nail salon for her. She has been commenting how nice my nails are looking, so I am teaching her what I have learned from you! Thank you

You guys are so funny, I enjoy your banter, reminds me of myself and my husband. But also this is still the most practical nail care channel on you tube. It really helps you have pretty nails that you can still live life with. I went from just trying to keep my nails approximately the same length, since I use my hands a lot, to actually doing a nice manicure with long lasting polish, with your help. That makes my nails much stronger, not to mention prettier. Keep it up 🙂

I love this shape!! Mine never break, and thanks for the tutorial😉

I have ugly, uneven shaped nails looking like guitar nails, they were gross. Thanks for these videos, ive been to nail salons before to try and improve the shape but with no luck, so i assumed it wasn't possible and just genetics, ive been following some of your tips and its already made a huge difference. Will definitely be investing in my nails a bit more following your videos, thanks so much :)

Your videos are so informative and so helpful. After getting a horrible paronychia from a nail salon that ended up needing a minor surgical procedure to fix, I started doing my own nails. I found your channel and never looked back! Your videos are so great because not only do they teach how to do beautiful work, but you teach the science behind how and why things work. That’s my favorite part! Understanding the science is key for healthy nails. Thanks for all the info!💅🏽🌸💗

I love a short, square shape on me with a really flat top, but I'll soften the corners a bit. I guess that may be technically a "scround" or a soft square, possibly, but again, my tops are super flat. (my fingers are unusually long and I like to visually shorten them a bit lol) Never have breakage issues though. I was an aesthetician for over 20 years, but doing manicures on natural nails was my second favourite service next to facials, and I took great pride in them, especially the lovely transformation that was often achieved. I think because I love attention to detail so much. So love your channel and both you!!!!

[annearaullo]

Could you please do a DIY pedicure & give some tips about what to look out for in salons that only offer wet pedicures? Thank you both for your efforts.

[bees_nail_art]

I love this I want short square nails there a bit round after some breaks after some stress etc.. that is my favourite shape but your right the corners/edges chip/break sadly.

[RawanLancaster]

Can you please do a tutorial for almond nails how to shape them properly this one is so clear thanks

[amorerobinson]

Im literally addicted to your channel 😅

I love my nails when they have a sharp square shape and square-round shape. I do find that my nails are more prone to breakage, depending on how long they are, but this is my preferred shape. I think the mister’s nails would look very nice with his black polish! 💅🏾 😎

[KristinaVasileva]

I love square nails! I used to wear mine super square for years and they never break. The only issue I had was with the pointy edges, they are like weapons. I changed my shape to more round/almond shape because of that.

I have fan shaped nails and have been over filing the sides to try and narrow them. Im currently transitioning to a super square shape to grow out the sides and am surprised to see my widest nails beginning to look narrower already. I think because the corners are able to take more of a c curve

[LaabsMath]

I am partial to square nails. Mine are on the longer side, an this shape elongates them. Currently wearing a dark copper with matte top coat, so they look kind of like brown velvet. Perfect as it’s starting to feel like the coming of fall.

[amzm]

Love the shape. Going to try it. Thank you!!!

[Ivanagoodname]

🤣🤣 love watching you both. Fab tutorial as all always! Thank you 😁

Sixty (60) years ago I was taught NEVER to saw nails back and forth. I am so trained that I can't even force myself to do it.
I have naturally oval nails. I can only get a square-ISH look, which is actually prettier on me than a extreme square. The worst shape for breaking is very long pointy stiletto nails. I grew my nails super long during the lockdown and experimented with various lengths and shapes. Long natural nails are elegant, but very high maintenance. I have come to prefer my nails shorter, just barely over the top of the finger.
Bare, square nails make a woman's hands look masculine. Square nails look very modern and trendy, but only if they are polished with color polish.

[angiemicheal]

Love square nails, but can never get them right. This will help! TY :)

[alexialee_faby]

Hello guys! I sort of came here to confess that my red nail diy manicure took me today 3 hours 😭😭😭 and it doesn't look as pretty as Anna's manicures ofc. Sorry I just didn't know who else I could tell my struggles to 😅
Maybe that could be an idea for a future tutorial. How to red polish/manicure without dying in the attempt 😆😊😘
