I did it. I finally did it. I have a new nail shape. I've had stiletto nails since the fall of 2012, and I thought now is the time to do something different for a change. Don't get me wrong -- I loved my pointy talons. And it's not like these babies aren't still claws.
They're called "ballerina" or "coffin" nails, due to their shape. The tip of the nail resembles either a coffin (eek), or, as I prefer to refer to them as, the pointe of a pointe ballet shoe. Love.
I frequently get asked what one should ask for when they walk into a nail salon. I always get a full gel set (or fill), and ask if the nail tech wants to see a picture of what I want. The answer is usually "yes" -- and if it's "no," I'd honestly look elsewhere. Pull up a photo of the nail shape you want -- in my case it was a ballerina nail. It's pretty easy. Just use Google! And DON'T be afraid to stop the nail tech if you notice he or she is not doing what you want. I know it may seem rude or intimidating, but they're your nails, and you should be happy with the final result!
Be daring with your nails (if your school/work allows) and try something new, trendy, or just something you've always wanted to try. They're just nails, and can be changed within minutes!
