Short, square-shaped nails are in style, but just because young Hollywood stars are into this look, that doesn't mean that you have to like it, too. Long, manicured nails are beautiful, timeless and really show off dainty fingers and rings! Take this poll and let me know what your personal nail shape preference is.

Pointy nails are just creepy.
1yuck I agree sarcast!! Who wears pointy nails now?! That's so 1986.
2Square...
3Rounded, whether they're short or long. Square doesn't look good on me and pointed is scary.
4I like rounded, looks for natural on me and it doesn't break as easily. I have really brittle nails (they peel all the time) so the less breakage the better!
5Rounded, it's so much more natural-looking. It drives me nuts when manicurists try to file my nails into a square shape, I always tell them no way!
6Square and short, it's just so practical. But rounded is also very pretty.
7I love rounded but now that my nails are weaker I might leave them shorter, to follow the trend, lol. Still, longer look better with my short fingers.
8Rounded. My nails naturally take this shape, so I let them be.
9As emalove said, rounded nails are much more natural-looking, I think...
10I didn't know square nails are a trend. I was always taught to shape them based on what they look like at the cuticle... I have square cuticles so I get my nails square shaped. They look normal to me this way, and I love a good square French manicure.
11square
12My nails are always cut short so it's naturally "rounded" by default. I don't like to grow out my nails because I'm always either on the computer or cooking; I can't type with long nails and I don't like the extra step of having to scrub my nails to make sure I get everything from underneath there after I cook. Plus, I like dark polish and it's scary to have long nails and dark red or black polish.
13wtf who in the WORLD wears pointy nails now...except cruella de vil?
14My nails break whenever they are shaped square so I go for "squoval". Rounded edges and flat across.
15I go square always have. I didn't know it was trend until I rea another one of these beauty polls. I think square looks natural to me since my nails don't grow out rounded they grow straight from my nail bed and I would have to saw on them to get them rounded. Pointy is scary to me but I know some people who like them. I haven't really been growing my nails that long but I'm getting married in a few months and I decided to go it on my own instead of getting acrylics this time
16square. but when my nails are super short then round.
17My nails frow square!
18Pointy??? I keep them short and square
19Im with babygirl on this one. I like a rounded square, flat across with rounded corners. I read somewhere that your ideal shape is the mirror image of your cuticle.
20Pointy is gross!!! I believe the technical term for my shape is squoval. =) Square but with rounded edges.
21I keep mines square but not quite as sharp as in the picture, kind of "Squoval" like daisie said.
22Square and short.
23I love the squoval look. A slightly rounded square. The square in this picture is perfect and I love it.
24Square looks the best on my hands.
25Not pointy.
26IMA SQUARE! lol
27i prefer rounded but my nails naturally have a square shape so its easiest to file them that way
28the Squoval...a mix between round and square, or square with rounded edges.
29Square! Plus it makes your nails harder to break!Added Bonus!
30Squoval for me
31☐ 4 me
32i've never had my nails done, but mine definitely do the "squoval" naturally. i'd never heard that word - funny!
33Square!!
34My nails kind of naturally grow square, so I find that they break less easily if I keep them that way.
35My nails also grow square and my fingers would look fat if they were rounded.
36Short well manicured square nail! looks classy and professional!
37ELEGANTLY ROUNDED PLEASE. I ONLY GET MY NAILS DONE TO WEAR MY RINGS!! LONGER FINGERNAILS COMPLIMENT MY RINGS, DARLING.
38Mine are square naturally so I guess square!
39Short and square nails are my favourite... I never liked the look of longer nails on me.
40Rounded edges with a straighter tip; does that make sense? It's what I like,lol.
41i used to always have long nails
42and now i just hate them
i always keep mine like average length
Rounded and kinda short! i never tried square but i would love to!!
43with acrylics (gel or silk for that matter), i think square is nice.
but with natural . . .i do rounded.
44square and short!
45square all the way for mee
46I like rounded and long for myself.
47Pointy??! Like the wicked witch? I like square.
48Mine are short and rounded. I liek long nails, believe me, but it's so hard to have them at work...
49I think rounded looks more polished and pretty, but when I file my nails myself, my rounded always gets uneven. So when I have them done, I go for rounded and when I do them myself I go for squoval.
