They are smoothed into perfect semi-circles, making them the most durable and requiring only an express gel manicure without the need for nail extensions.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766159540523\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What nail shape is best for short nails and slender fingers?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Square nails work best for short nails and people with slender fingers and narrow nail beds. This shape is filed flat on top with squared-off corners and can make fingers appear shorter if your fingers are not slender.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766159540524\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">When should you consider nail extensions for your manicure?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You should consider nail extensions for almond, coffin, and stiletto nail shapes.
