Dos & Don’ts for Choosing a Nail Shape That Suits Your Lifestyle

Choosing the right nail shape is more than just style — it determines how long your manicure lasts, especially in Auckland CBD’s busy work environment.

Do: Choose a shape that matches your daily habits

If you type all day, carry bags, or have active hands, squoval and short oval shapes hold up best.

Don’t: Force trends that don’t fit your routine

Long ballerina or stiletto shapes look beautiful, but they require gentle use.Satomi often reminds clients:

“Your nails should match your lifestyle, not complicate it.”

Do: Keep length practical

Short, structured gel can look just as elegant — and lasts longer.

Don’t: Ignore nail strength

Weak or flexible nails need builder gel support before attempting longer shapes.
