Shape Matters: Why the Short, Squoval Nail is Your Strongest Summer Asset

While long, dramatic shapes offer high-glamour, the most functional, elegant, and on-trend shape this summer—and the one favoured by athletes and busy minimalist professionals alike—is the Short, Squoval Nail.

This shape is the unsung hero of the NZ Summer rush.

The Power of the Squoval:

• Structural Strength: By maintaining a shorter length and gently rounding the sharp corners, the Squoval Nailshape distributes stress evenly. This is crucial for avoiding the snags, chips, and breaks that long nails are prone to during increased activity (swimming, gardening, travel). It’s the perfect shape for supporting high-end Builder Gelapplication.

• The Clean Canvas: A beautifully filed squoval shape provides a perfect, clean canvas for this summer's biggest trends, like the Jelly Nail or bright Citrus Colours. It offers the visual neatness and elongation that complements a short, natural length perfectly.

At Satomi Nails, our service always includes a thorough Nail Shaping Guide consultation. We ensure the shape we create not only looks beautiful but is architecturally sound for your demanding summer lifestyle. This season, choose the practical elegance of the Squoval Nails Auckland trend.
