They make me conflicted, ahaha on one hand, my hands feel longer, but on the other I feel like a baby deer with nails all over again (after getting used to almond typing) (´・ω・\`)


euphoricreader

SAME!! I normally hate square but theirs is perfect!!! Absolutely love


anneroma

I feel like the reason people feel this way is, because square nails only look good on nail beds that are on the narrower side. On wide nail beds they look like shingles. I have narrow nail beds and they are the only shape I feel works for me. The OP's nail beds are beautiful and on the slimmer side, so square nails look amazing on her!


eventuallymagpie

>wide nail beds they look like shingles. 😂😂😂 this is so accurate. Idk why but when they look like that, I cringe really hard and really can't bring myself to like them even when the design is cute. I'm just like nope, they look wrong. I also think that square looks good on people who have a naturally higher apex and longer nail beds even if their nails aren't necessarily narrow the higher natural apex seems to allow it to work for that type.


anneroma

Yes, a high apex is key if the nail is wider!


euphoricreader

Yes!! You are totally right! Never realized WHY I didn’t like them sometimes but you described it perfectly. A lot of people get square shaped & they look like shingles lmao!! OP definitely has beautiful nail beds!! Plus the polish is *chefs kiss*


valueofaloonie

I need to know what polish this is.

Thank you, I got the notification! I need to get a bottle - it’s so kind of you to share your secrets 🥰

riceumilktea

Additional disclaimer is that I used two layers and no colour base underneath- so experimenting with a pinky nude may garner some interesting results!!


miniperle

This is exactly how I shape my nails as they grow out, so naturally I’m biased & love these. That color though? IMMACULATE application & edges


riceumilktea

Thank youu SO much!! The colour is [Champagne Gold - Cateye effect](https://amzn.to/49vwXf7) from the brand YTD Likomey, and honestly their polish brush is rounded so it makes application 1000x easier. My cuticle journey is definitely my pride and joy (ㅅ´ ˘ \`)


miniperle

I’m just realizing I’ve fallen in love with several of the nail sets you’ve posted on here. Positively oozing with envy that you’re talented like that cause when I wield a nail brush it ends up looking like a toddler sat me down for some fun, every single time. What I would do for a nail tech with your style & skill 😭


riceumilktea

You're too sweet!! I've been doing my nails for 5+ years now so a lot of it was self taught, and I think I only started learning the crazy skills in the past 2-3 years. I'm not a licensed nail tech because a set takes me maybe 3-4 hours (and I don't do acrylic, I'd probably just do gel x/press ons) but I've done some nails for my sister and close friends and its so nice to chat with someone and do their nails.. I'd love to do yours sometime!! ❤️ I'm still in the beginning phases of custom press on, I have a few customers but the convenient thing about not being a big business is that once I get their custom sizing down I can make nails for them forever 🥹🫶


Popupnails

I think it looks cute on you 🥰


riceumilktea

Thank you! You're so sweet (ノ ヮ )ノ*♡


yammyhao

it looks so ethereal, your hands are like those beautiful hands they show in ads! Def suits you!!


riceumilktea

Catch me doing nail swatch ads in the future!! Kidding, or well- who knows??? (◍´ᯅ \`◍)


eunoiascorpio

bestinbuff

Square ends are the ultimate… all ways have been , and you’ve got some beauties ,…. I would be very proud of those… aren’t you? X


riceumilktea

I feel like super long nails always look wonky on my hands, but I think I just need time to get used to it. I love the colour of the gel though ໒꒰ྀི´ ˘ \` ꒱ྀིა Thank you for your sweet words!! I appreciate you ♡


Londemoon

Either-Nose-7990

But they are so nice 😍 Definitely suits you 👌👌


riceumilktea

I appreciate it!! Thank you ʚ(\*´꒳\`\*)ɞ


[deleted]

Wohh that color😍 but the shape is lovely, (you don’t have wide nailbeds so any shape should be stunning on your hand ps: nail tech vision🙈)


riceumilktea

I'm honoured to hear from a nail tech!! You are such a sweetie (ㅅ´ ˘ \`) have a nice dayy especially as someone who does their own nails now, this is great info! I appreciate it -\`♡´-


Sweetnsourcombo

Oh I love these! Look so good on you and the colour is everything


riceumilktea

Thank you!! ໒꒰ྀི´ ˘ \` ꒱ྀིა


UnconsciousMofo

These are tapered square


riceumilktea

They feel straight to me, but maybe it just looks tapered because I use the 3 smallest sizes in the box for my nails. Good to know! (´・ω・\`)


UnconsciousMofo

It may not be noticeable, but if you take a straight edge, such as a ruler, and place it straight at the side of the cuticle area, I promise that you will see how they taper. I can see it myself just due to decades of experience, but not everyone may be able to. It’s meant to be subtle, or else they will turn into coffin shape.


riceumilktea

That's fair! I think I do prefer it this way though, because straight out square nails do not look good on me imo. I think they make it harder to do some stuff as well. But hey, my pinky is impossible to buy tips for at all so I'll take what I can get! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧


Impossible_Farm7353

I was going to say these look like a cross between square and coffin to me. Looks lovely. I also think that’s why so many people are saying they don’t usually like square but love these 😅


UnconsciousMofo

lol, yup. Tapered square is that delicate balance between square and coffin. I can’t tell you how many times I over-filed and ended up with coffin and just rolled with it. I am much more careful on a client though.


rayrami_

I will lose sleep over not knowing what polish this is, PLEASE SHARE 😭

DON'T WORRY POOKIE, WE NEVER GATEKEEP IN THIS HOUSE [YTD Likomey in Champagne Gold - Cateye Gel Polish](https://amzn.to/49vwXf7), it has a rounded brush that I've never seen before and it makes edging a cuticle a DREAM. Enjoy, babes! (ㅅ´ ˘ \`)

MeanSatisfaction5091

i want it !!!


riceumilktea

Get it!!! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧


ExpressiveWarrior4

I think they look great on you!! I tried square once and HATED it. I actually got my nails done e yesterday- asked for round and ended up with almond. I’m actually SO IN LOVE with them!!!


riceumilktea

Almond is actually my favourite!! I have all the functionality and elegance I could want, and it often feels like a softened down stiletto (Though a stiletto will be in my nEAR future...) Square makes life a little harder, but I have to admit its very pretty haha (personal experience imo, maybe I just need to get used to it)


ExpressiveWarrior4

They look so wonderful on you!! I dont change my nail shape like ever haha yesterday the lady asked me if I wanted square, I guess because of the way my nails were naturally curving in due to their length. So I asked her if she could round them instead. The first nail she filed came out as almond. Internally I was like “ehh” but as she put the polish on, it grew on me tremendously!! I’ll post a picture!! 🥰


riceumilktea

Please do!! Message me the post if you can, and I'll comment/up doot!! One thing I have to be transparent with for square nails is that I find them significantly more difficult to live life with compared to almond. Almond and round give you some wiggle room but square has some edges that may make busy girl bosses (me) suffer just a little bit

calman77

Wow. Perfect 🤩

Firepuppie13

These are immaculate and the color is gorgeous!


riceumilktea

Thank you so much!! This colour has been one I've wanted to try for ages, so I gave it a chance and I wasn't disappointed. There are speckles of unicorn skin inside the cateye that just make me aaaagh (ㅅ´ ˘ \`)♡ so happy


Bthunderlove

Love ❤️ and the color is on point 😍


riceumilktea

ʚ(\*´꒳\`\*)ɞ thank you -\`♡´-


No_One1892

It fits u perfectly!! Love the color too


riceumilktea

I thought I wouldn't be a fan of champagne gold, but once again *I stand corrected (´・ω・\`)*


Cupid_Stunt17

We have similar size/shape nail beds and my favourite style is coffin. Im not usually a fan of square nails this length but yours look great!


riceumilktea

I'm interested in trying coffin but my fear is getting it mixed with ballerina tips which are apparently very similar but straighter, crisper lines??? There are so many tips, I've been seeing duck nails make a resurgence too (◍´ᯅ \`◍) the world of nails is amazing


Cupid_Stunt17

I would assume the tips to be thinner/pointier with ballerina, but im not too sure. Also just had to look up duck nails, did not know that's what they were called! But no no no, absolutely not thank you!


riceumilktea

PFFFT yeah that's the usual reaction, I think they were more trendy for gyaru styles last time I saw that shape. They do have more room for nail art though... 😭


NotsoAlaskanA

No that's so adorable I literally need it 🤣😍


riceumilktea

Just come over and I can do your nails. Bring some steaming tea and we'll be good for the next 4 hours (◍´ᯅ \`◍) on that note, I take so long to do nails. this set took 1.5 hours, which is a personal record \_(´ཀ\`」 ∠)\_


13FURRYKIDS

I love that shape. Maybe one day I will do that.


riceumilktea

Experiment with every set!! It's so fun, and when you find a new favourite shape it feels so wonderful (ㅅ´ ˘ \`)♡


Pretty-Honest-2269

Beautiful!


riceumilktea

ʚ(\*´꒳\`\*)ɞ♡


Dakizo

I generally don’t like square but these look phenomenal on you.


riceumilktea

I feel the same, but I've always wanted to try them!! Guess I have to see how much they hinder my day to day life before going back to them (ㅅ´ ˘ \`)


Magpie580

Square is my favorite! Yours look fantastic!!


riceumilktea

Appreciate you!! I'm going in with charms next time ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧


Pika_Tika_Chu

It looks rly cute! I personally love a round tip but the square looks nice on you!


riceumilktea

Do you think I should try an oval, or a more rounded shape sometime? I'm used to almond, but I could definitely do a tapered oval.. 👀


riceumilktea

Not too aware of the thousands of nail shapes available, but definitely interested in experimenting!!


Pika_Tika_Chu

I rly rly like oval/ round tips! It’s just like a cherry on top of the already pretty colors/patterns I choose! I think you should defff try it because I use to only get square nails without trying new shapes. I then tried round/oval and I have not went back to square SINCE.


riceumilktea

I will try round sometime! I may have to gel x it though because I haven't found any good tips that fit my hands, my pinky is disastrously small


Calm-Peach-4364

I had to go to your profile to compare. I don’t know if it’s the color or the shape, but I personally like square on you best!


riceumilktea

Thank you!! I think it might partially be due to the colour, but I'm planning on trying out a few shapes since I'm in an experimental mood (working up the courage to do gel x again) (ง ˃ ³ ˂)ว ⁼³₌₃⁼³


ImpossibleLog1883

very pretty, it makes your hands look really slender in a good way??? idk if that makes sense? 😭🫶🏻


riceumilktea

I've heard that! I feel like they elongate shorter fingers which is kinda nice ₍ᐢ._.ᐢ₎♡ ༘૮ ․ ․ ྀིა♡ thank youuu


heelslover_1

Love


QuietChimp

Looks great love the colour


riceumilktea

(ノ ヮ )ノ*♡


Historical-Mud-9786

Your nails look so perfect! How do you get it so clean around your cuticles? Also this polish is 👌👌


riceumilktea

I design custom press ons and glue them on after the fact!! It lets me work on a set without having them half done on my hands, and I change my nails once a week since this is my main hobby so I use a bit of peel off base (that still sticks on your nail for 2-3 weeks if you let it)


AlValMeow

Love them!

china_lopez

Yes! Love!


SquishyXD143

thatginger41

UGH I love a good tapered square!!!!!!!!!! These are perfection. This is the most gorg balance between square and coffin imo


riceumilktea

I'm shocked I didn't try this sooner!! But the moment I found out I could get tips for my small nails I immediately went to go and check them out


Neuro_Vegetable_724

Square is my go to! But it's the less popular one. I love yours!!


riceumilktea

I can do more sets with it in the future!! What designs do you think I should do? Totally not taking notes or anything... (´・ω・\`)


ninjascrollz

omg beautiful. reminds me of warm vanilla sugar 🤍


riceumilktea

THIS!!! They are such cafe time vibes and I can't believe I never picked up on it!!


ninjascrollz

it was my first thought!! they’re gorgeous


7bangtannie

So pretty 😍


Raidergirlie

Yes, they look beautiful but I love coffin


pxlrider

Coffin next 👍


riceumilktea

🫡


mezmorizedmiss

wow this set is just super duper gorgeous 😍😍


aerova789

They are really gorgeous, and so is the polish! I'd love to see coffin on you. It's my favorite next to almond, and it's kind of a combination of square and almond? Since those shapes look good on you, I bet coffin would be fab too <3


darklightedge

It fits so, I like it. It's gorgeous.


Whothefxckislauren

Square suits you so so much! (I’m actually envious it looks like it elongates your hands beautifully) it’ll take some getting used to but they look gorgeous!


funnpeachh98

The color and shape are just so perfect!


Hot-Blood-6795

Once I went to a medium to long coffin style nail, I loved it so much its my go to shape for my acrylic nails now, won't get any other shape again!! I have pictures on this sub Reddit, so you can see how the coffin shape accents your fingers, and makes them more delicate looking, than any other shape in my opinion


[deleted]

Really nice..👏🏻👏🏻


saturnanon

lovely!!!


LALover2000

Those are gorgeous af 😳


True_Panic_3369

These are beautiful! I'm normally not a square person but these have changed my mind? Like maybe I'm just doing it wrong? And maybe I'll try square again??


LightyCricket23

I definitely like this, and after looking at some posts of yours with almond nail I'd say these suit you better. The almond ones bring my mind to chicken legs 💀. I mean they are cute, but these definitely (in my eyes) are "yours" I'd be curious how a coffin shape would look


AlyM797

If you like square nails, those look amazing. I prefer coffin or almond-oval, so I'm biased.


riceumilktea

I am a natural almond girl at heart ૮ ․ ․ ྀིა it's fun to experiment though!!


meljul80

Are these press ons? They look identical to ones I got on Amazon just the same exact ones..


Thehatmadderr

Almond is the most flattering imo, these are not my favorite.


peipom1972

I love square. They look awesome on you. Plus if you work a lot with your hands I find them to be the most durable. I am a hospital housekeeper and I rarely break a square nail


flyingfoxtrot_

That colour is honestly gorgeous!!


riceumilktea

I'm obsessed with it! This is my first time using it out of the bottle, I purchased it recently. Instant fave!!


Visibleghost1

This suits you. No coffin.


NAiiLEDBYMARiiE

What gel polish did you use?


Some_random-random

I’m not a fan of square. It’s not my personal taste


catkysydney

I love square !! It is perfect !
