A round nail is the perfect shape if you love a look that leans more natural. Mirroring the curve of the cuticle, a rounded nail has a soft and symmetrical shape. Whether your nails are short and sweet or super long, a rounded shape gives any manicure a clean and simple base.
Thanks to their simplicity, rounded nails are a great base for any nail design. However, you can introduce circles, ovals, and rounded squiggles into your design to play up the shape. This yields a soft and cohesive look. Additionally, round nails are wonderful if you want to play with a bolder design like cow print, but don’t want the look to be too overpowering.
While any design lends itself to a rounded nail, some looks are especially stunning. Ahead, browse 15 rounded nail designs to help inspire your spring manicure.
