Over the past season we’ve been seeing a strong trend towards the long oval shaped nail. The oval shape on Rihanna is slightly sharper than the Dior version. What’s nice about either oval, is it accentuates the length of the nail bed, and looks feminine.

1. First straighten the sides of your nail with a file.
2. File each side of the nail towards the top using a curved motion.
3. File the free edge keeping it smooth and balanced.
