It’s really quite simple. Have a look at your fingernails, and try to determine what shape they have, using the picture below to help you.
If you can’t find your exact type, then just choose the one that’s the closest thing to what you have. Once you’ve found your type, read the description below and see if it matches your personality.
Long and rectangular
If your nails are best described as long and rectangular, then you are most likely a sociable, bubbly person with a good head on your shoulders. Whether it’s learning new facts or meeting new faces, you love fresh experiences and expanding your world.
When it comes to work, “measure twice, cut once,“ is your motto. You examine situations and problems from every angle, and you strive to always do the right thing. You’re meticulous and detailed, and you think everything through, right down to the nitty-gritty.
Broad and flat
If you’d describe your nails as broad and flat, then you are no doubt a clear-headed, analytical person. Always careful to think before you speak, people often turn to you for your sound advice and keen observations. You’re a great judge of character, and your instincts can always be relied upon.
Because you’re such a studious person, you tend to enjoy building and crafting. You love creating new things and having your hard work pay off. You value usefulness over beauty, and you love thinking up clever solutions to tricky problems.
Short and round
Since you’d describe your nails as short and round, you’re most likely a strong-minded, creative person with a dramatic flair. You radiate fun and excitement, so people are naturally drawn to you. Once you make a friend, you’re loyal for life, and you’d do anything to protect the people you love.
There are few things you love more than a new challenge. Adventurous, bold, and fearless, when you set your mind to something, you never back down. Some might say you’re a bit pig-headed, but you can’t help it if you know what you want!
Uneven and short
Are your nails uneven and short — perhaps from biting? Then you’re probably an empathetic, observant person. You’re a very heartfelt soul, so when you say something, you mean it. You treasure openness and communication, and you tread carefully when making new friends.
If your life had a motto, it would be, ”Still waters run deep.” Though you often look placid on the surface, there’s a storm of feeling and thought brewing beneath. Because of this, when you speak, others listen. Your friends know they can always turn to you for the truth —
even if it sometimes hurts.
Square and even
If your nails are square and even, it means you are a grounded, hardworking soul. A natural-born leader, you don’t take responsibility lightly. You’re often trusted with important tasks, because everyone knows they can count on you. When you do something, you do it right.
Never one to take shortcuts, you’re always willing to do whatever it takes to get a job done — but that doesn’t mean you don’t know how
to relax and have a good time. You might seem like a work horse, but there’s a fun-loving soul inside who loves a good party.
Triangular
Are your nails pointed and a bit triangular? This means you are a bold, decisive person who always knows what they want. You’re passionate and stubborn, so some might say you’re a firebrand — but you’ll take that as a compliment. You always know exactly what you want, and you’re not afraid to ask for it (or just get it yourself).
When it comes to a work, your motto is, “Work smart, not hard” — so you tend to really think things through before approaching a task. But when it’s time to get started, you blaze right through it. Your hard work always pays off and looks great.
Oval and long
If your nails are oval and long, you are most likely a very creative person, someone who draws strength and inspiration from the natural world. You’re earthy and imaginative, and you’re happiest you’re when surrounded by beauty. Serene and gentle, people gravitate to you when their worlds are hectic and noisy.
Some might say you tend to take on too much, but really, staying elbow-deep in projects makes you very happy — especially when it benefits others. You love to love, and you give with all your heart. You put your whole self into what you do, and that shows.
Unique cuticle line
Do your nails have a unique or uneven cuticle line? It means you live off the beaten path. When it comes to your world — your clothes, your home, even your taste buds — you avoid “ordinary“ like it’s the plague. You’re colorful and vibrant, and people always turn to you when they’re looking for a good time.
It might seem backwards, but your motto should be ”play hard, work harder.” When you’re having fun, your work ethic skyrockets, so you strive to make your tasks as enjoyable as possible. Because of this, nothing you do is boring.
