14 Almond-Shaped Nail Designs to Try RN


Almond nails: sharper than ovals but less dangerous than stilettos. Inspired by, you guessed it, the silhouette of almond, this nail shape is widest at the base, slightly rounded on the sides of the free edge, and pointed at the very tip.
If you love the look of pointy nails but, you know, need to get stuff done without hurting yourself or others, this softer version is a happy medium between style and practicality. And unlike stiletto nails, you get a little more real estate to work with, which makes this the ideal shape for nail art. Need some inspo (and a bit more convincing)? Check out these ideas, below.
1Smaller Almonds

These small almonds (smalmonds, if you will) look just as good as their mid-length or longer counterparts. As long as you've got enough free edge to shape, you've plenty to work with for nail art.

2Almond-Milk Nails



Hate on almond milk all you want, but the cloudy, slightly opaque hue makes for a great nail-polish shade. And when paired with an almond shape? It's like it was meant to be.

3 Rainbow Almonds 


When coupled with multicolored nail polish, almond nails quickly take on some major Easter-egg vibes. Weirdly, "egg nails" just doesn't quite have the same ring to it....

4 Seashell Almonds

Opposites never looked so good. Who knew that pairing a subdued neutral with a crazy holographic polish would create this mother-of-pearl effect?

5 Crescent Almond Nails 


Sometimes, subtle nail art is the trippiest. The super-thin white lines that run along three sides of these almond nails make it appear as though the nails are actually glowing.
6 Outlined Almonds


This subtle, multicolored outline is perfect for those who like the idea of color but, like, not that much.
7 Tie-Dye Almonds 


 Rainbow ice cream at TCBY, your favorite ’90s T-shirt, these nails— truly the best things in life are tie-dye. And these long almond nails give you enough space to work with for the full, multicolored effect.
8 Color-Blocked Almonds

Say it with me: "Neutrals do not need to be boring." This color combo—half dusty rose mixed with a little peach and a touch of white—is proof of that.
9 Asymmetrical-Tipped Almonds 


A darker, asymmetrical line along the edge of each nail makes the tips appear much sharper than they really are. So if you're having a hard time giving up your stilettos but still want to try the almond trend, try tricking yourself into believing you still have them.
10 Glittery and Golden Almonds 




A post shared by NICOLE FERNANDO (@nails_by_nicki) on

Do you see those perfectly pointed tips? And that flawless glitter gradient? And that ultra-shiny shine? It's like these nails deserve a...gold star...or something.
11 Neutral Almonds 


An almond shape makes even the most mundane, natural shades look like art. Tell me I'm wrong.
12 Negative Space 




A post shared by Paintbox (@paintboxnails) on

Not every nail look has to play up the almond aspect. You almost can't tell what shape these nails are, thanks to the negative space design that appears to be floating like ~magic~.
13 Rose Quartz Almonds 




A post shared by Naomi Yasuda (@naominailsnyc) on

If you're into the crystals and energies and all that good stuff, you already know all about the love energy of rose quartz. Which means you will also love this nail art, which features a rose-quartz design with gold accents.
14 French Tips 


When French tips look like this, I'm willing to give the style a try again. Apparently, an almond shape makes all the difference in the world when trying to reinvent an old classic.
