Choosing a press-on set is about more than the print. The nail shape sets the whole mood — and the wrong one can make even the prettiest design feel off. At Jolifeu we handcraft three shapes that cover almost every hand: Square, Coffin (ballerina), and Squoval. Here's how to tell them apart and pick the one that flatters you.

1. Square — Clean, Confident, Editorial
Square press-ons have a straight, flat tip with sharp 90° corners. They read modern and a little architectural, and pair beautifully with graphic lines, chrome, and bold color blocks. Best for longer fingers and narrow nail beds, or anyone who likes a crisp, effortlessly put-together look.

2. Coffin (Ballerina) — Sculpted, Glam, Statement
Coffin nails taper to a flat, narrowed tip — like a ballerina slipper. They elongate the fingers and feel luxe and fashion-forward. Best for medium-to-long nails and glam, bridal, or red-carpet moods. Note: Coffin needs a bit more length to look right, so it's our most dramatic shape.

3. Squoval — The Easy Everyday Favorite
Squoval blends square and oval: straight sides with a softly rounded tip. It keeps the modern edge of square but loses the sharp corners, so it's the most wearable and the most forgiving on short nails. Best for wider or shorter nail beds, first-time press-on wearers, and everyday wear that still looks polished.
