What actually suits your hands
One photo, and we read the shape, the width of the nail bed and your skin undertone — then say which designs work on them and which don't.

What you can try on your own nails
Every combination here is rendered onto a photo of your hand, so the thing you are judging is your own nail bed, your own finger length and your own skin tone — not a stock hand chosen because everything suits it.
Shape
Almond, square, squoval, oval, stiletto, ballerina and round, or keep the shape you already have and change only the colour. Shape does more to the look of a hand than any colour does: the same red reads sharp on a stiletto and quiet on a round nail.
Colour and design
Nude, milky, red, burgundy, chocolate, lilac and the rest, in solid colour, French, ombré, marble, geometric, lace, negative space, glitter, foil or hand painting. Finish is separate from colour — glossy, matte, chrome, pearl, cat eye and sheer change a shade more than most people expect.
How to get a result that looks like your hand
The photo
One photo of one hand in daylight, nails clearly in frame. It does not need to be pretty and it does not need bare nails — existing polish is replaced.
Position
Hand flat or slightly relaxed, fingers apart, taken from above. A fist hides the nail plate, which is the only part that matters here.
Light
A window beats a ceiling lamp. Warm indoor light shifts every shade towards yellow, and nudes suffer most.
What comes back
4 variants on your own photo, each with a line explaining why it suits what it suits. If one is almost right, you can ask for a fix — shorter, warmer, less glitter — instead of starting again.
Choosing a shape that suits your hands
Short fingers usually read longer with an almond or oval edge; wide nail beds are calmed by squoval rather than square. Length is a practical decision, not only a visual one — stiletto and ballerina need a free edge to sit on and are hard to type with. Trying the shape before the appointment is the cheapest way to find that out, and it costs nothing to change your mind afterwards.
How long a set has to last
The design you choose is also a decision about maintenance. Solid colour grows out evenly and can be worn to the point of a fill without looking neglected; a precise French line or fine hand painting shows regrowth within a week and a half, because the eye reads the line moving away from the cuticle. Rhinestones and foil add height, which catches on hair and fabric. None of this makes a design wrong — it makes it a three-week choice or a ten-day one, and it is worth knowing which you are picking before you sit down.
