Which type of nail shape would typically not be recommended for short fingers?

The square nail shape is typically not recommended for short fingers because it can make the fingers appear even shorter and wider. The sharp corners of square nails can create a blunt look, which may emphasize the width of short fingers, rather than elongating their appearance. In contrast, shapes like oval or almond tend to create a more elongated look, helping to visually elongate the fingers and provide a more harmonized appearance.

Round shapes can also work well for short fingers as they soften the overall look without emphasizing width. However, the square shape's tendency to add width makes it less ideal for individuals with shorter fingers who may benefit from shapes that create a more slender effect.
