Short almond is the compromise shape: enough taper to lengthen the finger, short enough to work a keyboard and open a can. It needs a slightly wider apex than a long almond or the sides start to look pinched, which is worth mentioning at the salon. The sets here stay small in scale to match, using milky bases, thin French lines and a single chrome accent, and the posts note which designs lose their effect once the nail is filed below the fingertip.
