There are battles about color, nail accessories, French Mani variations, and all that before most women even know what shape they want their nails to be.

Long or short, nails are an essential part of a well-groomed appearance, and some fashions and trends seem to take over in a flash. Forget the classic square or the girlish round; the hot new look everyone wants is the Edge Nail.

Nail shapes can be confusing. With experts bandying terms like "squoval," "flare," or "sqround," it might be enough to put anyone off trying out one of the most recent and fascinating trends: Edge Nails.

Yes, Edge Nails look like something a rap diva like Cardi B or Megan Thee Stallion rocks, but that doesn't mean the trend can't be adapted to real life.

For those whose middle name is discretion, the obvious choice is Nude Sharp Edge Nails, where the drama is all in the shape.

Of course, Edge Nails are not the most practical option, but they are undoubtedly the most glamorous, with fascinating alternatives from the quietly classical to the brash and bold.

What Is the Edge Nail Shape?

Nail artists describe the structure of Edge Nails as a square nail folded in half to tent the nail bed, with the tip filed into a stiletto shape. Nail stylist Anastasia Totty said:

"Short or extra long, they will make a statement as long as you have the straight free edge, sharp corners with a perfect glossy finish."

A guaranteed eye-catcher, the dramatic Edge Nail shape is not for the faint of heart, but there are a myriad of scrumptious variations that are sure to please.

French Manicure Edge Nails

The French Manicure Edge Nails is a perfect choice for those who want to be both classical and daring. The nail is a perfect nude pink glossed, and the white edges are embellished with a hint of gothic flamboyance.

Orange Neon Edge Nails

Shades of the pop-mad 60s and the Mary Quant girl tinge the dramatic Orange Neon Edge Nails. With scalpel-sharp nails glossed to a hot-lava orange, this look is offset by a more organic patterning or a dash of sequins.

Black Geometry Edge Nails

It may seem impossible to be bold and discreet, but Black Geometry Edge Nails carry the contradiction beautifully. Geometric overlays are shaded over a nude base in a subtle game of light and shadow that is pure elegance.

Flower Motifs Edge Nails

Choosing Edge Nails doesn't mean losing touch with your more delicate, fragile side. For those who remain country girls at heart, opt for a soft nude base and embellish the cutting edge with your favorite flowers.

Blue Edge Nails with Rhinestones

For those whose motto is "go big or go home," we suggest you go to Vegas with Blue Edge Nails with Rhinestones. Glossed in royal blue and spangled with rhinestones, these nails are designed to catch every eye and outshine those Sin City neon lights.

Pure Rose Edge Nails

Edge Nails are not for the faint of heart, but Pure Rose Edge Nails manage to bring a decidedly girlish (but not naive) touch to the style. Shade from the softest candy pink to fuchsia for maximum impact.

Red Classic Edge Nails

There is a reason why the seductive femme fatale is depicted with long, dangerous red nails in literature and movies. There is nothing sexier and more elegant than Red Classic Edge Nails for the aspiring vamp.

White Shining Edge Nails

Retro gals will go gaga over White Shining Edge Nails made to flicker and flash under the disco lights. The edge is angel-white, but the bed of the nail shimmers with mirror-ball glamour.
