Why Almond works here
Tapered sides with a soft point — the universally flattering silhouette. With burgundy, the taper does quiet work: elongating shorter beds, while the short length keeps it genuinely livable — typing, gym and all.
How to get the look
- Prep: remove old polish, soak off any gel properly, and shape into almond with a glass file in one direction.
- Push back cuticles gently — never cut — and wipe each nail with isopropyl or a dehydrator so base coat actually grips.
- Choose short tips or keep natural length conservative; practical, typing-proof and secretly the chicest length right now.
- Lay down your base coat, then two thin coats of burgundy, capping the free edge each time — capped edges are the anti-chip secret nobody markets.
- Add the aura work in thin layers. Thin layers cure fully; thick ones wrinkle, bubble and lift within days.
- Seal everything with a quality top coat along the edge, oil your cuticles, and give hard tasks 24 hours before full wear.
