The Best Almond Nail Designs To Inspire Your Next Manicure

Before locking in your manicure, there are a lot of decisions to be made. Nail polish colour, length, nail art and of course, the shape. With round and square being the two main contenders, we thought we’d complicate things even further and throw in another amazing choice: almond.
