The Almond nail is a classic nail shape. It is achieved when the “nail is filed away at the sides and softly pointed at the tip”. This style will give the fingers the illusion of looking slimmer as well as smoother.

We must admit; Almond shape is not the strongest shape for your nails, as the sides provide the nail with strength. If the nail is damaged, some of the length will have to be filed away to rectify. It may not be the strongest but it sure is fierce!bBEAUTY-ALMOND_nails

Facts About Nail Growth

  • Nails and hair are quite similar as they are made of the same protein called keratin. Nails reflect the state of one’s health. Since nails don’t have sweat glands, they don’t perspire.
  • The nail plates, which are dead cells, don’t require oxygen and hence, don’t ‘breathe’ contrary to popular belief. However, the nail beds and cuticles rely on oxygen, vitamins and minerals, since they are live cells.
  • Nails grow at the rate of 0.1 mm daily (or 1 cm every 100 days).
  • Men’s nail grows at a faster rate than women’s nail. However, finger nails of both genders grow at a higher rate than toe nails.
  • The middle finger has the fastest growing nail while the thumb has the slowest growing one.
  • Nails that are regularly trimmed and cut grow faster than nails that are not cut often.
  • Weather plays a crucial role in nail growth. In warm weather or during the day nails grow quicker than in cold weather or during the night.
