Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

1. Pointy: To match your overall look

This one is a little tricky because it depends on the cut, texture, and color of your nail, but if you’re trying to go just like Kylie and have long straight nails, pointy nails should be your first choice. If you have more of a simple slip-on flat, then your pinky toe should be your only pointy nail. Don’t be afraid to take them down a bit if your cuticle is bleeding and make sure to keep your tip padded with nail polish so you don’t see the blister marks.

2. Rectangle: Layered with a slick base coat

If you want your nail to look a little bit like a lid, this is your perfect option. Layered with a creamy nude base, swipe a thin line of color (like one of Kylie’s or a healthy bit of a nude like Nail artist Anthony Bertazzo’s favorites) through your top coat and let it dry. This adds a polish accent that contrasts nicely with the other color and will leave you with what may look like a mess at first, but will come back to your lovely lips looking dewy and with a small amount of shine.

3. Iceberg: Mix some sand with a layered base

If you want to have your nails stand out a little but in a delicate way, this may be the shape you’re looking for. Layering in a neutral cream base with a bit of shimmery white color mixed with it will give your nails that extra creamy matte finish. Just keep in mind that the brighter the color of the polish, the more it will make your nails look uneven. If you like your nails this cool, try Jamie Lynn Designs’ #3diamonds nail art.

4. Violet: A little laid-back with a bold painted-on tip

This classic shape looks classic and will compliment your facial features. It is dark enough for a formal occasion but easy enough to take to a night out. Make your topsider stand out by wearing it with something that matches your outfit rather than overdoing it with red.

5. Cherry: Candles on her manicure

Your nails are the perfect canvas for a classic shape. You can play around with the color palette by choosing a light shade of a similar shade and don’t be afraid to try one of your favorite shades for the first time. Color polish is a great option for doing a cute-with-a-big-use-of-nails print. For the best results, lightly buff polish from nail to nail to get that glossy finish you love to fall in love with.

6. Opalescent: A soft softening, modern and flattering look

This is the perfect shade for a simple daytime look. Don’t go too heavy with the bold color and play with texture and the tip. Plush peach nail wraps or color highlights by Craft Nails can take that hue from cool to springy.

7. Almond: Springtime perfection with an ’80s twist

If you’re loving Kylie’s nail art, this is the classic new season trend that will feel right at home on your spring to the toes. The shape of this nail adds sophistication and grace to your nails but it has the ability to switch it up for fun or a night out. A brown-red treatment added to this shape, like New Mexico Nails’ Spring Chic technique, will take you from beachwear to appropriate dinner attire and down to nice red and beige color choices.

8. Tender: Ground up and funky with a rich, saturated color

This classic shape mixes romance and softness with a vibrant color. A classic color like Nail artist Mani+Bar Petite Cie has a variety of shades you can switch up with what you’re feeling at the time.

9. Cherry: Chill out

This shape always looks special. This look is sure to be one of the most popular nails of the season. If you’re not wearing orange, you can add some fun to your nails with just a hint of bright red nail polish. Or if you have orange nails, just add some fun rounded tips to the shape like check out Romy Russel’s tips from her series of blue nail designs.

10. Moon: Classic perfection with an “80s twist

Sometimes it’s hard to choose just one design style for your nails, but once you’ve tried them all you may actually like the way they all look together. This classic shape gives your nails the perfect finishing touch for your lips and your everyday looks. The nail patterns by Lori Leaney at NYC Ink nail bars are a welcome display of those sparkles.
