Flare (10/17)

The flare nail shape, also called the mermaid or trumpet shape, features a gently flared, rounded silhouette that widens towards the tip. This shape can create the illusion of longer, more slender fingers, making it a flattering choice for those with shorter nail beds. 

How to create: To create the flare look, file the nails into a soft, rounded shape that gradually widens towards the tip.
