Oval nails are filed to a soft, egg-like curve that is rounder than almond but more tapered than round, creating an elegant, feminine shape. They lengthen the fingers while staying wearable. TGC Boutique's oval press-on kits give the look in about five minutes at home.

Yes, oval nails lengthen and slim the fingers because the tapered, curved shape draws the eye down the nail, creating the illusion of length. They flatter short and wide nail beds especially well. A medium length gives the most elegant, elongating effect.

Yes, oval nails suit everyday wear, since the rounded tip is fairly strong and snag-resistant while still looking elegant and feminine. They are more wearable than stiletto or long coffin shapes. Oval press-on kits give a polished, lengthening manicure you can wear and remove at home.

Oval press-on nails from TGC Boutique typically last one to two weeks per wear with proper application, and many are reusable. Wear time depends on whether you use glue or adhesive tabs. Glue holds longer, while tabs are gentler and easier to remove for shorter wear.

Buff and clean your natural nails, push back the cuticles, and wipe with alcohol. Pick the closest-fit size, apply a thin layer of glue or an adhesive tab, then press and hold each oval nail for 10 to 15 seconds. Avoid water for the first hour so they set.

Oval and almond nails are both tapered and curved, but oval nails have a softer, rounder tip while almond nails come to a more defined point like the nut. Oval is the more natural and wearable of the two, while almond is slightly more dramatic. Both lengthen the fingers.
