A professional nail look is not only about colors and patterns but also about the nail shape. The shape determines how a complex design will look — whether it appears elegant, modern, or extravagant. At MONLIS Studio Munich, your beauty destination for manicure, pedicure, and nail art, expert stylists advise clients on how to combine shape and design for a balanced, stylish result.
Why Nail Shape Matters
Nail shape influences:
The effect of the design – feminine, bold, elegant, or sporty.
Practicality – some shapes are striking but less convenient for daily life.
Hand appearance – certain shapes make fingers appear slimmer or longer.
A complex design unfolds its full beauty only when it matches the shape. That’s why professionals at MONLIS Studio focus on personal consultations.

A timeless choice that suits almost everyone. Complex designs with floral or delicate motifs look especially elegant.Almond

Key Factors to Consider for Complex Designs
Shape and design in harmony: A delicate pattern looks very different on short square nails compared to long almond-shaped ones.
Proportion: Too many details can overwhelm small nails, while longer shapes offer more space for creativity.
Color choices: Light shades make nails appear longer, while dark tones emphasize the shape.
Comfort: Even the most beautiful design should remain practical for daily life.
Stylists at MONLIS Studio ensure that every design is both stunning and functional.
