Along with choosing your nail colour, the second hardest thing to decide is your nail shape. Partly because, you have absolutely no idea what shape actually... suits you.

And it sucks. Because there's truly nothing worse than walking out of a salon, after dropping a decent amount of money, with digits you're not quite happy with.
Sigh.
