For the past 20 years, I've been an advocate for a short, softly square, contemporary nail - but recently, all that has changed! I'm loving the trend toward an elegant, feminine, almond shaped nail, and for the first time in years, I've been inspired to grow my nails.

A longer nail has given me the opportunity to play with one of my favourite nail art trends: The JP Crescent Manicure, a contemporary take on the classic, where a thin crescent is painted across the nail tip and delicately into the sides of the nail plate with the deepest and darkest of shades.

The key to keeping this look elegant and sophisticated is in the health of the nail and the personalised, softer shape, ensuring the nail is clean, natural and classic, with regular professional manicures. Regular manicures and at-home care between appointments will help condition and grow the nail, while maintaining the shape. I'm loving this journey toward a new nail shape, and I welcome you to join me!
