Nail trends go in and out as fast as the months fly by. We think this nail trend is here to stay, because it's just so easy and classy! Keep reading to learn one of the best nail tricks of the year.

This trend is called square nails, and it's just as simple as it sounds. Instead of grooming your nails as you normally would, try letting the sides grow out a bit longer. Cut your nails across instead of around the contour of your fingertip, and watch how they begin to look more square. It will take a couple weeks to grow out your nails and cut them into squares, but the result is totally worth it.

When you first decide that you want square nails, it is important to treat your nails with care. This style is a bit longer, so make sure to rub lotion into your cuticles to keep them healthy and refreshed. After trimming your nails, file them so that there aren't any protruding edges. Buff the ridges out of your nails for the best look.

Becuase square nails are different than most other nails, they steal the show when it comes to sophistication. Square nails look incredible when painted any color. Square nails feature special treatments like the French manicure even better, because it is easy to run the white polish parallel to the new flat edge of your nail.

Dark colored polishes such as emerald green and brown are very in this fall, and square nails best show off these super pigmented shades. Try this trend and see how many nail compliments you can get.
