CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the result represent?
The result reflects the nail shape with the highest score based on the 20 responses. Shapes within one point of the highest score are reported as a blended result.
How long does the questionnaire take to complete?
Estimated completion time is about 10 minutes. Completion time may vary based on reading speed.
How should responses be selected for accuracy?
Select the option that best matches typical preferences and routine rather than an ideal outcome. Use consistent assumptions about usual nail length and maintenance.
What if multiple shapes are recommended?
A blended result indicates similar fit across more than one shape. Use the shared traits of the listed shapes to guide selection and maintenance.
Is the result a rule or a style guideline?
The result is a practical style guide, not a requirement. Nail strength, growth pattern, and finger proportions can affect which shapes wear well.
