Went for a almondish shape and builder gel. I’ve had natural squareish shape long time (in early 00s had the super square forever French acrylic 🫣)
I’m not loving how thick the gel is- reminds me of acrylic. Also not loving shape on my hands but maybe because I’m not used to it
First two pics are new nails, grey nails are my typical and just for laughs the nails that made me run away from long nails for 15+ years

I’m seeing more ish than almond.
I say 3, your go to, is perfect for you. Definitely stay away from 4🤭
I like 1 the best. The slight curve softens the square nail bed.
They’re slightly thicker than they should be, but I do prefer the first shape!
Your nails are just too short to get a true almond shape, but I definitely think the rounded shape looks much better than the squared. And boy oh boy do I remember the forever French squares. I had them from the age of 16, which was 2002, up until 22/23, somewhere around 2008-2009. I still absolutely love a delicate French tip, but they are never square when I do them!
What is “builder gel”?
