Pointy Fingernails— Back in Style?

I’ve noticed that host Courtney K. is sporting pointy fingernails painted in light frosted pink. This reminds me of my mother’s nails from the 1960s, when l was a little girl. I do my own nails, so l haven’t seen what’s being done at nail salons. I still prefer the traditional squared-off oval shape.

 

Do you do your nails— or have them done— this way? Do you like this retro style?

 

Here’s an example of the shape:

I am not a fan of the stiletto nail craze. I have french manicure acrylic nails with gel overlay, and cannot imagine wearing those. I prefer a square, with slightly rounded edges look to my nails.. Because I am a cleaning fanatic, it would be impractical for me to have that style. It is also not an appealing look to me. Kudos to those that care to rock that look though!😊

I've seen this look for a couple of years now but I don't care for it whatsoever!

NEVER liked the look!  So it's a big no for me.  Prefer the squoval (squared with rounded corners).

I don't care for the look either. My niece, wears her nails in that style.

I have to say, although I don't care for Courtney K's pointy nails, she is SO pretty !

Not a fan.

Maybe it is back in style to honor CATS the movie.., if so then I am OK with it but not for me!

It's better than the square " shovels."  😂
