INFORMATION SHEET 1
Nail Structure & Shape
Nail is a plate of keratin that lies on the tips of the fingers & toes
The main purpose of the nail is to protect the fingers & toes; however, the fingernail
also assists w/ certain physical activities in daily life
It is very essential for a manicurist to have knowledge on the different parts of the nails
for this will be your basis in giving nail care services to your clients.
The nail is an appendage of the skin.
Nail is a horny, translucent plate that protects the tips of the fingers and toes. It is
composed mainly of keratin, a protein substance that forms the base of all horny
tissue. The nail is whitish and translucent in appearance and allows the pinkish color
of the nail bed to be seen. The horny plate contains no nerves or blood vessels

Diagram of the nail and its structure.
Below are the diagrams nail and its structure.
The nail consists of three parts: nail body; nail root, and free edge
NailStructures
Body or Nail Structures of Nail
of Plate
Nail - visible portion of the nail that is attached to the nail bed.
5
Structures Beneath the Nail
The structures beneath the nail include the nail bed, matrix and lunula.
Nail Bed – the skin upon which the nail body or nail plate rests. It is supplied with
many blood vessels and nerves. The blood vessels supply nourishment for the nail.
Matrix – part of the nail bed, which contains nerves and blood vessels and is
located beneath the nail root. It produces cells that generate and harden the nail
and will continue to grow as long as it receives nutrition and remains in a healthy
condition.
Lunula – half-moon shape found at the base of the nail where the matrix connects
with the nail bed.
Nail Growth
There are factors that can influence the growth of nails such as nutrition, general
health and disease. A nail grows forward, starting at the matrix and extending over the
tip of the finger. Like hair, nails grow faster in warm weather. Adult’s nail growth is
about 1/8 inch per month whereas the nails of the children grow faster than those of
the elderly. Toenails grow slowly but they are thicker and harder than fingernails.
Nail Shape
Nails vary into four general shapes. Before you start to work on your client’s nails, both
of you should agree on the best nail shape. It should conform to that of the fingertips
for a more natural effect. People who perform work mostly with their hands prefer
shorter nails to avoid breakage and injury.
You should examine the hands of your client and its condition before starting. If you
notice some disorder, prepare nail repair. You should provide your client protective
materials/supplies for hygienic purposes.
Are you aware of your nail shape? Do you know your ideal nail shape for your desired
manicure? Now is the time for you to discover the different types of nail shapes.
6
Types of Nail Shape
ROUND
As one of the most conservative shapes of the bunch, the round shape
is ideal for men and those who like to maintain short nails. This shape
is flattering for wide nails and gives the illusion of a thinner nail bed. File
the sidewalls straight like a square, then round the free edge into that
perfect swooping circle.
SQUARE
This shape is referred to a classic shape. The square is ideal for a
bigger nail bed (it tends to make smaller nail beds look shorter and
wider).
To create this timeless shape, file the sidewalls straight and make sure
they're perpendicular to the free edge of the nail. Once you've got the
perfect square, angle your emery board and bevel the nail.
OVAL
The tapered sidewalls of the oval create an elegant shape for women.
Oval shapes flatter both wide and narrow nail beds and add length with
a graceful tip.
To achieve the perfect oval shape, file sidewalls straight to make sure
they are even. Then, shape the sidewalls into a rounded oval, making
sure the angles are even on each side.
SQUARE OVAL/SQUOVAL
Combining the elegance of the oval with the strength of the square, the
squoval is a popular nail shape for most fingers.
First begin with a square with straight and even sidewalls. File the
corners until your free edge is rounded and beveled. Remember, you
still want strong side supports—don't go too file-happy.
ALMOND/POINTED
The pointed nail is a popular style for acrylic and nail art designs,
especially in Eastern Europe and Asia. And while it's not favored for the
everyday look, this extreme shape can slenderize and lengthen the
fingers. File the sidewalls evenly and taper until you've reached the
desired tip.
Deciding Your Shape
How do you decide which nail shape is right for you? If your nail beds are wide, try a
squoval shape. If they are narrow, try a sharp square shape to widen and strengthen.
If you keep short nails, a rounded shape is your best bet for low-maintenance style.
You can also look at the lunula (the half-moon shape on your nail bed) for nail-shaping
guidance. If it's more curved, try oval or rounded.
