Trends in 2025 Manicure for Soft Square Nails: Stylish New Ideas and Designs
Among the many popular nail shapes—square, almond, and ballerina—soft square should not be overlooked. This elegant and versatile shape deserves just as much attention. The soft square is a harmonious blend of the classic square and oval: the nails slightly extend beyond the nail bed, have a straight edge, and gently rounded corners. This silhouette gives the hands a refined and balanced appearance.
Want to try the soft square? Below you’ll find 11 stylish manicure ideas perfectly suited for this nail shape.
