Some prefer almond, some ballerina and others natural – we’re talking of course about nail shapes.

But have you heard of the latest shape for 2019? The lipstick.

The clue is in the name, the nail is filed at an asymmetric angle for a dramatic finish and this slanted bullet shape is reminiscent of a fresh-out-the-box lippy.

The extra-pointy stiletto and its sister coffin have proved popular styles over the past few years, with celebrities such as Kylie Jenner and Love Island stars opting for them as their nail shape of choice.

The lipstick appears to be the 2019 update on angular nails – so we’re expecting to see the new shape sprawled across our social media feeds very soon.

Celebrity and editorial nail artist Park Eunkyung of Unistella Nails is the woman behind the term, first coining it on her Instagram page earlier this year.

Park’s inspiration behind the shape came from her love of cat-eye sunglasses, as she was determined to style her nails much like her favourite shades.

Her Instagram account provides plenty of nail inspo – or nailspo – for how to wear the quirky shape, from red tips and ombré pastels to more muted light pink polishes.

Whether the new nail shape is practical for day-to-day tasks is yet to be determined – but Park seems confident that they are in fact comfortable, claiming that they combine the qualities of a short and long nail into one.

Practicality aside, they certainly look impressive and it’s likely we’ll be seeing much more of them over the coming months.
