What nail shape works best for minimal fall nails?
For the most current look, a soft almond or a short squoval (square with rounded edges) is ideal. These shapes complement the natural curve of the cuticle and enhance the "clean" aesthetic.

Can I get this look with regular polish, or do I need gel?

Accepted Answer

While you can achieve the colors with regular polish, the plump, glossy finish that defines minimal luxury usually requires Gel or BIAB. Gel top coats provide that glass-like reflection that elevates simple nude shades.
