When it comes to getting your nails done, choosing a colour to match your mood is just half the battle — choosing a nail shape [1] to go hand in hand with your design is where the real fun begins. From edge nails to stiletto nails, we've come across a ton of sexy nail shapes [2] that are perfect for summer. If we had to pick a favourite? "Lipstick" nails would be at the top of the list.

It's easy to see where this nail shape gets its name from. Created by artist Park Eunkyung [3], they're made to mimic the angled shape of a fresh tube of lipstick — and the only thing that can make you feel sexier than a swipe of that is wearing it on the tips of your nails. This shape is less in your face than a stiletto nail and similar to a square shape, only with a slightly slanted (read: unexpected) twist.

According to a previous POPSUGAR article, lipstick nails have grown a large fanbase over the years, nail artist Miss Pop [4] said. The lipstick shape has become so popular these days that it's one of the go-to nail shapes for rapper Megan Thee Stallion, who typically switches up her nail art designs by the week [5]. Megan has worn the shape with all kinds of designs from geometric patterns to candy themes [6], but there's plenty more where that came from. Read ahead to take a look at some of our favourite takes on the lipstick nail shape.
